High-amylose carboxymethyl starch matrices for oral sustained drug-release by Nabais, T.

“…High-amylose sodium carboxymethyl starch (HASCA) is an interesting excipient for sustained drug-release in solid oral dosage forms. In addition to the easy manufacture of tablets by direct compression, the results show that in vitro drug-release from an optimized HASCA formulation is not affected by either acidic pH value or acidic medium residence time. …”
