OptiShell®: Better Development and Formulation Solutions for Challenging Compounds Using Cutting-edge Softgel Innovation
Summary: For the last 80 years, RP Scherer Softgel technology has brought poorly water soluble and/or permeable BCS II & IV compounds to market by improving their bioavailability. Gelatin has predominantly been the ingredient of choice for the softgel shell material for lipid base formulation; its success is demonstrated by the wide range and number of softgel products available on market. The significant interest in semi-solid systems for the potential of extended release profiles has prompted researchers to develop alternative encapsulating systems.
