Project at a Glance

Contents on the CD Rom

  • Ethylcellulose (EC) is a hydrophobic ethyl ether of cellulose.
  • Ethylcellulose is a white or light grey powder with odorless and tasteless.
  • Ethyl cellulose (EC) is a non-toxic, stable, compressible, inert, hydrophobic polymer that has been widely used to prepare
    pharmaceutical dosage forms.
  • EC is currently used in pharmaceutical applications for micro encapsulation of actives, controlled-release matrix systems,
    taste masking, solvent and extrusion granulation, tablet binding, and as a controlled-release coating for tablets and beads.
  • Ethylcellulose is directly extracted from plant fibre (cellulose, cotton) and is then chemically modified.
  • Ethylcellulose is predominantly used in food supplements and flavourings in capsules.
  • It functions as a binding and filling agent or serves as protective coating.
  • Apart from that, Ethylcellulose can function as an emulsifier to stabilize water-oil-mixtures.
  • Ethylcellulose, a hydrophobic plastic polymer, is one of the most commonly used release retardant materials.
  • Ethylcellulose is used widely as an enteric coating for tablets and capsules.
  • Ethyl cellulose is a kind of cellulose ether, and it shows good thermo stability and electric properties.
  • The film made from EC has quite good permeability, it has been widely used industrial air filter.
  • Ethyl cellulose is non-bio degradable, bio-compatible, non-toxic natural polymer and widely used in oral and topical formulation.
  • Ethyl cellulose is a widely used excipient in pharmaceutical applications.
  • Its use is presently requested in the formulation of food supplements in dry applications e.g. as a controlled release agent and protective colloid and as a thickener/binder in hydrophobic matrices.
  • Ethyl cellulose is considered having unique properties in the formulation of food supplements in dry applications, which are defined
    as food categories in the European Union, i.e. as a coating agent for solid dietary food supplements and as a micro-encapsulating agent for fixing colours and flavouring agents.
  • Ethyl cellulose is prepared from wood pulp or cotton by treatment with alkali and ethylation of the alkali treated cellulose with ethyl
    chloride. The resulting product is then further steamed and dried.
  • Ethyl cellulose is a derivative of cellulose in which some of the hydroxyl groups on the repeating glucose units are converted into ethyl ether groups. The number of ethyl groups can vary depending on the manufacture.
  • It is mainly used as a thin-film coating material.
  • Ethyl cellulose is used as a food additive as an emulsifier.
  • Ethylcellulose content of pellets of various size fractions coated with an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion (Surelease®) was measured by a GPC/HPLC with a refractive index detector.
  • Ethylcellulose is one of the most widely used water-insoluble polymer in film-coating to achieve extended drug release.
  • Ethylcellulose was found to be an efficient microencapsulating agent and the ethylcellulose microcapsules exhibited good controlled release characteristics and were found suitable for oral controlled release of diclofenac over 12-16 h.
  • Microspheres were prepared by oil-in-oil emulsion evaporation technique using ethyl cellulose and eudragit®RS100.
  • The high performance liquid chromatography method with ethyl cellulose/cellulose acetate blends and EC as column packing material, and small molecular weight compound as probe molecules was employed to
    measure the retention volume and equilibrium distribution coefficient (K) of both inorganic and organic solutes.
  • Recently, fine particle ethylcellulose has become available to the pharmaceutical industry.
  • Four different batches of microspheres were prepared by varying the concentration of ethyl cellulose from 1 to 4 g.
  • The surface morphology of microspheres made of various ethyl cellulose contents was investigated using scanning electron microscopy  by mounting on stubs using double sided adhesive tapes.
  • The properties of prepared ethyl cellulose film e.g. pH, color, flexibility, tensile strength were measured by the standard
    methods.
  • The ethyl cellulose capsules contained a large number of mechanically made micropores (400 μm) at the bottom.
  • Ethylcellulose (EC) has been widely used as a barrier membrane or binder, to prepare pharmaceutical oral modified release dosage forms.
  •  The aqueous dispersion of ethylcellulose, for example Surelease® aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion, has been utilized to manufacture modified release multi-particulates in capsules and single unit tablets or softgel capsules through film coating applications.
  • Ethylcellulose is widely used to control the dissolution rate of drugs from sustained-release preparations.
  • It has also been used as a matrix in the preparation of both water soluble and sparingly water-soluble drugs using solid dispersion technique.
