Diltiazem Hydrochloride
1. Basic Information
Name: Diltiazem hydrochloride
Alias: (2S,3S)-3-(acetyloxy)-5-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)-one hydrochloride
CAS No.: 33286-22-5
Molecular Formula: C??H??ClN?O?S
Molecular Weight: 466.98
Category: Calcium channel blocker cardiovascular API, anti-angina, antihypertensive raw material, antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White or off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless, slightly bitter taste
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, methanol, dilute acid; soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in acetone; insoluble in ether, benzene, alkane solvents
- Melting Point: 210–215 ℃ (decomposes)
- Density (predicted): 1.34 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- Aqueous property: Aqueous solution weak acidic, pH 4.0–5.5; ester group prone to hydrolysis under strong alkali and heating
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Benzothiazepine chiral skeleton, contains acetyl ester, dimethylamino, methoxy, sulfur heterocycle; chiral carbon determines pharmacological activity
- Pharmacological mechanism: Blocks L-type calcium channels of vascular smooth muscle and myocardium, dilates coronary vessels, reduces peripheral vascular resistance, lowers heart rate and blood pressure
- Ester hydrolysis: Acetoxy group hydrolyzes under alkaline/high temperature to form desacetyl diltiazem impurity, significantly reduces efficacy
- Oxidation sensitivity: Sulfur atom on benzothiazepine ring oxidizes under light and heavy metal ions to generate sulfoxide impurities
- Thermal stability: Stable below 70 ℃; long-term heating above 100 ℃ accelerates hydrolysis and oxidation degradation
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; UV irradiation turns powder yellow, related substances increase sharply
- Compatibility: Compatible with weak acidic buffer, mannitol, lactose excipients; incompatible with strong alkali, oxidants, iron/copper heavy metal salts
