Research & Development

Research Focus — Science-led, Patient-first

Prikind's R&D organization focuses on formulation excellence, stability science, cost-effective processes, and patient-centric packaging. Our research drives product differentiation while ensuring regulatory compliance and manufacturability at scale.

Core Research Areas

  • Formulation Development — oral solids, syrups, chewables, and topical systems optimized for stability and bioavailability.
  • Process Optimization — scalable processes that reduce cost, waste, and cycle time while maintaining quality.
  • Stability & Shelf-life Science — accelerated and long-term stability programs to validate claims for diverse climates.
  • Patient-Centric Packaging — child-resistant, tamper-evident, and adherence-friendly packaging solutions.
  • Nutraceutical R&D — bioavailability improvements, microencapsulation, and taste-masking for adherence.

Applied Science & Analytics

We use analytical techniques and data-driven experiments to accelerate development:

  • HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, and dissolution profiling
  • Design of Experiments (DoE) for formulation screening
  • QbD (Quality by Design) principles for robust processes
  • Stability modeling and predictive shelf-life analytics

Laboratories & Equipment

Our R&D labs are equipped for both formulation and analytical projects, supporting quick scale-up to manufacturing:

  • Analytical lab: HPLC, dissolution apparatus, Karl Fischer, stability chambers (ICH conditions)
  • Formulation lab: High-shear mixers, coating pans, compression simulators
  • Microbiology: microbial limit testing, preservative efficacy testing
  • Pilot-scale line for verification batches and tech-transfer

Collaborations & Partnerships

We partner with academic institutions, CROs, and third-party labs to accelerate validation and regulatory readiness:

  • Bioequivalence and clinical partners for regulatory support
  • Third-party stability labs for climate-specific data
  • Ingredient suppliers and co-processing partners for specialty excipients
  • Private-label and co-manufacturing collaborations for custom projects

Current Pipeline & Key Projects

Selected projects that showcase our focus on patient needs and manufacturability.

Advanced Pediatric Syrup Formulation

Taste-masked, low-sugar syrup with child-safe dosing system; stability validated for 24 months at ambient conditions.

Slow-release Analgesic Tablet

Controlled-release matrix tablet to improve adherence and reduce dosing frequency.

Microencapsulated Nutraceutical Blend

Improved omega and vitamin stability via microencapsulation for extended shelf-life.

Process Waste Reduction Program

Process tweaks that reduced solvent and raw material waste by ~8% in pilot runs.

Publications & Patents

We document key learnings and file IP when appropriate.

  • Formulation note: pediatric syrup stability (Internal whitepaper)
  • Patent filed: child-safe dosing cap (Patent application #—placeholder)
  • Conference: poster on microencapsulation at PharmaCon 2025

From Lab to Line — Tech Transfer Process

  1. Feasibility & lab-scale proof-of-concept using DoE
  2. Pilot batches for process verification and stability initiation
  3. Scale-up plan & GMP documentation (SOPs, batch records)
  4. Regulatory dossier preparation and QC release criteria definition
  5. Commercial manufacturing & continuous improvement loop
