Sodium Starch Glycolate: A Versatile Excipient for Enhanced Drug Delivery
While Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is widely recognized for its exceptional disintegrant properties, its versatility as a pharmaceutical excipient extends to other critical functions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights the multifaceted roles of SSG in enhancing drug delivery, underscoring its value in modern pharmaceutical formulations.
Sodium Starch Glycolate (CAS No. 9063-38-1) is renowned for its primary role as a superdisintegrant. Its ability to rapidly absorb water and swell causes tablets and capsules to break down quickly, thereby facilitating the release and absorption of APIs. This core function is essential for achieving optimal drug absorption and bioavailability, making it a preferred choice for formulators aiming to improve tablet bioavailability.
Beyond its primary function as a disintegrant, SSG also serves as a suspending agent and a gelling agent. As a suspending agent, it can help to keep insoluble drug particles uniformly dispersed in liquid formulations or suspensions, preventing sedimentation and ensuring dose uniformity. Its gelling properties are valuable in creating stable gel matrices, which can be utilized in various drug delivery systems for controlled or sustained release. These secondary functions add to the overall utility of SSG as a versatile excipient.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides SSG that is manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards, ensuring its suitability for these diverse applications. The consistent physical and chemical properties of our SSG make it a reliable choice for formulators seeking to develop innovative and effective drug products. The reliability of the sodium starch glycolate disintegrant action is complemented by its potential in other formulation roles.
The versatility of SSG allows it to be incorporated into a wide array of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, suspensions, and even topical preparations. Its compatibility with various APIs and other excipients further enhances its appeal. By understanding and leveraging the complete potential of SSG, pharmaceutical companies can develop more efficient, stable, and patient-friendly drug products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to supporting these efforts by supplying this adaptable and high-performing excipient, solidifying its importance in modern pharmaceutical science.
