Triggerable coatings, such as pH-responsive polymethacrylate copolymers, can be used to protect the active pharmaceutical ingredients contained within oral solid dosage forms from the acidic gastric environment and to facilitate drug delivery directly to the intestine. However, gastrointestinal pH can be highly variable, which can reduce delivery efficiency when using pH-responsive drug delivery technologies. We hypothesized that biomaterials susceptible to proteolysis could be used in combination with other triggerable polymers to develop novel enteric coatings.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are creating tiny drug particles called nanoformulations that can help treat many diseases more effectively.
  • * These tiny particles can be tricky to make and usually don't hold a lot of medicine, but a new method can allow them to carry up to 95% of drugs.
  • * By using machine learning and testing millions of combinations, researchers found new types of these particles and think this will help create safer and better medicines faster.
