PHARMATRANS SANAQ - Excipients and Active Ingredients

PHARMATRANS SANAQ specializes in excipients and active ingredients for pharmaceuticals. As a partner for the pharmaceutical industry, we have been working in this field for over 20 years. Our aim is to provide the industry with customised products and solutions. We continuously search and develop new excipients, or better forms of existing excipients, based on the needs of our partners in the industry.

MCC SANAQ® - MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE (PH. EUR / USP-NF)

Microcrystalline cellulose MCC SANAQ is a purified and partially depolymerised a-cellulose widely used as filler, binder and granulation aid for tablets, granules and in capsules. Different types for wet granulation, dry granulation and direct compression are available - MCC SANAQ 101L, 102L, 200L, 301L, 302L.

MCC SANAQ UL-002 is a highly compactible binder. Thanks to its low bulk density and different particle shape, the compactablity is significantly enhanced compared to standard MCC types. This leads to lower compression forces in case of pressure sensitive formulations and higher drug loading (or smaller sized tablets with the same drug loading) thanks to the reduction of excipient.

CELLETS® - MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE PELLETS

CELLETS are pellets made of microcrystalline cellulose. As inert carriers, CELLETS are mainly used for controlled release formulations and for innovative drug delivery, already being available from 100μm. The product characteristics lead to a reproducible and reliable production process.

The advantages of CELLETS include:

• The wide range of particle size fractions with uniform spherical shape and structure (100μm – 1,400μm)
• Narrow particle size distribution within each fraction
• Formulation of sensitive actives, due to the inertness of MCC
• High abrasion resistance, which improves the coating process
• Excellent compactability, due to the high plasticity of the CELLETS, for formulation of multidosage tablets
• Higher payload permits smaller capsule sizes

The product portfolio also includes:

SSG SANAQ, sodium starch glycolate (Ph. Eur. / USP-NF) – disintegrant for tablets, capsules and granules.

CROSCARMELLOSE SANAQ, carboxmethylcellulose sodium (Ph. Eur. / USP-NF) – super disintegrant for tablets, capsules and granules.

MANNITOL SANAQ – DC, mannitol-PVP granules (Ph. Eur. / USP-NF) – a novel coprocessed free flowing granular for direct compression.

SUGAR SPHERES SANAQ, sugar non-pareils (Ph. Eur. / USP-NF) – neutral starter cores for the production of controlled release formulations or for direct compression to ensure the content uniformity of low dosage API in tablets.

BALOCEL SANAQ, (Ph. Eur. / USP-NF) – optimized powder premix for the production of active pellets and granules.

ULTRAFLOW SANAQ, dibasic calcium anhydrous – for the flowability improvement, also be used as a capsule filler or tablet lubricant.
