Product Information

Product Number: L052007A

English Name: D-Lactose monohydrate

English Alias: (3R,4R,5S,6R)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(((2S,3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,3,4-triol hydrate

CAS Number: None

Molecular Formula: C??H??O??·H?O

Molecular Weight: 360.32

Advantages

High stability and crystallinity, ensuring stable physical properties (such as fluidity and compressibility) when used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical field;

Purity meeting pharmacopoeia standards, suitable for injectables, oral preparations, etc., with strict excipient quality requirements;

The monohydrate structure can regulate drug release rate, and its low hygroscopicity reduces the impact of moisture during preparation storage.

Applications

Pharmaceutical Excipients: As a diluent or binder for tablets and capsules, or as a carrier for lyophilized powder injections to improve drug processing performance;

Microbiological Culture Media: Providing a carbon source for bacteria, fungi, etc., commonly used in biopharmaceutical production and laboratory research;

Food Industry: Added as a sweetener or stabilizer to dairy products and baked goods to enhance taste and shelf life;

Analytical Reference Standard: Used for detecting the purity and moisture content of lactose-related products by methods such as HPLC.

Background Description

Research Status

Crystal Form Optimization: Preparing specific crystal forms of lactose monohydrate by controlling crystallization conditions (such as temperature, pH value) to improve its fluidity and compressibility;

Hypoallergenic Research: Developing low-lactose or lactose-free excipient alternatives for lactose-intolerant populations;

Analytical Method Improvement: Using rapid detection technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to achieve real-time quality monitoring of lactose monohydrate;

Biodegradability: Exploring the degradation pathway of lactose monohydrate in the environment to provide a basis for the development of environmentally friendly excipients.
