6 October 2018 Tablets & Capsules Encapsulated ionic formulation may simplify treatment for diabetes patients CAMBRIDGE, MA—Researchers at Harvard University are develop- ing an oral treatment for type-1 dia- betes that could increase patient compliance and make life easier for patients who would otherwise have to give themselves daily injections. Because the insulin protein breaks down in stomach acid and is poorly absorbed outside of the intestines, researchers used an ionic liquid of choline and geranic acid as a carrier for the insulin and delivered the for- mulation in an acid-resistant, enter- ic-coated capsule that dissolves in the small intestine. The choline and geranic acid allowed insulin mole- cules to pass through the intestine's mucus lining and the tight cell junc- tions of the intestine wall. In addi- tion to being easy to manufacture, biocompatible, and easier to store t h a n i n j e c t a b l e i n s u l i n , o r a l l y ingested insulin would more closely mimic the way a healthy pancreas makes and delivers insulin to the liver. The ionic liquid insulin formu- lation can be prepared in a one-step process that could be easily scaled for commercial production. markets Aging population and other factors to drive growth in global pharmaceutical drug market LYON, France—The global phar- maceutical drug market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.78 percent and will be worth $1.17 trillion by 2021, according to a report by ReportLinker.
