Description

Glycofurol (Tetraglycol) is a hydrophilic, water-miscible cosolvent and absorption enhancer with skin tolerance. Glycofurol can be used as a carrier-based gel for the topical delivery of drugs, including water-insoluble drugs. Glycofurol can form gels with bioadhesiveness, spreadability and suitable viscosity for topical administration[1].

In Vitro

Glycofurol is an excellent carrier suitable for the percutaneous/transdermal local delivery of drugs, and the gel formulation optimized based on Glycofurol supports safe local drug delivery[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
