Description

Maltodextrin, dextrose equivalent 5.0-8.0 can be used as an excipient. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs[1].

In Vitro

Maltodextrin, dextrose equivalent 5.0-8.0 is a polysaccharide with good biocompatibility and drug encapsulation ability, that encapsulates BSA as a model protein with an efficiency of about 70% and a loading rate of up to 20%. Maltodextrin, dextrose equivalent 5.0-8.0 exhibits non-toxic to cells at a concentrations of 5 mg/mL, and can be used in drug delivery system. The glucose equivalent (DE) value reflects the degree of hydrolysis of maltodextrin. The higher the DE value, the higher the degree of hydrolysis is. Maltodextrin, dextrose equivalent 5.0-8.0 forms stable nanoparticles with particle sizes ranging from 170 nm to 450 nm and a narrow particle size distribution[2].
