Palatinit a member of the Südzucker
Group is introducing the new multifunctional
sugar-free excipient under the brand name
galenIQ™. It offers the combined advantages of other
well-known bulk excipients and will facilitate
pharmaceutical development and formulation.
Chemically, galenIQ™ is based on
hydrogenated isomaltulose (HI), it is a
disaccharide alcohol and belongs to the group
of polyols.
galenIQ™ is exclusively derived from sucrose
in a two-stage production
process and is a white, odorless, water soluble,
crystalline substance that complies with the isomalt
monographs of the current Ph Eur, BP and
USP29-NF24.
Through an additional process a range
of galenIQ™ qualities are obtained that are tailor-made
for specific pharmaceutical applications.
Combining benefits of other
bulk excipients
galenIQ™ provides the benefits of excipients like
mannitol, sorbitol, lactose or microcrystalline
cellulose and even goes beyond:
- Very low hygroscopic
- Flexibility in
solubility grades
- Excellent stability
against chemical changes
- Very well compatible
with active ingredients
- Highly resistant to
degradation by enzymes and acids
