Olopatadine
General Information
Olopatadine Impurities and Olopatadine
Daicel Pharma synthesizes high-quality Olopatadine impurities, Olopatadine Carbaldehyde Hydrochloride, Olopatadine E-isomer Hydrochloride, Olopatadine related compound C, and α-Hydroxy Olopatadine Hydrochloride, which are crucial in the analysis of the quality, stability, and biological safety of the active pharmaceutical ingredient Olopatadine. Moreover, Daicel Pharma offers custom synthesis of Olopatadine impurities and delivers them globally.
Olopatadine [CAS: 113806-05-6] is a medicine that has dual functions as a histamine H1 receptor antagonist and a mast cell stabilizer, which helps to alleviate allergies. It is an antiallergic agent, a dibenzoxipine derivative for treating allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and bronchial asthma.
Olopatadine: Use and Commercial Availability
Olopatadine is available as an ophthalmic solution for treating ocular signs and allergic conjunctivitis. The drug is marketed under brand names, including Opatanol, Pataday, Patanase, and Ryaltris.
Olopatadine Structure and Mechanism of Action
The chemical name of Olopatadine is (11Z)-11-[3-(Dimethylamino)propylidene]-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid. Its chemical formula is C21H23NO3, and its molecular weight is approximately 337.4 g/mol.
Olopatadine inhibits mast cell mediator release and possesses histamine H1 receptor antagonist activity. With the blockage of receptors, histamine has no effect, so there is a decrease in allergy symptoms.
Olopatadine Impurities and Synthesis
The impurities in Olopatadine arise from the drug’s synthetic process, degradation, and storage conditions. These impurities can affect the drug’s quality, safety, and efficacy and therefore need close monitoring and control during drug manufacturing1 and storage.
Daicel offers a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from a cGMP-compliant analytical facility for Olopatadine impurity standards, Olopatadine Carbaldehyde Hydrochloride, Olopatadine E-isomer Hydrochloride, Olopatadine related compound C, and α-Hydroxy Olopatadine Hydrochloride. The CoA includes complete characterization data, such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity2,3. We also provide 13C-DEPT and CHN on request. We give a complete characterization report on delivery. Daicel has the technology and expertise to prepare any unknown Olopatadine impurity or degradation product.
