Product Description
Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate (Solutol HS 15; poly-oxyethylene esters of 12-hydroxystearic acid) is a novel non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier used as a solubilizer in formulation of compounds with low water solubility. Essentially, it is used to enhance the water/aqueous solubility of Class 2 and 4 [Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS)] lipophilic molecules. It can also increase the permeability of medium sized biological molecules/drugs across epithelia.
Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate (Macrogol 15 hydroxystearate, Solutol HS 15, CAS 70142-34-6) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier used as a solubilizer in the formulation of compounds with low water solubility. It is obtained by reacting about 15 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of 12-hydroxystearic acid. The product consists mainly of 12-hydroxystearic acid polyethoxylated at both the carboxyl and the hydroxyl groups with polyethylene glycol. It is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant excipient.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Surfactant; emulsifier; solubilizer
Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate does not have a specific pharmacological target, as it is a pharmaceutical excipient rather than a therapeutic agent. Its primary function is as a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier that solubilizes poorly water-soluble compounds. By forming micelles, it enhances the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. It is used in pharmaceutical formulations to improve drug delivery and absorption.
ln Vitro
This work initially confirms surfactant-like behaviour of Solutol® HS15 in aqueous media, while subsequent experiments demonstrate that the effect of Solutol® HS15 on epithelial tight junctions is different from a 'classical' tight junction opening agent and illustrate the effect of Solutol® HS15 on the cell membrane (endocytosis rate) and F-actin cytoskeleton. Conclusion: Solutol® HS15 is the principle component of CriticalSorb™ that has shown an enhancement in permeability of medium sized biological drugs across epithelia. This study suggests that its mechanism of action arises primarily from effects on the cell membrane and consequent impacts on the cell cytoskeleton in terms of actin organisation and tight junction opening[1].
In vitro, Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate is used as a solubilizing agent in formulation development. It enhances the solubility of poorly water-soluble compounds in aqueous media. The compound's surfactant properties are evaluated using critical micelle concentration (CMC) measurements and solubilization studies. It is tested for compatibility with various drugs and formulation components. These in vitro activities support its use in pharmaceutical formulation development.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate is used as a pharmaceutical excipient in various drug formulations. It enhances the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs by improving their solubilization and absorption. The compound is generally regarded as relatively nontoxic and nonirritant and is reported not to be mutagenic in bacteria, mammalian cell cultures, and mammals. Its safety and efficacy as an excipient have been established through extensive use in pharmaceutical products.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate are primarily focused on its physicochemical properties rather than enzyme/receptor binding. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is measured using surface tension or fluorescence methods. Solubilization capacity is assessed by measuring the solubility of model hydrophobic compounds. Compatibility studies are conducted with various drugs using HPLC or DSC. All assays include appropriate controls and reference standards.
Cell Assay
Micelle size and CMC of Solutol® HS15 were determined in biologically relevant media. Polarised airway Calu-3 cell layers were used to measure the permeability of a panel of biological drugs, and to assess changes in TEER, tight junction and F-actin morphology. The rate of cell endocytosis was measured in vitro in the presence of Solutol® HS15 using a membrane probe, FM 2-10[1].
In vitro cell-based assays for Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate are conducted to assess its safety as an excipient. Cell lines are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.001-10% for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. Membrane integrity is assessed using LDH release assays. Permeability studies are conducted using Caco-2 cell monolayers. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls (e.g., known cytotoxic agents).
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate are conducted as part of safety and toxicology evaluations for pharmaceutical excipients. The compound is administered via oral, intravenous, or topical routes at various doses. Toxicity, irritation, and sensitization potential are evaluated. Pharmacokinetic studies assess absorption and elimination. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with appropriate controls. Data are analyzed using standard statistical methods.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate depend on the route of administration and the formulation. As a nonionic surfactant, it is minimally absorbed following oral administration. When used in parenteral formulations, it is distributed and eliminated through metabolic and excretory pathways. The compound is generally regarded as safe and is not expected to accumulate in tissues. Detailed PK parameters are available from excipient safety studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate indicate that it is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant excipient. It is reported not to be mutagenic in bacteria, mammalian cell cultures, and mammals. No significant toxicity has been reported at concentrations used in pharmaceutical formulations. Comprehensive toxicological studies have been conducted as part of its safety evaluation for pharmaceutical use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
