AlphaRx to Present Research Paper at the 28th International Symposium on Controlled Release of Bioactive Materials Conference.Business Editors, Health/Medical Writers BIOWIRE2K RICHMOND HILL, Ontario--(BW HealthWire)--May 31, 2001 AlphaRx Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :AHRX) announced today it will present the results of its human clinical trial on Coenzyme coenzyme (kō-ĕn`zīm), any one of a group of relatively small organic molecules required for the catalytic function of certain enzymes. Q-10 in a research paper entitled "Increased Bioavailability bioavailability /bio·avail·a·bil·i·ty/ (bi?o-ah-val?ah-bil´i-te) the degree to which a drug or other substance becomes available to the target tissue after administration. bi·o·a·vail·a·bil·i·ty n. of Coenzyme Q-10 In Self-Emulsifying Controlled Release Tablet: New Type of Delivery System for Hydrophobic Drugs" at the 28th Controlled Release Society Symposium. The paper will document the superiority of AlphaRx's Self-Emulsifying Controlled Release Tablet (S.E.C.R.E.T.) technology in the oral delivery of Coenzyme Q-10 and other hydrophobic drugs. Formulating deliverable hydrophobic drug molecules remains a difficult task in pharmaceutical development. Traditional lipid-based drug delivery systems utilizing soft or hard gelatin gelatin or animal jelly, foodstuff obtained from connective tissue (found in hoofs, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage) of vertebrate animals by the action of boiling water or dilute acid. oral capsules require dedicated, expensive equipment for their manufacture and offer limited control over the timing of drug release. By comparison, AlphaRx's unique S.E.C.R.E.T. polymeric tablet drug delivery system can be fabricated with existing generic pharmaceutical manufacturing technology and supports a flexible drug release profile, including once-a-day dosing.
