Alpha blockers

Doxazosin mesylate (UK 33274 mesylate)(UK 33274) is a quinazoline-derivative. It is a selectively antagonizes postsynaptic α1-adrenergic receptors.

N2-Methyl alfuzosin is an impurity of Alfuzosin, a drug used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can be used as an HPLC standard for the detection and quantification of Alfuzosin in pharmaceutical products. N2-Methyl alfuzosin is a metabolite of Alfuzosin that is formed by cytochrome P450 3A4. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which may be due to its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

Stability Hygroscopic Applications The optically active isomer of Carvedilol (C184625), a nonselective ß-adrenergic blocker with a1-blocking activity. An antihypertensive used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Hirohashi, M., et al.: Arzneim.-Forsch., 40, 735 (1990),

Applications A new known impurity of Carvedilol (C184625), published in Carvedilol USP monograph.
