Ipratropium bromide
1. Basic Information
Name: Ipratropium bromide
Alias: (8r)-3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-phenylpropoxy)-8-methyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-8-azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]octane bromide
CAS No.: 22254-24-6
Molecular Formula: C20H30Br1NO3
Molecular Weight: 412.36
Category: Quaternary ammonium anticholinergic API, respiratory inhalation therapeutic raw material
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, methanol; soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in acetone; insoluble in ether, alkanes
- Melting Range: 230–232 ℃ (decomposes)
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic in high humidity
- Aqueous property: Aqueous solution weakly acidic, stable under neutral & weak acidic conditions
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Tropane quaternary ammonium bromide salt, contains ester group, tertiary aromatic hydroxyl, chiral bicyclic skeleton
- Ester hydrolysis: Ester linkage breaks under strong acid/alkali heating to generate tropine and phenylpropionic acid impurities
- Quaternary ammonium characteristic: Stable cation structure, not easy to pass through blood-brain barrier, low central side effects
- Optical activity: Contains multiple chiral centers, strict optical purity requirements for pharmaceutical grade
- Thermal stability: Stable below 210 ℃; high temperature decomposes and releases bromide-containing volatile substances
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; long-term UV irradiation produces yellow degradation impurities
- Compatibility: Compatible with water, low-carbon alcohols; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong base
3. Main Application Fields

Safety Warning
Low acute toxicity irritant pharmaceutical powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory mucosa; long-term skin contact may cause mild dry allergic reaction. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator and nitrile gloves. Prescription drug, improper oral use may cause dry mouth, tachycardia, urinary retention and other anticholinergic side effects. Waste liquid neutralized before discharge; solid waste classified as halogen-containing pharmaceutical hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
