The present disclosure relates to aqueous composition comprising hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) polymer dispersed in water, wherein the dispersed polymer is partially neutralized with at least one alkaline material. The instant disclosure also relates to compositions for use in methods of making capsule shells endowed with bulk enteric properties. The present disclosure also relates to capsules made according with the compositions and methods of the present disclosure.

Bulk enteric capsule shells

The present invention relates to new acid resistant hard pharmaceutical capsules, a process for their manufacture and use of such capsules particularly but not exclusively for oral administration of pharmaceuticals, veterinary products, food and dietary supplements to humans or animals. The capsules of the invention are obtained by aqueous compositions comprising a water soluble film forming polymer and gellan gum in a mutual weight ratio of 4 to 15 weight parts of gellan gum for 100 weight parts of film forming polymer.

Acid resistant capsules

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of hard pullulan capsule shells and capsules comprising (I) moisture, (II) a mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides free pullulan and (III) a setting system. Also provided are an aqueous composition and a dip-molding manufacturing method for the manufacture of such shells and capsules.

Hard capsules

A dosage form article consisting of a hard capsule coated with a surface modifying coating wherein the coating is an aqueous composition comprising water and a muco-adhesive polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(acrylates), cellulose derivatives, hyaluronic acid, starch, poly(ethylene glycol), polysaccharides, collagen derivatives, and mixtures thereof, wherein the ratio of the muco-adhesive polymer to water is less than 0.15 by weight of the coating composition.

Dosage form articles for external mucosal applications

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of new hard pullulan capsule shells and capsules comprising (I) moisture, (II) a mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides free pullulan and (III) a setting system. Also provided are an aqueous composition and a dip-molding manufacturing method for the manufacture of such shells and capsules.

A composition for manufacture of hard hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose capsules comprising a film forming material of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose having a methoxy content of 27.0-30.0% (w/w), and a hydroxypropoxy content of 4.0-7.5% and as a 2% weight solution, a viscosity of 3.5-6.0 cPs at 20&#xb0; C., dipping compositions, process for manufacture of hard hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose capsules according to a dip coating process and hard capsule shells.

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose hard capsules and process of manufacture

The present disclosure relates to acid resistant banding solutions for two piece hard capsules endowed with acid resistant properties, and methods of making and using acid resistant banding solutions. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to methods for banding such acid resistant capsules which provides an acid resistant seal between the capsule parts and achieves increased acid resistance in vitro.

Acid resistant banding solution for acid resistant two piece hard capsules

The present disclosure relates to aqueous compositions for use in the manufacture of capsule shells endowed with bulk enteric properties. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to aqueous dispersions suitable for the implementation of said manufacturing process, and to enteric capsule shells and hard capsules obtained therewith.

The present invention provides a banding composition for hard capsules using hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) as a base comprising (1) low viscosity HPMC; (2) a component selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, 1-propanol, acetone and/or ethyl acetate; (3) a surfactant; and (4) water; and a method for banding hard capsules using hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose as a base by using the banding composition described.
