Description: Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC), an oral absorption promoter, serves as a potent delivery agent for oral heparin and insulin by enhancing passive transcellular permeation through small intestinal epithelia. This is achieved through its capability to increase lipophilicity via non-covalent macromolecule complexation.
