Description

Application

Tetraglycol has been used:

• to dilute DiI (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate) for injecting fertilized chicken eggs for DiI labeling
• to dilute DiI (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate) and diO (3,3′-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate) for dye/virus injections
• to dilute poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) to prepare PLGA/F127 solution

Used as solvent to dissolve water-insoluble compounds.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Liquid glycofurol can readily transform into gel systems with excellent elasticity due to which, it can be used as a medium to dissolve water-insoluble drugs.

Features and Benefits

Efficient solubilizer for glibenclamide (GBD)
