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.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Salcaprozate Sodium (CAS 203787-91-1) to customers in more than 40 countries.
