Generic: Isomannide
Isomannide is a chemical compound, a diol derived from mannitol, used in the production of various polymers, particularly polycarbonates and polyesters. It imparts desirable properties like improved heat resistance, transparency, and biodegradability to these materials. While not directly a pharmaceutical itself, it serves as a building block in some drug delivery systems and medical devices.
Used as a monomer in the production of polymers for various applications, including some medical devices and drug delivery systems.
Most likely new formulation: Novel biodegradable polymers incorporating Isomannide derivatives for specialized medical applications (2025, 70% confidence)
Due to its increasing use in biodegradable plastics, regulatory scrutiny regarding its environmental impact and potential human exposure is likely to increase in the coming years.
