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.
