Gelucire® 59/14, solid surfactant for oral bioavailability enhancement
Discover Gelucire® 59/14, an add-on in Gattefossé Gelucire® range, for oral bioavailability enhancement
Gattefossé widens its range of functional excipients for oral bioavailability enhancement with a new grade of Gelucire®: Gelucire® 59/14, a mixture of lauroyl PEG-32 glycerides EP/NF and PEG 6000 EP/NF.
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.
