Supplement ingredient supplier Natreon said it has teamed up with the European pharmaceutical specialty company CM&D Pharma to form Puredel with the aim of delivering Ossulin, a new oral insulin product.

New Jersey-based Natreon said it has developed the dietary platform for the product.

At a presentation at the 9th Annual Diabetes Technology Meeting in San Francisco this week the companies highlighted the product’s effect in rabbits, which they said is a well-established model for studying the oral absorption of compounds.

Dr Marco Prosdocimi, Chief Scientific Officer for Puredel and lead author of the study commented:

“The data to be presented clearly show that Ossulin delivers insulin efficiently, resulting in blood levels higher than those observed with other oral insulin products.”

Natreon's said its R&D staff in the US and India are working closely with Puredel to help facilitate the next stage of scientific validation prior to commercial development.
