Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose derived from natural plant sources through acid hydrolysis. It is widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient due to its excellent compressibility, flowability, and biocompatibility. MCC serves as a multifunctional additive in oral solid dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and granules, where it enhances formulation stability, drug release, and patient compliance.

(1) Direct Compression Tablets‌

Acts as a primary diluent and binder in formulations where drugs are sensitive to moisture or heat .

(2) Wet Granulation Binder‌

Serves as a dry binder in wet granulation processes, reducing the need for liquid binders.

(3) Disintegrant (Mild)‌

Facilitates rapid tablet breakup in the stomach or intestine, though less potent than superdisintegrants.

(4) Capsule Filler‌

Acts as a bulking agent in hard or soft gelatin capsules, ensuring consistent fill weight and content uniformity.

(5) Chewable Tablets‌

Enhances texture and mouthfeel, masking bitter tastes of APIs.

(6) Coating Carrier‌

Serves as a substrate for film-coating suspensions, improving adhesion and reducing coating defects.
