サルカプロザートナトリウム

説明Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC) is the sodium salt form of salcaprozate, an oral absorption promoter. Salcaprozate sodium may be used as a delivery agent to promote the oral absorption of certain macromolecules with poor bioavailability such as insulin and heparin.It is also used as an excipient in drug formulation as a chemical permeation enhancer (PE) to aid the oral absorption of macromolecules, peptides and proteins such as insulin (diabetes), heparin (heart attacks and angina) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12 deficiency and anaemia) which would otherwise have poor bioavailability. SNAC is considered to be safe for human consumption (GRAS) by the FDA.

使用Salcaprozate Sodium is a drug excipient or inactive ingredient in drug formulations.

定義Salcaprozate Sodium (SNAC) is a synthetic N-acetylated amino-acid derivative of salicylic acid. SNAC is a weak acid that display amphiphilicity and surface activity. It was discovered as part of a screen to identify carrier-based PEs that could “chaperone” poorly permeable payloads across the intestine. This compound is the most extensively tested carrier and the only PE approved in an oral formulation designed to improve oral BA, albeit with a small molecule, cyanocobalamin/SNAC. In other preclinical studies, it also improved intestinal permeation of peptides (salmon calcitonin (sCT) and insulin), along with poorly permeable small molecules (e.g., cromolyn). SNAC was tested in many formats: taste-masked liquids, tablets, and soft gelatin capsules. Similar to C10, SNAC can be blended with the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) using conventional processes, which makes manufacturing uncoated oral tablet dosage forms economic and relatively easy to scale[1].
