Glyceryl Monooleate, also known as Glycerol Monooleate (GMO) or Monoolein, is a lipid-based excipient and formulation ingredient derived from glycerol and oleic acid. It is widely recognized for its emulsifying, solubilizing, stabilizing, and lipid-matrix-forming properties.
Glyceryl Monooleate is particularly useful in pharmaceutical formulation development because of its amphiphilic nature. It can interact with both aqueous and lipid phases and is therefore used in selected lipid-based delivery systems, emulsions, topical formulations, and modified drug-delivery technologies.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Glyceryl Monooleate for pharmaceutical formulation, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and related applications, supporting bulk requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation developers, and industrial customers.
Glyceryl Monooleate is a monoglyceride of oleic acid (cis-9-octadecenoic acid). Commercial material can contain mono-, di-, and triglyceride fractions depending on the manufacturing process and grade.
Its amphiphilic structure allows Glyceryl Monooleate to form organized lipid structures under suitable conditions. This property makes it relevant to advanced pharmaceutical formulation systems, including lipid-based drug delivery.
Glyceryl Monooleate is generally supplied as a white to pale yellow or cream-colored waxy solid, semi-solid material, powder, flakes, or pellets, depending on grade and physical form.
Key characteristics include:
Lipid-Based Drug Delivery:
Glyceryl Monooleate is used in formulation development involving lipid-based delivery systems and structured lipid phases.
Emulsion Formulations:
It can function as an emulsifying or co-emulsifying ingredient in suitable pharmaceutical systems.
Topical Formulations:
Appropriate grades may be incorporated into creams, gels, lotions, and other semisolid formulations as a formulation and consistency aid.
Modified-Release Systems:
Its lipidic characteristics can be utilized in selected matrix and controlled-release formulation approaches.
Self-Emulsifying Formulation Development:
Glyceryl Monooleate can be investigated as a lipid component in self-emulsifying and related drug-delivery systems.
Nutraceutical Formulations:
Suitable grades may be used in nutritional and healthcare products requiring lipid-based formulation ingredients.
Quality control of Glyceryl Monooleate should be performed according to the applicable grade and approved specification.
Typical quality parameters may include:
Exact numerical specifications are grade-dependent and should be confirmed against the applicable approved specification and batch CoA.
