Montreal-based IntelGenx (OTCQX: IGXT), a leading oral drug
delivery technology company, uses a suite of proprietary technologies to
provide its pharmaceutical partners with a range of superior and cutting-edge
drug delivery solutions. The company’s underlying mission is to be the primary
medical choice when it comes to oral solid dose innovation.
IntelGenx proprietary technologies include both film and
tablet platforms:
VersaFilm™ enables the development of oral thin films for
enhanced oral drug delivery, offering:
Rapid disintegration without the need for water
Quicker buccal or sublingual absorption
Potential for faster onset of action and increased
bioavailability
Potential for reduced adverse effects by bypassing
first-pass metabolism
Easy administration for patients who have problems in
swallowing: pediatric, geriatric, fear choking and/or suffering from nausea
(e.g., nausea resulting from chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any surgical
treatment)
Pleasant taste
Small and thin size, making it convenient for consumers
Can be used for veterinary applications
VersaTab™ multilayer tablet technology offers a new level of
controlled-release tablets:
Linearization of the release profile using controlled
erosion of inactive cover layers
Reduction in peak plasma concentration reduces side effects
Potential to deliver multiple actives with independent
release profiles
Separation of active ingredients to avoid chemical
incompatibility
Improved patient compliance due to reduced dosing frequency
AdVersa™ is a mucoadhesive tablet for controlled rate
release of active ingredients:
Fast mucosal absorption formulations for highly permeable
drugs
Improved bioavailability
Avoid high drug metabolization
Limited gastro-intestinal exposure
Equal therapeutic effect achieved while reducing API loading
Increased absorption of poorly soluble API
Rapid or immediate release delivery
Versatile residence time achieved to enhance/control
absorption
Targeted profile concentrations maintained
Improved patient compliance
With these technologies, IntelGenx has developed a growing
portfolio of products, including:
Rizaport, the first rizatriptan oral disintegrating film for
the treatment of migraine to achieve EU marketing approval
Tadalafil, one of the three major PDE5 inhibitors in the
erectile dysfunction market, a film-based product offering longer duration of
action and less food effect, and improved discrete dosage form that does not
require water intake
Loxapine, an oral film for the treatment of anxiety and
aggression in patients suffering from schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder
Montelukast, for the treatment of degenerative diseases of
the brain, such as mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, the most
prominent form of dementia
Forfivo XL® (Bupropion extended-release), the first 450 mg
bupropion HCl tablet indicated for Major Depressive Disorder to be approved by
the FDA
