INTRODUCTION
Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is a very fine free flowing powder that is white or off white in color and has almost no odor. Its property of insolubility is remarkable, with complete insolubility in most organic solvents, and even in water. It is a sodium salt of carboxyl ether of starch and is appreciated for its stability and binding properties.
MANUFACTURE
It is manufactured by chemical modification of starch, i.e., carboxymethylation to enhance hydrophilicity and cross-linking to reduce solubility.

Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture, along with its viscoelastic and biocompatible properties, making it highly valuable across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomedical applications.
Pyrazinamide is a first-line antitubercular drug used in combination therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). It is a synthetic pyrazine derivative and acts as a prodrug, which is converted into its active form (pyrazinoic acid) inside Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
6-Bromopyridine-2,3-diamine is a heterocyclic organic compound belonging to the class of substituted pyridines. It is used mainly as an intermediate in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Magnesium trisilicate is an inorganic compound commonly used in pharmaceutical and gastrointestinal (GI) preparations due to its dual action. It is usually produced as a white, odorless, fine powder. It helps bind toxins or irritants in the gastrointestinal tract and occasionally used in formulations for its stabilizing properties.
Choline salicylate is a salicylate salt formed from choline and salicylic acid. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID-type compound) mainly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and mild antiseptic properties. Unlike acetylated salicylates, it is less irritating to the gastric mucosa and is commonly used in topical oral preparations such as gels and mouth paints.
TensyraTM N-10 (Octoxinol 10; tert-octyl phenyl ethoxylate) is a non-ionic surfactant known for its excellent solubilizing and membrane-permeabilizing properties. It features a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain paired with a lipophilic aromatic hydrocarbon group.It readily breaks down biological membranes to lyse cells, solubilize proteins, and permeabilize cell membranes for assays.
