Synthesis and Characterization of Metabolites and Potential Impurities of the Antiulcerative Drug Tenatoprazole
摘要:
Tenatoprazole (Ulsacare (R)) is a recently developed antiulcerative drug used for the treatment of both erosive and nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease. During the bulk synthesis of tenatoprazole, we have observed four impurities (tenatoprazole N-oxide, tenatoprazole sulfone N-oxide, N-methyl tenatoprazole, and desmethoxy tenatoprazole) and two metabolites (tenatoprazole sulfide and tenatoprazole sulfone). The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of these impurities.
