Crystallization inhibitor and its use in gelatin capsules

摘要

The present invention describes soft gelatin capsules that encapsulate a water-insoluble active ingredient and an excipient composed of a crystallization inhibitor that stabilizes the water-insoluble inhibitor. The crystallization inhibitor being at least one mononacylglycerol compound whose acyl group is a fatty acid residue of 6-18 carbon atoms. The capsule contents are more resistant to turbidity, forming a coarse emulsion, and crystallization of the active ingredient compared with compositions absent the crystallization inhibitor.
