Characteristic

Certain API show pH dependent solubilty which can be a hurdle in the fomulation of extended release dosage foms.; TAP acts as a pH modifier for substances (weakly basic drugs) with a poor solubility in higher pH that occur in the lower GIT.; TAP enhances the solublity in this environment.
