A simplified approach to drug development discovered
For the first time, researchers have revealed the nanostructure of the mesoporous magnesium carbonate Upsalite and pore size control was achieved without organic templates or swelling agents. By controlling the pore structure of the material the amorphous phase stabilisation exerted on poorly soluble drug compounds can be tuned and the drug delivery rate can be […]

Supermaterial gives rejected drugs a new chance
Uppsala University researchers show that the new material Upsalite has great potential for development of new formulations of rejected drugs. Upsalite, presented in 2013, had the highest surface area ever measures for an alkali earth metal carbonate; 800 square meters per gram. According to a new study published in International Journal of Pharmaceutics, the extremely porous magnesium […]
