Enabling formulation & drug delivery

Turning poorly absorbed molecules into viable medicines.

Auralis Bio is a specialist development partner for small-molecule programmes held back by bioavailability. We engineer enabling formulation and drug delivery strategies that overcome poor solubility and first-pass metabolism — enhancing systemic exposure and clearing the path to the clinic.

The challenge

When a promising molecule can't get into the blood

An estimated 4 in 10 development candidates — and the majority of modern discovery libraries — suffer from poor aqueous solubility. The result is low oral exposure, high variability, and a pharmacokinetic profile that stalls a programme before it reaches patients. We exist to fix that one molecule at a time.

Why Auralis

A focused partner, not a production line.

Mechanism-led

We diagnose why exposure is low — solubility, dissolution rate, permeability, or first-pass metabolism — then select the technology that addresses the actual rate-limiting step.

Phase-appropriate

From a few milligrams of API for a screen to GMP clinical supply — we scale the science to your stage and conserve precious material at every step.

Translation-ready

Every formulation is designed with developability, stability, and a credible CMC and regulatory story in mind — so early wins survive the journey to the clinic.
