General description

Brij® S20 is a surfactant that belongs to the class of polyoxyethylene ethers. It is majorly used in pharmaceutical applications to improve the solubility of the drugs. It can also be grafted on a variety of surfaces to enhance the intracellular uptake of dyes.

Application


  • Nanostructured lipid carriers for oral delivery of silymarin: Improving its absorption and in vivo efficacy in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome model.: This study utilizes Brij® S20 to develop nanostructured lipid carriers for oral delivery of silymarin. The findings demonstrate enhanced absorption and efficacy of silymarin in treating type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the potential of Brij® S20 in improving drug delivery systems. (Piazzini et al., 2019).

  • Water-stable all-biodegradable microparticles in nanofibers by electrospinning of aqueous dispersions for biotechnical plant protection.: The study uses Brij® S20 to create water-stable, biodegradable microparticles in nanofibers through electrospinning. These microparticles are designed for biotechnical plant protection, demonstrating the potential of Brij® S20 in agricultural biotechnology. (Bansal et al., 2012).
