2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint characteristic mild odor
- Solubility: Soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO; slightly soluble in water; insoluble in hexane, ether
- Melting Point: Decomposes above 145 °C without distinct melting point
- Specific Optical Rotation [α]D20: -12° ~ -16° (c=1, methanol)
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- UV Property: Characteristic UV absorption peak at 240 nm
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Chiral multi-aromatic skeleton with quinoline, cyclopropyl carboxylate sodium, sulfide and hydroxyl functional groups
- Sodium carboxylate structure: Good water solubility for oral absorption; acidification precipitates free montelukast acid
- Acid & Alkali Stability: Stable under neutral/weak alkaline conditions; strong acid triggers hydrolysis and degradation; strong oxidants cause vinyl double bond oxidation
- Thermal Stability: Gradual degradation above 130 °C, generates related oxidative impurities
- Photostability: Highly sensitive to UV and strong light; light exposure accelerates discoloration and impurity growth
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral tablet excipients; incompatible with concentrated acid, peroxide oxidants, heavy metal salts
3. Main Application Fields
