Shin hypromellose na halitta ne?

Hypromellose, wanda kuma aka sani da hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), polymer semisynthetic ne wanda aka samo daga cellulose, polymer na halitta wanda aka samo a cikin ganuwar tantanin halitta. Duk da yake cellulose kanta na halitta ne, tsarin gyara shi don ƙirƙirar hypromellose ya ƙunshi halayen sinadarai, yin hypromellose wani fili na semisynthetic.

Samar da hypromellose ya ƙunshi maganin cellulose tare da propylene oxide da methyl chloride don gabatar da hydroxypropyl da kungiyoyin methyl akan kashin bayan cellulose. Wannan gyare-gyare yana canza kaddarorin cellulose, yana ba da hypromellose halayensa na musamman kamar ruwa mai narkewa, ikon yin fim, da danko.

Duk da yake ba a samo hypromellose kai tsaye a cikin yanayi ba, an samo shi daga asalin halitta (cellulose) kuma an dauke shi biocompatible da biodegradable. Ana amfani da shi sosai a cikin magunguna, samfuran abinci, kayan kwalliya, da aikace-aikacen masana'antu daban-daban saboda amincin sa, haɓakawa, da aiki.

A taƙaice, yayin da hypromellose wani fili ne na semisynthetic, asalinsa daga cellulose, polymer na halitta, da haɓakarsa ya sa ya zama sinadari mai karɓuwa a aikace-aikace daban-daban.
