Salcaprozate Sodium
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Salcaprozate Sodium, commonly known as SNAC, is a Pharmaceutical Grade absorption enhancer. It is a key functional excipient used to facilitate the oral delivery of poorly permeable drugs and macromolecules.
As a high-purity chemical, it works by increasing the lipophilicity of water-soluble drugs through non-covalent complexation. This mechanism significantly improves the bioavailability of therapeutic peptides and proteins.
This compound is recognized for its excellent safety profile and is widely utilized in innovative drug delivery systems (DDS). It remains stable under standard pharmaceutical manufacturing conditions and storage protocols.
Salcaprozate Sodium
APPLICATIONS
- Oral Peptide Delivery: Essential for the oral formulation of GLP-1 agonists and other peptide-based medications.
- Bioavailability Enhancement: Used to increase the intestinal absorption of vitamins and heparin-based anticoagulants.
- Drug Formulation: Serves as a specialized carrier in solid dosage forms to overcome the gastric acid barrier.
SAFETY & RISKS
Regulated as a Low Hazard pharmaceutical intermediate. Use Respirators and Lab Coats in cleanroom environments to prevent cross-contamination.
PACKAGING
1 kg / 5 kg Aluminum Foil Bags or 25 kg Fiber Drums for commercial production.
