SENTAN Pharma Expands "Microparticle Platform" to Broadly Cover Pharmaceuticals to Environmental Fields

SENTAN Pharma Co., Ltd. (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director Masahigashi Matsubara) is developing a "Microparticle Platform" service centered on its unique nano- and micro-processing technology. With the expansion of this service, the company will work to "microparticulate everything to change the social environment," including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, agriculture, feed, and pet sectors.

Overview of "Microparticle Platform" Service

### Benefits of Microparticulation - Microparticulation (nano- and micro-processing) technology maximizes the inherent functions and potential of substances by microparticulating them to nano- and micro-sizes, thereby improving efficiency and safety. It is attracting attention as a technology that reduces the burden on people, living organisms, and the global environment. - Improved absorption and permeation of active ingredients - Enhanced safety through reduced usage - Improved QOL through sustained effects (sustained release) - Improved resource efficiency through sustained effect manifestation (sustained release)

### Target Fields - Our platform technology is expanding into fields that support the realization of a society coexisting with the environment, in addition to medical pharmaceuticals (nanoparticle formulations, micro sustained-release formulations). - Food, food additives (evidence acquisition through improved absorption, effective utilization of naturally derived ingredients) - Veterinary drugs, pet supplements (extension of healthy lifespan, improvement of breeding environment) - Feed (improvement of farmer management and working environment through maintaining livestock health) - Agricultural chemicals (environmental consideration through reduced usage and improved handling) - Cosmetics, skin care (improved skin penetration)

SENTAN Pharma's Unique Technology - Our unique technology has enabled stable and mass production of nano- and microparticles, making it possible to deploy the technology for real-world applications beyond the research stage. This allows us to provide sustainable and highly reproducible solutions in fields other than pharmaceutical applications. - SENTAN Pharma will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society where humans, living organisms, and the global environment coexist harmoniously through its microparticle platform.

About SENTAN Pharma Co., Ltd. - SENTAN Pharma aims to improve the social environment through microparticulation, expanding its business into a wide range of fields, including pharmaceuticals, health foods such as "Genmai Foodicle" (brown rice food supplement), and livestock/aquaculture feed such as "High Gamma Oryzanol," centered on its proprietary nano- and microparticle basic technology, the "SENTAN Platform." - https://www.sentan.co.jp/
