CAVAMAX W8 Pharma

Description

CAVAMAX* native cyclodextrins have the ability to act as molecular containers by entrapping molecules in their internal cavities. The resulting inclusion complexes are used many applications: to increase water solubility of poorly soluble drugs to improve bioavailability, to taste mask bitter actives for use in chewable and orally disintegrating tablet applications, to stabilize drug actives to inhibit light and oxidative degradation.

*registered trademarks owned by Wacker Chemie AG. Ashland Inc. acts as a worldwide distributor for Wacker.

Purification of the cyclodextrins to remove endotoxins allows their use for solubilization of drugs for injectable drug products: see Cavitron
