CAS#: 203787-91-1 (sodium)

Description: Salcaprozate sodium, also known as SNAC, is an intestinal permeation enhancer (PE). It can be used as a delivery agent to promote the oral absorption of certain macromolecules with poor bioavailability such as insulin and heparin. SNAC has been applied in the development of the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide (RYBELSUS) approved in 2017. SNAC increases passive transcellular permeation across the small intestinal epithelia based on noncovalent macromolecule complexation and is associated with a pH-elevating, monomer-inducing, and pepsin-inhibiting effect in the stomach.
