Product Description
Pamoic Acid is a dicarboxylic acid derivative of naphthoic acid, primarily used as a counterion to form pharmaceutically stable pamoate salts. These salts enhance the stability, bioavailability, and controlled-release properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It appears as a yellow to tan powder and is commonly used in the formulation of long-acting drug products such as antimalarials, antihistamines, and antipsychotics.
