Gelucire® 59/14, solid surfactant for oral bioavailability enhancement

Discover Gelucire® 59/14, an add-on in Gattefossé Gelucire® range, for oral bioavailability enhancement

Gelucire® 59/14 is a self-emulsifying excipient used for oral bioavailability enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs, owing to its high solubilizing capacity. Gelucire® 59/14 is supplied in pellets, which makes it easy to handle and an interesting add-on to our Gelucire® range. 

Gelucire® 59/14 is a self-emulsifying system: upon contact with aqueous or digestive media it spontaneously forms a fine dispersion.  The different components self-assemble as a function of their affinity for water, resulting in the formation of micelles, wherein the drug is solubilized. This mechanism contributes to an increased absorption and hence bioavailabiity of drugs.
