        technology platform
               - OptiShell™


Summary:


• Soft capsules are suitable for a wide variety of dosage and
delivery systems and often can be used to enhance therapeutic
performance

• The development of the OptiShell™, soft capsule technology has
expanded our encapsulation capability with respect to many
different types of fill formulation

• The OptiShell™ capsule shells can be used for the development
of liquid, suspension, and semi-solid formulations that would
otherwise prove extremely challenging or impossible to formulate
using conventional, gelatin shell technology

• Work is underway to investigate the feasibility of using
OptiShell™, and other novel encapsulation approaches, to further
enhance the delivery and absorption of challenging API’s
(including macromolecules)
