Enhance dissolution rate and lubrication with a single high performance excipient.

Parteck® PLX provides consistent performance, improved dissolution rate and reliable lubrication – all at the same time.

Development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is lengthy and cost-intensive, thus avoiding any potential risk that may limit the product’s success is of utmost importance. Today, many APIs are not being commercialized as they are poorly water soluble and, as a result, exhibit too low bioavailability.PLX, MXP, SLC, Meglumine

Absorption of molecules from the gastrointestinal tract is an essential consideration when developing orally delivered medications. Solubility, the concentration of drug in solution, is essential for this to occur and it is important to also consider the dissolution rate of the molecule. For DCS Class IIa molecules, defined as having a slow dissolution rate, simple yet effective formulations can be developed. Parteck® PLX 188 excipient should be considered for these challenging molecules to increase dissolution rate, provide hydrophilic lubrication, and enable simple and costeffective manufacturing processes.
