Chlorpheniramine Maleate
1. Basic Product Information
Product Name: Chlorpheniramine Maleate
CAS Number: 113-92-8
Molecular Formula: C16H19ClN2·C4H4O4
Molecular Weight: 390.87
Synonyms: Chlorphenamine Maleate, 2-[p-Chloro-α-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]benzyl]pyridine maleate
Product Category: Human antihistamine API, anti-allergy pharmaceutical raw material, cold medicine active ingredient
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slight bitter taste
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, methanol and ethanol; slightly soluble in acetone; insoluble in ether, benzene and aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 130–135 °C
- Optical Activity: Racemic mixture without optical rotation
- Density (20 °C): 1.22 g/cm3
- Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity environment
- Aqueous Stability: Stable under neutral and weakly acidic aqueous solutions; slow degradation occurs under high temperature and strong alkaline conditions
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Pyridine alkylamine antihistamine combined with maleic acid salt, containing chloro-substituted benzene ring and dimethylamino alkyl side chain
- Core Functional Mechanism: Competitive H1 histamine receptor antagonist; relieves allergic symptoms including rhinitis, urticaria, pruritus; widely used in compound cold and flu preparations
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; long-term UV irradiation triggers yellow discoloration and reduces pharmacological activity
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 100 °C; thermal decomposition above melting point releases irritant chlorine and nitrogen-containing volatile fumes
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with most pharmaceutical excipients and polar protic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkalis and heavy metal salts
3. Main Application Fields
- Core Application: Oral Antihistamine API
Main active raw material for anti-allergy tablets, syrups, capsules and compound cold preparations, clinically used for allergic rhinitis, skin allergies and cold-related runny nose - Pharmaceutical Compound Preparation Auxiliary
Combined with paracetamol, pseudoephedrine and dextromethorphan to produce multi-component cold relief drugs - Biochemical Research Reagent
H1 receptor antagonist standard for immunology and allergy mechanism research in laboratory
4. Platform Category & Product Group Guidance
1) Domestic B2B Platform Category
Recommended Path: Organic Intermediates / Pharmaceutical APIs
Reason: Finished human antihistamine active pharmaceutical ingredient for over-the-counter cold and allergy medicines
2) English Product Group Dropdown Options
