GLYCERINE

GLYCERINE BP is a clear, colorless, odorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid; it has a sweet taste, approximately 0.6 times as sweet as sucrose. Glycerin is used primarily for its humectant and emollient properties. Glycerin is used as a solvent or cosolvent in creams and emulsions. Glycerin is additionally used in aqueous and nonaqueous gels and also as an additive in patch applications. In parenteral formulations, glycerin is used mainly as a solvent and cosolvent. In oral solutions, glycerin is used as a solvent, sweetening agent, antimicrobial preservative, and viscosity-increasing agent. It is also used as a plasticizer and in film coatings. Glycerin is used as a plasticizer of gelatin in the production of soft-gelatin capsules and gelatin suppositories. Glycerin is employed as a therapeutic agent in a variety of clinical applications, and is also used as a food additive.

medEctoin®

Product Overview

medEctoin® is a natural, cell-protective molecule derived from extremophilic microorganisms. It belongs to the class of cyclic amino acid derivatives (extremolytes) and is produced via biotechnological fermentation to pharmaceutical-grade quality.

medEctoin® is widely used in pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products, particularly in formulations such as nasal sprays, eye drops, and topical applications.

Mode of Action

medEctoin® has a purely physical, non-pharmacological mode of action.

It forms a protective hydration shell (medEctoin® Hydro-Complex) around biological membranes by binding water molecules. This stabilizes cellular structures, preserves membrane integrity, and protects tissues against environmental and inflammatory stress.

Physical form: White crystalline solid (highly water-soluble)

Function

Cell-protective osmolyte
Membrane stabilizer
Hydration and barrier-support agent
Anti-inflammatory support (physical mechanism)

Applications

medEctoin® is commonly used in:

Ophthalmology (e.g., dry eye disease)
Allergy & Respiratory (e.g., nasal sprays, rhinitis)
Dermatology (e.g., irritated or inflamed skin)
Women’s Health (e.g., vaginal dryness, mucosal care)

Clinical studies demonstrate efficacy in reducing inflammation, improving hydration, and supporting tissue regeneration across these areas.
