Cyrene<sup>TM<\/sup> itself and the nanoparticles were found to be biocompatible \u2013 meaning it is well suited to replace toxic harmful organic solvents more commonly used in their preparation. Using Cyrene\u2122 produced high-quality nanoparticles and led to a significant decrease in preparation time when compared to industry-standard solvents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyrene<sup>TM<\/sup> is an alternative to traditional dipolar aprotic solvents, which are used in large volumes \u2013 over one million tonnes per year \u2013 and under intense regulatory pressure due their toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Dagmar Fischer, from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, and the lead researcher on the project, said, \u201cIn comparison to the standard techniques used for the formulation of drug loaded polymer nanoparticles, interestingly with Cyrene<sup>TM<\/sup> it is possible to effectively reduce process time and process steps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony Duncan, CEO of Circa Group, said, \u201cWe are not surprised that Cyrene<sup>TM <\/sup>continues to show performance benefits in a range of medical and pharmaceutical applications. Extensive research shows it is a safer and more sustainable, high-performance alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Circa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Established in 2006, Circa Group converts waste, non-food biomass into advanced bio-based chemicals with its proprietary Furacell\u2122 process. Circa\u2019s FuracellTM process reduces the carbon footprint of Cyrene by up to 80% compared to similar petro-based solvents. Reduction in GHG emissions are also expected in both the use and at the end-of-life stages of Cyrene\u2122. By creating renewable chemicals from cellulose, Circa is extracting value from non-food, waste biomass and addressing a gap in the market by providing bio-based alternatives contributing to a more circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/circa-group.com\/\">https:\/\/circa-group.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OSLO, NORWAY \u2013 13 July 2021 \u2013 A study using renewable solvent CyreneTM, produced by biotechnology company Circa Group, found that high-purity nanoparticles can be produced \u2013 opening up opportunities to use CyreneTM as a more sustainable and safer replacement for current solvents used in drug delivery systems and medical implants.
