Soya Lecithin

Soya Lecithin is a phospholipid mixture that can be used as a drug delivery vehicle and is a pharmaceutical excipient. Soya Lecithin can form a lipid bilayer structure through self-assembly, and its binding properties are amphiphilic (hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail), encapsulating hydrophobic drugs. Soya Lecithin forms stable nanoliposomes or microemulsions, improves the solubility and cellular uptake efficiency of poorly soluble drugs (such as Curcumin (HY-N0005) ), and exerts activities such as enhancing drug delivery and regulating cell proliferation[1][2].
