The understanding of amorphous solid dispersions has grown significantly in the past decade. This is evident from the number of approved commercial amorphous solid dispersion products. While amorphous formulation is considered an enabling technology, it has become the norm for formulating poorly soluble compounds.

The use of excipients other than polymers for enhancing the physical stability of amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) has largely been unexplored. We investigated several organic acids (oxalic, tartaric, citric and succinic acid) for the purpose of stabilizing a weakly basic API, ketoconazole (KTZ), in the amorphous state.
