Mannitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes. It is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste and is known for its ability to act as an osmotic diuretic. Mannitol finds applications in pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties, including solubility, stability, and low toxicity.

Sugars and Polyols of Natural Origin as Carriers for Solubility and Dissolution Enhancement
Abstract
Crystalline carriers such as dextrose, sucrose, galactose, mannitol, sorbitol, and isomalt have been reported to increase the solubility, and dissolution rates of poorly soluble drugs when employed as carriers in solid dispersions (SDs). However, synthetic polymers dominate the preparation…
