UK research leads to world-leading drug delivery technology
There is an unmet need to deliver drugs specifically to the colon (large intestine) in a reliable and controlled way. This new technology involves a drug coating consisting of ethycellulose and amylose, which is only digested by microbial amylase enzymes which are present in the colon. Drugs which are coated with this mixture can thus be taken... view more... (1998-08-06)
