Description

Dioctyl succinate is a fatty acid ester that is used as an absorption enhancer. It has been shown to be safe in clinical trials and is not associated with any significant toxicity. Dioctyl succinate enhances the absorption of drugs by increasing the lipid content in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby promoting better absorption. This compound also increases drug solubility and reduces gastrointestinal irritation. Dioctyl succinate is amphiphilic, which means that it can act as a cationic surfactant to enhance the solubility of drugs in water. The hydroxyl group on dioctyl succinate interacts with potassium dichromate, which results in the formation of potassium ethylene diamine (KED). KED has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on human erythrocytes and can induce hemolysis when administered to rats at high doses.
