Chemical Structure:
Salcaprozate Sodium Application:
Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC) is an excipient used to enhance drug absorption, particularly for poorly absorbed drugs. Key applications include:
- Drug Delivery Enhancement
- Improves oral bioavailability of drugs with low solubility or permeability.
- Enhances absorption of peptides and proteins, which are typically hard to deliver orally.
- Formulation Use
- Added to tablets and capsules to improve drug dissolution and absorption.
- Used in combination with other excipients for optimized drug delivery.
- Example: Semaglutide
- SNAC is used in oral semaglutide (e.g., Rybelsus) to enable stomach absorption, making it the first oral GLP-1 agonist for type 2 diabetes.
- Mechanism
- Temporarily increases gastric mucosa permeability without altering stomach pH or enzymes.
