Application

Ethyl Oleate, NF serves as a versatile component in various pharmaceutical and industrial applications. This nearly colorless to pale yellow oily liquid is primarily composed of esters derived from the condensation of oleic acid and ethanol. It is commonly utilized as a solvent for lipophilic substances, including steroids, due to its effective solubilizing properties and favorable absorption characteristics compared to fixed oils. In pharmaceuticals, Ethyl Oleate acts as a vehicle in parenteral preparations, facilitating intramuscular administration, as well as in biodegradable drug formulations and drug delivery systems like self-microemulsifying systems. Its utility extends to use in topical gels, ocular delivery formulations, and liver-targeted therapies. Moreover, it is employed as a lubricant and a plasticizer and is approved as a food additive by the FDA under specific regulations. Despite its widespread application, caution is advised in its use as there is insufficient evidence regarding its safety during pregnancy.
