Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Eudragit RL is a synthetic, enteric polymer commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations. It is a copolymer of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, with a high molecular weight. It exhibits pH-dependent solubility, meaning it dissolves in the alkaline environment of the small intestine but not in the acidic environment of the stomach. This property makes it ideal for protecting sensitive drugs from degradation in the stomach and for targeted drug delivery to the small intestine. Eudragit RL is typically used to create enteric coatings for tablets, capsules, and granules. These coatings are designed to dissolve only after the dosage form has passed through the stomach, releasing the drug in the small intestine.

Eudragit RL is frequently studied for its ability to enhance the bioavailability of certain drugs, reduce side effects, and improve drug delivery efficiency. The research focuses on understanding the release kinetics, stability, and compatibility of Eudragit RL coatings in different formulations. It also examines the impact of different manufacturing processes on the properties of the polymer and the effectiveness of the final drug product.

Eudragit RL is considered a safe and effective excipient for use in pharmaceutical formulations. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of a range of drugs.'
