PROSILIC®
ProSilic® is our patented bio-courier technology created to solve the fundamental limitations of a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients. It can improve efficacy, stability, solubility, bioavailability, release and route of administration.
ProSilic® is a fully biodegradable hybrid of porous elemental silicon (Si14), lipids and amino acids offering exceptional safety and versatility.
EXAMPLES OF MOLECULES FORMULATED WITH PROSILIC®
PROSILIC® IS
EXTREMELY VERSATILE
- Very high surface area (>700 m2/g)
- Pore volume of > 1 cm3/g
- Stable nanostructure
- Tunable pore diameter (2-10 nm)
- Two functional surfaces (interior and exterior)
- Control of particle size and shapes
- Modifiable particle surface
PROSILIC® IS
EXCEPTIONALLY SAFE
ProSilic® is designed to dissolve to a beneficial micromineral, orthosilicic acid (OSA), the bioavailable form of silicon absorbed from food. Therefore, in contrast to many other drug delivery systems, ProSilic® leaves no foreign residues in the body.
