Organic nanomaterials can be used as candidates for oral delivery carriers. They have various advantages such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, extended delivery, and easy modification, and have been widely used in multiple oral nanoformulations. CD Formulation can provide you with formulation development services for organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulation to meet different requirements.
We offer comprehensive, innovative, and timely solutions and help you quickly develop the organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulations. Our technical team has many years of practical experience in the development of the following organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulations. And we support all phases of the formulation development and even commercialization process of the organic nanomaterial-based oral nanofomulations through our extensive technical expertise in the organic nanocarrier technology.
Polymers are often used as delivery vehicles for oral nanoformulations due to their modifiable groups (such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, etc.).
Micelles are amphiphilic colloidal structures with particle sizes ranging from 5 to 100 nm. Micelles are used as drug carriers in oral nanoformulations because they can carry lipophilic drugs within their core, while the micelle surface binds polar molecules. Polymer micelles are used therapeutically because they provide better solubility, thereby improving intestinal permeability of the micelles.
Liposomes, with a size range of 100-500 nm, are considered the most used nanocarriers for various potentially active hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules because of their high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. Liposomes have also been shown to enhance drug solubility and controlled distribution, as well as their surface modification capabilities for targeting, prolonged and sustained release. Therefore, liposomes as nanocarrier materials have also been widely used in oral nanoformulations.
Dendrimers have open cavities and high surface charge densities, which facilitate their customization into oral nanoformulations by incorporating targeting molecules, enhancers, or stabilizers.
Due to the unique crystalline porous structure of metal organic framework (MOF), MOF has emerged as a promising nanomaterial candidate in oral nanoformulation.
Protein polymers are naturally occurring macromolecules derived from plants and animals, making them an easily available renewable resource. In addition to being biodegradable and tunable, nanoparticles made from protein-based materials are often bio-compatible and easy to process. There are several different protein polymers suitable for nanoparticle-based drug delivery, each with its own unique structure-function relationship. Therefore, protein polymers have been widely used as nanomaterials in oral nanoformulation.
Common dosage forms of oral nanoformulations include nanosuspensions, nanoparticles, tablets, capsules, nanoemulsions, etc. Typically, nanosuspensions can be either final oral nanoformulations or formulation intermediates for final oral nanoformulations. CD Formulation relies on our advanced design concept to use different preparation methods according to different organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulation properties to prepare organic carriers that meet your requirements. Our solutions for organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulations are as follows.
There are various methods for preparing nanosupensions, including grinding method, high pressure homogeneous method, emulsification method, etc. If nanosuspensions are final oral nanoformulations, our fabrication of nanosuspensions is used by nanocrystal technology. If nanosuspensions are formulation intermediates for final oral nanoformulations, it is just the first step of the fabrication of oral nanoformulations.
We will use spray drying and freeze-drying techniques to solidify the nanosuspension into nanoparticles.
The physiochemical stability of the organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulations during the fabrication and storage can be determined by monitoring changes in particle size, zeta potential, drug content, appearance, and In vitro dissolution evaluation of organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulation, ect. We can provide you with the following analysis and characterization of organic nanomaterial-based oral nanoformulation including:

The authors discussed emerging technologies that seek to address remaining obstacles to successful gastrointestinal-based drug delivery. Scientists are developing non-physical technologies such as molecular modifications, nanoparticles, microparticles, large patches and devices that can be used clinically. At the molecular level, stability is improved by modifying drug molecules. For example, the diameter of nanoparticles is usually 1-100 nm, up to several hundred nanometers. These particles encapsulate the drug via excipients. Excipients are biodegradable or biocompatible polymers, lipids, surfactants, and mixtures thereof. Nanoparticles are more stable and absorbent, allowing for targeted drug delivery through the addition of surface ligands. Oral semaglutide combined with enhancer molecules (SNAC) to prepare pharmaceutical formulations is a typical example.
