Sulfonamides and Derivatives

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It has been shown to reduce the number of exacerbations in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Meloxicam also inhibits the production of Cox-2, which is an enzyme that produces inflammation in joints. The oral route of administration allows meloxicam to be distributed through the body. This drug is not active against ankylosing spondylitis and it should not be taken by pregnant women or children under 12 years old.

2-[[4-(2-Pyridylsulfamoyl)phenyl]azo]hydroxybenzene is an impurity found in sulfasalazine. It is a metabolite that is formed by the P450 system in the liver. The metabolic process of 2-[[4-(2-Pyridylsulfamoyl)phenyl]azo]hydroxybenzene has been studied in detail and has been shown to be a major contributor to the pharmacokinetic profile of sulfasalazine. This substance also exhibits antimicrobial activity and inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Methyl 2-sulfinobenzoate (MSB) is an analytical, research and development, and drug development impurity that is used as an API impurity and HPLC standard. It is a metabolite of sulfadiazine, which belongs to the family of drugs known as sulfonamides. MSB has been shown to have pharmacopoeia activity for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is a natural product found in plants, such as garlic and onion, or it can be synthesized from benzene and sulfur chloride.

Ibuprofen EP impurity H is an impurity of ibuprofen. It is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 182-184°C and a molecular weight of 253.3. Ibuprofen EP impurity H can be synthesized in high purity by reacting 4-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride with 2-hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of triethylamine. This impurity has been used as a standard for drug product analysis, pharmacopoeia standards, drug development, and metabolism studies. Ibuprofen EP impurity H can be identified by HPLC using a retention time of 17.2 minutes and an UV absorption maximum at 254 nm.

This is a white crystalline compound that has been shown to be effective against glutamic acid-sensitive L-amino acid decarboxylase. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other pharmaceuticals.

Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that belongs to the propionic acid derivative group. It is used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain and inflammation, such as arthritis. Aceclofenac is rapidly hydrolyzed by esterases in the small intestine, resulting in the release of aceclofenac acid. Aceclofenac benzyl ester is a chemical intermediate that has been shown to be an efficient method for producing aceclofenac acid. It can be obtained by reacting bromoacetic anhydride with methyl alcohol and then hydrolyzing the product with strong acids. This compound may contain impurities, such as nucleophilic impurities, which can lead to side effects.
