General Information
Irbesartan Impurities and Irbesartan
Daicel Pharma offers superior-quality Irbesartan impurities, such as Irbesartan Oxime impurity. Irbesartan impurities are vital for evaluating the quality, stability, and biological safety. In addition, Daicel Pharma specializes in the custom synthesis of Irbesartan impurities and ensures their worldwide delivery.
Irbesartan [CAS: 138402-11-6] is a biphenyl tetrazole compound. It inhibits angiotensin II type 1 receptors. It blocks the vasoconstriction caused by angiotensin II and lowers blood pressure. In addition, it inhibits the renin-angiotensin system and slows nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Irbesartan: Use and Commercial Availability
Irbesartan treats hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. It decreases blood pressure and increases blood supply to the heart. Further, it helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It combines with other medicines like diuretics for treating patients with hypertension. Irbesartan is available as an oral formulation under the brands Avapro and Karvea.
Irbesartan Structure and Mechanism of Action
The chemical name of Irbesartan is 2-Butyl-3-[[2′-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-4-one. The chemical formula for Irbesartan is C25H28N6O, and its molecular weight is approximately 428.53 g/mol.
Irbesartan stops angiotensin II binding to the (AT1 subtype) receptor in tissues. Hence, it relaxes vascular smooth muscles and decreases aldosterone secretion.
Irbesartan Impurities and Synthesis
When synthesizing Irbesartan 1, the formation of impurities may affect drug safety and efficacy. They develop during the manufacturing process, storage, or purification of Irbesartan. Irbesartan impurities need control and monitoring to improve the drug safety, efficacy, and storage.
Daicel Pharma offers a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Irbesartan impurities, which includes Irbesartan Oxime impurity. We provide the CoA from a cGMP-compliant analytical facility. The CoA has the complete characterization data such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity2. We give additional spectral data on request. Daicel Pharma can prepare any unidentified Irbesartan impurity or degradation product. In addition, Daicel Pharma offers a highly purified, stable isotope-labeled standard of Irbesartan. Daicel Pharma provides a complete characterization report accompanying the delivery.
