Conclusion<br />
• Using Kollidon ® 30 LP in <strong>the</strong> formulation of<br />
actives highly sensitive to oxidation can significantly<br />
improve drug stability.<br />
• A correlation was found between <strong>the</strong> peroxide<br />
content and <strong>the</strong> stability of <strong>the</strong> model actives.<br />
• Fur<strong>the</strong>r investigations to underline <strong>the</strong> effectiveness<br />
of Kollidon 30 LP in a dry state will<br />
be reported soon.<br />
