Pharmacology
Cellulose is a linear polymer of ?-(1?4)-D-glucopyranose units. Cellulose is a mostly insoluble molecule consisting of between 2000 - 14000 residues with some preparations being somewhat shorter. Cellulose exists in two forms, amorphous and crystalline. Water cannot penetrate crystalline cellulose but dry amorphous cellulose absorbs water becoming soft and flexible. Cellulose has many uses as an anticake agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, dispersing agent, thickener, and gelling agent but these are generally subsidiary to its most important use of holding on to water. About a third of the world's production of purified cellulose is used as the base material for a number of water-soluble derivatives with pre-designed and wide-ranging properties dependent on groups involved and the degree of derivatization. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is one such example.
