Sulfonamides and Derivatives

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.

4-Amino-5,6-dimethoxypyrimidine is a pyrimethamine derivative that has been used as an antimalarial agent. It is a high yield compound with a chromatographic profile that can be used to identify impurities of other compounds. 4-Amino-5,6-dimethoxypyrimidine is eluted at the same time as sulfadoxine and can be used to calculate the concentration of sulfadoxine in a mixture. It can also be used as a reagent for rp-hplc. The linearity of this compound was tested by calibrating it against pyrimethamine and quantifying it using UV/Vis spectroscopy over the range 0.05 to 1 mg/mL.
