Magnesium stearate

Description:

Magnesium stearate is a white, powdery substance that is the magnesium salt of stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. It is commonly used as a lubricant and anti-caking agent in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as in cosmetics and personal care products. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic properties, which help to prevent clumping and improve the flow of powders. Magnesium stearate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and chloroform. It has a relatively low melting point and can decompose upon heating. Additionally, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in food and pharmaceutical applications, although excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal issues. Its ability to enhance the stability and consistency of formulations makes it a valuable ingredient in various products. Overall, magnesium stearate plays a crucial role in improving the performance and quality of numerous formulations across different industries.

Magnesium stearate

CAS: 557-04-0

Magnesium stearate is an excipient that is used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is a white, non-hygroscopic, free-flowing powder that is insoluble in water. Magnesium stearate has been shown to inhibit the activity of dapagliflozin, an oral anti-diabetic drug, by complexing with the active form of the drug and inhibiting it from binding to its receptor. Magnesium stearate has also been shown to have no adverse effects on renal function or autoimmune diseases when administered in doses up to 500 mg/day for 6 months.
