Description

General description

Isopropyl myristate is a fatty acid ester that is used in biologic formulations primarily as a solvent and penetration enhancer. It is instrumental in improving the absorption and bioavailability of poorly soluble biologic compounds. Its inclusion in transdermal formulations aids in the delivery of drugs across biological membranes, making it a valuable component in the development of biologics for topical administration.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
