Ref. 3D-IL24840

Product Information

• Name: Lansoprazole N-oxide
• Synonyms: 2-[[[3-Methyl-1-oxido-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2-pyridinyl]methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazoleLansoprazole impurity A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Lansoprazole N-oxide is a prodrug that is converted to lansoprazole sulfone in vivo. Lansoprazole N-oxide is used as a diluent in chromatographic experiments. It has been shown to be more sensitive than the parent compound, lansoprazole, for the diagnosis of reflux oesophagitis. Lansoprazole N-oxide also has a validation wavelength of 240 nm and can be detected by liquid chromatography. The active form of lansoprazole, lansoprazole sulfone, can be detected by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS).
