Physiology
Mimetics
The oral delivery of certain drugs provide
a unique advantage in that oral delivery mimics the
physiological path of endogenous secretion of these
compounds.
Drugs for Hepato-portal Destination
The effects of
various anti-viral and chemotherapy drugs could be
improved if high concentration in the liver is
required, since when given orally, these drugs are
absorbed through the mesenteric veins, travel to the
liver via the portal vein.
Improved Compliance and Convenience
Oral delivery is
the most convenient, most economical, and the most
compliant means of delivering therapeutic agents.
Advantageous Pharmacokinetic
Profile
One of the key
features on the eligen®
technology is the rapid onset of action.
Potential for Increased Efficacy
Converting the
drugs to an oral form allows for broader indications
and usage and thus potentially greater efficacy of
the compound.
