Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), K17 is a polymer with average molecular weight 10,000. It is a very common excipient used as a binder in granulate formulations.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a water soluble polymer that is used for a variety of applications, including as an ingredient in analytical methods, biological properties and reactions. Polyvinylpyrrolidone has been shown to be a potential biomarker for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This polymer is also biocompatible and can be used as an implantable material. Polyvinylpyrrolidone can also be used in laser ablation techniques to remove unwanted tissue from the body.

Applications Crospovidone is a drug excipient or inactive ingredient in drug formulations, specifically used as a pelletization agent in order to facilitate drug absorption. References Verheyen, P. et al.: Drug. Dev. Ind. Pharm., 35, 1325 (2009); Liew, C. et al.: Pharm. Res., 22, 1387 (2005);
