According to the company, this platform aims to meet the challenges of orally delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), in particular. The self-emulsifying and self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS and SMEDDS) are said to improve oral bioavailability; to ease manufacturing and scale-up; to reduce inter/intra subject variability and food effects; to deliver peptides; to lessen the influence of lipid digestion; and to increase loading capacity. They also have an exceptionally low impurity profile, which helps to improve stability and shelf life.
