Enteric Capsules are a specially designed drug delivery system designed to achieve drug release at specific locations in the intestine through specific coating materials. As an important coating material for Enteric Capsules, cytokine derivatives have unique advantages that make them an indispensable component of modern drug delivery technology.

1. Excellent biocompatibility
Cytokine derivatives such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) have biocompatibility because they are derived from natural plant fibers. These materials are not prone to allergic or adverse reactions during metabolism in the body, and can ensure the safety of drugs and the comfort of patients.

2. Stable enteric performance
One of the core functions of Enteric Capsules is enteric performance, which requires the capsule to remain stable in the gastric acid environment until it reaches the small intestine and begins to dissolve. Cytokine derivatives have pH sensitivity and can remain insoluble in the acidic environment of the stomach, but quickly dissolve in the neutral or slightly alkaline environment of the small intestine.

3. Precise control of drug release
Cytokine derivatives can precisely control the release time and rate of drugs by adjusting their molecular structure and formulation. This is especially important for drugs that need to work at specific locations in the intestine. For example, some drugs need to be released in the intestine to exert their therapeutic effects, and the coating of cytokine derivatives can ensure that the drugs are released at the appropriate time point, thereby improving the efficacy of the drugs and reducing unnecessary side effects.

4. Improve drug stability
The coating formed by cytokine derivatives in the preparation can not only effectively prevent the degradation of drugs in the gastric environment, but also reduce the interaction between drugs and other ingredients. This protective effect can significantly improve the stability of drugs, extend the shelf life of drugs, and ensure that drugs maintain their therapeutic effects throughout the shelf life. In addition, cytokine derivatives also have good moisture resistance, which further enhances the stability of drugs.

5. Flexibility of production process
Cytokine derivatives have high flexibility in the production process. Manufacturers can adjust the thickness and composition ratio of the coating according to the characteristics and needs of the drugs, thereby realizing personalized drug delivery solutions.

6. Environmental friendliness
Cytokine derivatives are derived from natural plant fibers, and their production process has less impact on the environment than some synthetic materials. Enteric Capsules made with cytokine derivatives are in line with the trend of green pharmaceuticals and help reduce the burden on the environment.
