IOI: Essentials for Capsules

Nanoemulsions offer a promising method for dissolving and delivering active ingredients, especially BCS classes II and IV, in relevant quantities. IMWITOR® 375 opens up new possibilities to meet these current efficacy requirements. Several case studies have shown how our product can be used in nanoemulsions and what concrete advantages result from this.

When a challenge becomes an opportunity

In the world of pharmaceutical development, there is a constantly growing hurdle: more and more innovative active ingredients are poorly soluble in water or have a low permeability – and are therefore difficult for the human body to absorb. The result? Active ingredients with high therapeutic potential cannot achieve their therapeutic goal. But this is precisely where the newly developed group of excipients, the innovative lipid-based polyglycerol esters, offers new possibilities in the development of formulations.

MIGLYOL® 812 N is a triglyceride ester of saturated caprylic and capric fatty acids, made from plant-based raw materials. MIGLYOL® 812 N is a clear, virtually colorless, low viscosity liquid with a neutral odor and taste.IMWITOR® 742 is a partial glyceride of fully saturated caprylic and capric acid, based on plant-based raw materials, containing not less than 65 % of surface-active mono- and diglycerides. Typical dosing recommendations between 3-15 %

Protecting farm animals and pets from parasites is a key part of modern veterinary medicine. Pour-on formulations, where a medication is applied directly to the skin or fur, are especially popular because they’re easy to use and stress-free.

Lipid-based excipients for veterinary formulations Our specialties for veterinary applications are used for companion as well as for - farm animals in Injectables 
- SC and IM Infusions 
- IV Oral (e.g. paste, drench) 
- Pour-on / Spot-on formulations 
- Tick and flea collars

Since its first market introduction WITEPSOL® has become the synonym for hard fats and their use as drug delivery systems in ovules and suppositories. With this legacy comes great responsibility that the em ployees of IOI Oleo are aspiring to meet and exceed on a daily basis. 

Our brands – IMWITOR®️, MIGLYOL®️, SOFTIGEN®️, SOFTISAN®️, DYNASAN®️ and WITEPSOL®️ – stand for consistent quality, outstanding performance, and tangible benefits in the final formulation.
