Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) which exhibits high solubility and can suppress generation of undissolved materials when dissolved in a solvent; an HPMCAS-containing composition; and a method for producing the HPMCAS. More specifically, provided are HPMCAS having a ratio of 2-position MS to 3-position MS of 1.2 or less, wherein the 2-position MS means a molar substitution of hydroxypropyl group by which a hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group on 2-position carbon of each glucose unit of the HPMCAS has been directly replaced, and the 3-position MS means a molar substitution of hydroxypropyl group by which a hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group on 3-position carbon of each glucose unit of the HPMCAS has been directly replaced; a composition comprising the HPMCAS and a solvent; and the method for producing the HPMCAS.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. Hypromellose acetate succinate having a ratio of 2-position MS to 3-position MS of 1.2 or less, wherein the 2-position MS means a molar substitution of hydroxypropyl group by which a hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group on 2-position carbon of each glucose unit of the hypromellose acetate succinate has been directly replaced, and the 3-position MS means a molar substitution of hydroxypropyl group by which a hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group on 3-position carbon of each glucose unit of the hypromellose acetate succinate has been directly replaced. 2. The hypromellose acetate succinate according to claim 1 , wherein a 10% by weight solution of the hypromellose acetate succinate in an aqueous alkali solution has a transmittance of 70% or more. 3. The hypromellose acetate succinate according to claim 2 , wherein the aqueous alkali solution is aqueous ammonia. 4. A composition comprising the hypromellose acetate succinate according to claim 1 and a solvent. 5. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the composition is adapted for use as a coating composition. 6. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the solvent is aqueous ammonia.
