Product Information

• Name: 6-o-Desmethyl moxonidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-O-Desmethyl moxonidine is a drug product that is a metabolite of the parent compound, moxonidine. It has been shown to be an impurity in the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) and is used as an analytical standard for HPLC. 6-O-Desmethyl moxonidine is synthetically prepared and can be found in natural sources, such as plants or animals. The metabolism studies indicate that the substance is excreted unchanged in urine following oral administration and undergoes extensive hydrolysis in liver microsomes to yield 4-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxymethylpiperidinopropyl) piperidine, which is then oxidized to 3-(4-hydroxypiperidinopropyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole. This product may cause skin irritation.
