Hydroxypropyl Cellulose
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Hydroxypropyl Cellulose is an orally active cellulose ether and surfactant. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is divided into high-substituted HPC (HHPC) and low-substituted HPC (LHPC). Hydroxypropyl Cellulose reduces inflammatory mediators (IL-6, IL-1β). Hydroxypropyl Cellulose improves colitis and obesity. Hydroxypropyl Cellulose can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient, such as coating agent, emulsifier, suspension, tablet, thickener, viscosifier.

Biological Activity
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HHPC; 12.5-1600 μg/mL; 24 h) promotes the growth of RAW 264.7 cells and inhibits inflammation[3].

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (6% in diet; p.o.; 5 weeks) ameliorates the effects of a high-fat diet on intestinal permeability, insulin resistance, hepatic lipid accumulation, glucocorticoid related bile acid recycling, oxidative stress, and weight gain in DIO mice[4].
