Product description
D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (Vitamin E TPGS,
or simply TPGS) is a water-soluble derivative of natural Vitamin E,
formed by esterification of Vitamin E succinate with polyethylene glycol
(PEG).
It has the advantages of PEG and Vitamin E in applying
various nanocarriers for drug delivery, including extending the drug’s
half-life in plasma and enhancing the cellular uptake of the drug. TPGS
has an amphiphilic structure of lipophilic alkyl tail and hydrophilic
polar head with a hydrophile/lipophile balance (HLB) value of 13.2 and a
relatively low critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.02% w/w, which
make it to be an ideal molecular biomaterial in developing various drug
delivery systems
+ Natural Vitamin E TPGS
+ Non-GMO, IP certified
Application:
+ Nutritional supplements provide a water-soluble source of vitamin E or poorly soluble nutraceuticals in a liquid dosage form;
+ Emulsifier to improve drug solubility, permeability, safety, and bioavailability.
CAS NO.:9002-96-4
