Description
Amlexanox is an orally-active antiasthmatic agent with anti-inflammatory properties, useful in the treatment of bronchial asthma and allergy-related sinus disorders. It is a pyridochromene-derived monocarboxylic acid with an amino substituent at the 2-position, an oxo substituent at the 5-position, and an isopropyl substituent at the 7-position. Amlexanox is a white crystalline solid and is known by the brand names Aphthasol (Uluru) and Solfa. Its therapeutic effect is attributed to its inhibitory actions on leukohiene D4, PAF, and histamine.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Amlexanox is used as an antiallergic and antiasthmatic agent for inhibiting the release of allergic mediators from mast cells. It is particularly effective in treating bronchial asthma and allergy-related sinus disorders due to its inhibitory actions on leukohiene D4, PAF, and histamine.
Originator
Takeda (Japan)
Manufacturing Process
A mixture of 2 ml of morpholine, 3 ml of dimethylformamide and 10 ml of
water was heated to 60°C and under stirring the equal molecular quantity of
6-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile was added for 5 minutes.
The mixture was heated at that temperature for one hour and the resultant
precipitate was filtered, rained with water recrystallized from acetic acid and
washed with chloroform. By the above procedure was obtained 2-amino-6-
isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde melting at 206°-208°C. A
mixture of 4 ml ethyl cyanoacetate, 50 ml of ethanol, 5 ml of piperidine and
the equal molecular quantity of 2-amino-6-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-
3-carboxaldehyde was refluxed for 30 minutes and, after cooling, the
crystalline precipitate was filtered and washed with chloroform. By above
procedure was obtained ethyl-2-amino-7-isopropyl-1-azaxanthone-3-
carboxylate, melting after recrystallization from ethanol at 243°-244°C. A
mixture of 10 ml of acetic acid and 10 ml of 55% sulfuric acid the equal
molecular quantity and 2-ethyl-amino-7-isopropyl-1-azaxanthone-3-
carboxylate was stirred at 130°C for 4 hours and, after water was added, the
precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystalllized from
dimethylformamide to give the 2-amino-7-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-5H-
[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, melting point 300°C.
Therapeutic Function
Antiulcer (topical)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Amlexanox elevates the amount of nonsense-containing mRNAs in treated cells and helps to generate full-length proteins effectively.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 68302-57-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,8,3,0 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 68302-57:
(7*6)+(6*8)+(5*3)+(4*0)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*7)=128
128 % 10 = 8
So 68302-57-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Spherical granules having core and their production
-
, (2008/06/13)
The spherical granules having a core coated with spraying powder containing a drug and low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, because of their excellent hardness, can be coated further evenly, (e.g. sustained release coating, gastric coating, enteric coating), and at the time the granules are excellent in disintegration.
