Nucleic acid formulations (e.g., DNA and RNA vaccines, RNAi therapeutics, etc.) are increasingly being emphasized for their potential in gene therapy and molecular biology research. CD Formulation has developed a series of advanced coating technology platforms to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of nucleic acid formulations.
Coating technology can effectively isolate light, oxygen, humidity and other environmental factors on the stability of the drug damage, improve the stability of the drug, increase the storage cycle of the drug, improve the palatability of the drug, to achieve the drug in the stomach or intestines of the localization of the target release.

CD Formulation has not only solved the problem of stability of nucleic acid drugs in organisms through advanced coating technology but also improved the targeting and controlled release of drugs, thus achieving better therapeutic effects. Below are some common types of coating technologies and their characteristics.
Items | Descriptions | Characteristics |
---|---|---|
Film Coating Technology | Film coating mainly consists of polymers, plasticizers, and pigments that form a thin protective layer. | Film coating technology improves the stability of the drug, controls the release of the drug, protects the drug from environmental factors (e.g., moisture, light), and also masks the bitter taste and odor of the drug. |
Sugar Coating Technology | Sugar coating technology involves applying multiple layers of sweeteners, such as syrups. | This technology enhances the appearance and taste of medicines, especially for children's medications. |
Enteric Coating Technology | Enteric coating technology utilizes polymers that are stable in stomach acid but dissolve in the alkaline environment of the intestine. | This technology protects the drug from destruction in the stomach and ensures release in the intestine, making it suitable for drugs that need to avoid gastric irritation and for drugs that require absorption in the intestine. |
Controlled Release Coating Technology | Controlled release coating technology enables the sustained, controlled, or burst release of drugs through specific polymers and coating technologies. | This technology allows for the modulation of the release rate of the drug, prolonging the duration of efficacy, reducing the frequency of administration, and improving patient compliance. |
Functional Coating Technology | Functional coating technology includes, but is not limited to, moisture-proof coatings and taste improvement coatings. | This technology has multifunctional properties, such as preventing moisture absorption of drugs and enhancing the taste experience. |
Nanoscale Coating Technology | Nanoscale coating technology utilizes nanoscale materials for coating. | This technology offers ultra-high dispersibility and bioavailability for targeted release, enhancing drug absorption. |
CD Formulation's coating technology services cover multiple stages from initial development to commercial production, ensuring the efficacy and safety of nucleic acid drugs in vivo, and providing customized solutions for our clients.

Results:
The use of structures capable of localized release of biologically active molecules can improve the efficiency of disease treatment and better integration of implantable bionic devices. Strategic design of biopolymer coatings can be used to design optimal release profiles based on the task at hand. This paper reviews advances in this area using drug release from bone, brain, eye and cardiovascular implants as examples. The focus in these areas is to emphasize that both hard and soft tissue implants can benefit from controlled local drug delivery. The composition of biopolymers used to achieve appropriate drug delivery to selected tissue types and their corresponding outcomes are also highlighted. Finally, key factors in designing drug-loaded biopolymer coatings for biomedical implants are emphasized.
