Pharmaceutical Excipients

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC 101)

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a high-purity pharmaceutical excipient derived from wood pulp. MCC 101 is the standard and most widely used grade globally as a Diluent (Filler) and Dry Binder in tablet and capsule manufacturing. It is characterized by very high compressibility and good flow properties, making it the preferred choice for the Direct Compression process, where it forms strong tablets at relatively low compression rates.

The product conforms to the specified requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
A detailed CoA is issued with every batch, outlining potency, purity profile, and microbiological testing verification.
A comprehensive Drug Master File is available to support registration submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide.
Production takes place in certified facilities that strictly adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
Functional Class:
Diluent (Filler), Binder, Disintegrant (at higher doses).
Chemical Structure:
Pure cellulose $\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}\text{O}_5)_n$
Mechanism of Action:
As a Binder : Functions via mechanical interlocking and plastic deformation under pressure, yielding tablets with high hardness..
As a Disintegrant : Absorbs water and swells, contributing to the breakup of the tablet..
Optimal Use (101):
Grade 101 (approx. 50 $\mu \text{m}$ particle size) is the standard grade that achieves the optimal balance between flowability and compressibility.
Direct Compression (DC)

Fast-release tablets and moisture-sensitive formulations.

Exceptional compressibility allows for tablet manufacturing without the need for wet granulation.

Hard Capsules

Powder filling into capsules.

Acts as a flow enhancer and inert filler, ensuring dose uniformity.

Wet Granulation

As a stabilizer and granule fortifier.

Contributes to tablet hardness even after granulation, and reduces granule friability.

Regulatory Compliance

The product fully complies with the requirements specified in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or other relevant standards.

Viscosity and Particle Size

trict control over solution viscosity (for quality assurance) and the Particle Size Distribution (50 $\mu \text{m}$) to ensure consistent performance in compressibility and flow..

Moisture Content)

Accurate determination of the moisture content to ensure stability and reliable compression properties.

Manufacturing Operations

Production is conducted in a rigorous cGMP environment, ensuring consistency in physical properties.
