Technology & Business
|
Ionic liquid transdermal system (ILTS(R)) technology enables to aquire adequate solbility of various APIs through: - Forming ionic liqid with the API, or - Solving the API in ionic liquid. MEDRx is the world first company to accomplish the dramatically increased penetration capability of drugs by ILTS(R). We are also the only company to have run clinical trials on the efficacy of API-IL (Rogers RD, et.al. Ionic liquids in drug delivery. Expt Opin. Drug Deliv. 2013; 10: 1367-81). ILTS(R) technology represents: 1. Ionic liquid library consisted of the combinations of proven compounds to apply on the human bodies safely. 2. Know-how to select preferable ionic liquids for the drug to increase the penetration capability. 3. Know-how to transform ionic liquids with drugs into the preferable formulations, such as patches and ointments, for the administration. ILTS(R) patent portfolios cover preparations for wide range of APIs.
