Co-solvents

Co-solvents are substances added to solutions of drugs that are poorly soluble or insoluble, which enhance their solubility. They address the issue of drugs being insoluble or having insufficient solubility in water, thereby affecting their therapeutic efficacy and failing to meet experimental requirements.
The degree of drug solubility is crucial for its bioavailability, making the enhancement of solubility a key aspect in the development and application of pharmaceutical formulations.
MCE provides a full range of co-solvent, Including cyclodextrins, oils, solvents, polymers, surfactants, and multi-component reagents, all with stringent endotoxin control to boost drug solubility and support our clients' research endeavors.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), meets analytical specification of Ch.P. is an aprotic solvent that dissolves polar and non-polar compounds, including water-insoluble therapeutic and toxic agents. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has a strong affinity for water and can rapidly penetrate or enhance the penetration of other substances into biological membranes. Dimethyl sulfoxide also has potential free radical scavenging and anticholinesterase effects and may affect coagulation activity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also induces histamine release from mast cells but is thought to have low systemic toxicity. Dimethyl sulfoxide also exhibits antifreeze and antibacterial properties.
MCE provides Dimethyl sulfoxide that complies with the inspection standards (Ch.P) of Part 4 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition). Amicrobic, low endotoxin, can be used in various biochemical experiments such as drug dissolution.
