Authored Article Publication

Alderley Park, UK - 19 October 2023: Evgen Pharma plc (AIM: EVG), a clinical stage drug development company developing sulforaphane-based medicines for the treatment of cancer and other indications, highlights an article published today in respected industry publication The Medicine Maker, authored by Evgen's Chief Business Officer, Dr Helen Kuhlman.

The article, entitled The Sulforaphane Promise, focuses on the recent study of Evgen's new enteric-coated tablet formulation, and why enteric coatings are of particular importance for a stabilised complex such as SFX-01 that releases highly biologically active sulforaphane. The SFX-01 complex is vulnerable to breakdown in acid conditions and the enteric coat prevents acid attack in the stomach, releasing the drug in the ideal region - the small bowel. It also discusses the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data from the recent study, demonstrating the improvements of the tablet formulation over previous formulations of SFX-01.

The Medicine Maker is an online and print publication based in the United States, focusing on the entire spectrum of drug development and with a readership of pharmaceutical industry professionals across all levels. The article can be read online here.
