2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: Pale yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform, DMSO; slightly soluble in hot water; insoluble in cold water and aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 124–126 °C
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under dry sealed storage
- UV characteristic: Distinct UV absorption peak in alcoholic solvent
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Dual functional groups: Carboxyl group + secondary aromatic amine; capable of salt formation, esterification reactions
- Trifluoromethyl electron-withdrawing group: Enhances molecular metabolic stability and anti-inflammatory activity
- Acid & Alkali Stability: Stable in neutral and weak acid environments; dissolves in strong alkaline solution to form soluble flufenamate salts; easy discoloration under strong alkali heating
- Thermal Stability: Slow decomposition above 130 °C
- Photostability: Sensitive to strong UV light; long-term illumination darkens and generates oxidation impurities
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral pharmaceutical excipients; incompatible with concentrated strong alkali, strong oxidants and heavy metal ions
