Salcaprozate Sodium

Detailed Information

8-(2-Hydroxybenzamido)octanoic acid sodium salt, abbreviated as SNAC, is an absorption enhancer for dicarbonyl phosphate compounds. It is used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, particularly those caused by malabsorption of dicarbonyl phosphate compounds in the gastrointestinal tract.

Salcaprozate Sodium (also known historically as SNAC) is a synthetic, non-toxic, medium-chain fatty acid derivative that functions as an absorption enhancer or permeation enhancer. Its primary and most notable action is to significantly improve the oral bioavailability of pharmaceutical drugs that would otherwise be poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
