Hydroxypropyl Betadex (Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin – HP-β-CD) is an advanced cyclodextrin derivative developed to address major challenges in modern formulation development, particularly for active ingredients with poor water solubility.
The molecular structure of Hydroxypropyl Betadex features a hydrophobic cavity and a hydrophilic outer surface. This unique property enables the excipient to encapsulate poorly soluble active ingredients within the cyclodextrin cavity, thereby enhancing apparent solubility, improving dispersion in aqueous environments, and increasing the absorption efficiency of the active ingredient.
Beyond its role as a solubility enhancement excipient, Hydroxypropyl Betadex also helps protect active ingredients from degradation factors such as oxidation, light, temperature, and moisture. This is particularly valuable for high-value and sensitive compounds, including anticancer agents, hormones, fat-soluble vitamins, biologics, retinoids, and natural bioactive ingredients.
Hydroxypropyl Betadex is manufactured by Gangwal Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. (India), a trusted pharmaceutical excipient manufacturer with strong expertise in cyclodextrin-based technologies and advanced formulation ingredients. Produced in accordance with stringent international quality standards, the product is designed to support pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications requiring superior solubility enhancement, formulation stability, and bioavailability improvement
