Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An esterified cellulose ether is provided wherein the ester groups are phthalyl groups, the degree of substitution of phthalyl groups is from 0.02 to 0.18, the degree of neutralization of phthalyl groups is not more than 0.75, and the esterified cellulose ether has a solubility in water of at least 2.0 weight percent at 2° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate, wherein the degree of substitution of phthalyl groups is from 0.02 to 0.18, the degree of neutralization of phthalyl groups is not more than 0.75, wherein the degree of neutralization=[—C(O)—C 6 H 4 —COO − ]/[—C(O)—C 6 H 4 —COO − +—C(O)—C 6 H 4 —COOH], and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate has a solubility in water of at least 2.0 weight percent at 2° C. 2. The hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 wherein the degree of substitution of phthalyl groups is from 0.05 to 0.17. 3. The hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 wherein the degree of neutralization of phthalyl groups is not more than 0.6. 4. The hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 wherein at least 85 wt. % of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate is soluble in a mixture of 2.5 weight parts of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate and 97.5 weight parts of water at 2° C. 5. A liquid composition comprising the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 dissolved in an aqueous liquid. 6. The liquid composition of claim 5 having a temperature of 15° C. or less. 7. A liquid composition comprising at least one hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 and an organic diluent. 8. A process for coating a dosage form comprising contacting a liquid composition comprising the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 with the dosage form. 9. A process for a manufacture of capsule shells comprising contacting a liquid composition comprising the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 with dipping pins. 10. A coated dosage form wherein the coating comprises at least one hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 . 11. A polymeric capsule shell comprising at least one hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 . 12. A capsule comprising the polymeric capsule shell of claim 11 and an ingredient selected from the group consisting of a drug, a nutritional or food supplement, or a combination thereof. 13. A solid dispersion of at least one active ingredient in at least one hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 . 14. The liquid composition of claim 5 wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate has the degree of substitution of phthalyl groups of from 0.02 to 0.15. 15. The liquid composition of claim 14 , characterized in that the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate gels at 50 to 90° C. 16. The liquid composition of claim 15 wherein the gelation is reversible. 17. The liquid composition of claim 5 wherein the liquid composition comprises at least 5 wt. % of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 dissolved in the aqueous liquid. 18. The liquid composition of claim 5 wherein the liquid composition comprises at least 10 wt. % of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 dissolved in the aqueous liquid. 19. The hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 wherein the degree of neutralization of phthalyl groups is not more than 0.3. 20. The hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate of claim 1 wherein the degree of neutralization of phthalyl groups is not more than 0.1.
