Unveiling the Potential of Labrasol® ALF Labrafac™ MC60 and Capryol® 90 as Permeation Enhancers to Address Low Bioavailability Issues

In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo tests show that Labrasol® ALF, Labrafac™ MC60, and Capryol® 90 are effective and safe permeation enhancers. They work by temporarily opening tight junctions in the intestinal lining, potentially improving the bioavailability of poorly permeable drugs, including small molecules (BCS III and IV) and large molecules like peptides and proteins.

In this article, demonstration on how Labrafac™ MC60 acts as a safe intestinal permeation enhancer is given, with insulin as a model molecule. Studies were conducted in vivo and ex vivo, using isolated muscle-stripped rat jejunal and colonic mucosae.
