Description

Succinoglycan

Succinoglycan is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble polysaccharide used in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and industrial applications for its exceptional rheological, stabilizing, and biocompatible properties. Produced by fermentation of Agrobacterium species, it forms stable, viscous solutions with pseudoplastic flow behavior, making it ideal for controlled-release systems, topical formulations, and drug delivery matrices. Succinoglycan
• Is a water-soluble, high-viscosity polysaccharide for pharmaceutical and biomedical use
• Functions as a stabilizer, thickener, and bioactive matrix polymer
• Provides shear-thinning and pH-tolerant rheological behavior
• Is suitable for oral, topical, ophthalmic, and parenteral formulations
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Succinoglycan is composed of repeating octasaccharide units containing Glucose, Galactose, Pyruvate and Succinate residues. It appears as a white to off-white powder that disperses readily in water to form clear or slightly opaque gels with excellent stability across a wide pH range.
In pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, Succinoglycan is used in:
• Controlled-release oral and parenteral drug delivery systems
• Topical and ophthalmic gels requiring stable, biocompatible viscosity
• Tissue engineering scaffolds and wound healing matrices
• Rheology modification in creams, suspensions, and emulsions
• Research applications in biofilm formation and polymeric hydrogel studies
Succinoglycan exhibits outstanding compatibility with other natural and synthetic polymers and enhances formulation texture and performance. Its shear-thinning behavior allows easy application while maintaining product stability at rest.
CarboMer supplies Succinoglycan with control over molecular weight, viscosity, purity, and microbial content. The material is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, biomedical, and cosmetic development.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation, including CoA and SDS, are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, NMR), molecular weight distribution, viscosity, pH, loss on drying, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer polysaccharide excipients and functional biopolymers, Succinoglycan is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and high-performance product applications.
