Molecular Formula

Biological Activity

Hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) is a non-ionic cellulose ether widely utilized as a polymer matrix in controlled-release drug delivery formulations. Upon hydration, hypromellose forms a viscous gel barrier that modulates water penetration and drug diffusion. This swelling and gelation process provides sustained drug release profiles, thereby prolonging therapeutic efficacy and improving pharmaceutical stability in hydrophilic matrix systems. [1]
