Mesalamine EC Pellets are pharmaceutical-grade enteric-coated multiparticulate pellets containing Mesalamine (5-Aminosalicylic Acid / 5-ASA). Mesalamine has the chemical formula C₇H₇NO₃, molecular weight 153.14 g/mol, and CAS Number 89-57-6.
The enteric coating is designed to provide resistance to acidic gastric conditions and support pH-dependent release of the active ingredient in the intestinal region. Enteric-coated mesalamine multiparticulate systems are used in formulation development where controlled gastrointestinal release and distribution of 5-ASA are required.
Mesalamine EC Pellets provide a flexible multiparticulate platform for capsule filling and other oral dosage-form development. The pellet format can support more uniform distribution through the gastrointestinal tract compared with single-unit dosage forms, while the enteric coating can be tailored according to the required release profile.
Mesalamine EC Pellets manufacturer in India applications include pharmaceutical formulation development, capsule filling, multiparticulate dosage forms and bulk pharmaceutical manufacturing. The product can also be evaluated by pharmaceutical companies seeking Mesalamine EC Pellets suppliers in India for formulation and commercial manufacturing requirements.
Mesalamine EC Pellets are designed for oral formulations where protection from acidic gastric conditions is required before intestinal release.
The multiparticulate pellet format is suitable for incorporation into hard gelatin or suitable capsule dosage forms, subject to formulation requirements.
Mesalamine pellets provide a multiparticulate approach that can help distribute individual coated units throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
The pellets can be used as an intermediate formulation component for development and scale-up of enteric-coated oral products.
Mesalamine EC Pellets can be supplied for pharmaceutical manufacturing requirements with product-specific loading, coating and quality parameters.
