More than 50 years of Bulletins Techniques
In 1966, Gattefossé pioneered the first event to exchange on galenical formulations with the institution of the Journées Galéniques of Saint Remy de Provence. Throughout the years numerous subjects have been addressed by internationally recognized researchers, academic and industrial, always sharing their latest findings for the benefit of the whole pharmaceutical community.
Each year the proceedings of the meetings have been published in a Bulletin Technique, progressively building a rich collection. In a long tradition of sharing knowledge and for the 50th anniversary of Les Journées Galéniques, the Gattefossé Foundation is pleased to make the entire collection now available.
We invite you to open the doors of this unique and eclectic library to benefit from this knowledge of pharmaceutical science, formulation and drug delivery.
Bulletin Technique 2018 – Lipids and polymers in pharmaceutical technology Lifelong companions
Published as an open access article in International Journal of Pharmaceutics 558 (2019) 128-142
In pharmaceutical technology, lipids and polymers are considered pillar excipients for the fabrication of most dosage forms, irrespective of the administration route. They play various roles ranging from support vehicles to release rate modifiers, stabilizers, solubilizers, permeation enhancers and transfection agents. Focusing on selected applications, which were discussed at the Biennial Scientific Meeting of the Gattefossé Foundation 2018, this manuscript recapitulates the fundamental roles of these two important classes of excipients, either employed alone or in combination, and provides insight on their functional properties in various types of drug formulations. Emphasis is placed on oral formulations for the administration of active pharmaceutical ingredients with low aqueous solubilities or poor permeation properties. Additionally, this review article covers the use of lipids and polymers in the design of colloidal injectable delivery systems, and as substrates in additive manufacturing technologies for the production of tailor-made dosage forms.
Bulletin Technique 2015 – It’s life Jim but not as we’d like it: navigating beyond the rule-of-5
The 49th Journées Galéniques gathered together leading academics and industrial scientists from around the world to provide a contemporary and updated understanding of the challenges and opportunities in drug development for molecules which are outside the traditional ‘rule-of-5’ drug space.
In this 108th Edition of the Bulletin Technique you will find the abstracts and information about the presenters. However the majority of full articles have been published in the Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews entitled ‘Understanding the challenges of beyond the rule of 5 compounds: Volume 101 June 1, 2016.
