Sustained Release Agent

Process analytical technology (PAT) has become an important factor in design, analysis and control of complex technological processes. In the present study, pellet coating process was monitored using four different PAT approaches, i.e. near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, in-line…

Most pH-sensitive polymer coating studies for potential colonic delivery systems apply multiple layers to protect the active agent from degradation and early release in the stomach and small intestine. This study designed a single-coat pH-sensitive layer for colon-specific delivery with a potential…

In this article, a new type of mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCN) was fabricated as a potential oral delivery system of insulin to reduce the adverse reactions by hypodermic injection. The mesoporous carbon nanoparticles-carried insulin (MCNI) was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM),…
