What is GLYCOFUROL?
Chemical properties
Glycofurol is a clear, colorless, almost odorless liquid, with a bitter taste; it produces a warm sensation on the tongue.
The Uses of GLYCOFUROL
Glycofurol is used as a carrier device for drug delivery.
The Uses of GLYCOFUROL
Used as solvent to dissolve water-insoluble compounds.
What are the applications of Application
Tetraglycol is a solvent used to dissolve water-insoluble compounds
Production Methods
Glycofurol is prepared by the reaction of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol with ethylene oxide (followed by a special purification process in the case of Glycofurol 75).
Pharmaceutical Applications
Glycofurol is used as a solvent in parenteral products for intravenous or intramuscular injection in concentrations up to 50% v/v. It has also been investigated, mainly in animal studies, for use as a penetration enhancer and solvent in topical and intranasal formulations. Glycofurol has also been used at 20% v/v concentration in a rectal formulation.
Safety
Glycofurol is mainly used as a solvent in parenteral pharmaceutical
formulations and is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and
nonirritant material at the levels used as a pharmaceutical excipient.
Glycofurol can be irritant when used undiluted; its tolerability is
approximately the same as propylene glycol.
Glycofurol may have an effect on liver function and may have a
low potential for interaction with hepatoxins or those materials
undergong extensive hepatic metabolism.
LD50 (mouse, IV): 3.5 mL/kg
storage
Stable if stored under nitrogen in a well-closed container protected from light, in a cool, dry place.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
Regulatory Status
Included in parenteral medicines licensed in Europe.
