Introduction:Basic information about CAS 26266-57-9|Span 40, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Sorbitan monopalmitate is used for niosomes particle preparation. Sorbitan monopalmitate can be used as an excipient, such as nonionic surfactants, emulsifiers. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs[1][2].
