Sulfasalazine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Add 2.9 g of 5-aminosalicylic acid to 50 ml of water at 20 to 25 ° C, and add hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 3 to stir.Dissolve, heat up to 30 ~ 35 ° C insulation. Add 10 ml of 4-nitrososulfonate 5 g of methanol to the mixture at 30-35 ° C.The reaction was kept warm until the temperature was 50 ° C until the reaction was completed. After the heat preservation, the mixture was cooled to 0 ° C for suction filtration, and the dried baking material was dried to obtain 7 g of sulfasalazine.92.5percent.into the reaction bottle placed Salicylic acid and partialsodium hydroxide with a material amount of 1.3(with the material amount ofSulfapyridine is 1). After the temperature was controlled to 7 ° C, A wasgradually dropped into the above reaction bottle and simultaneously theremaining sodium hydroxide solution was dropped to control the pH of thereaction solution to 10 to initiate the reaction. The amount of sodiumhydroxide used is 4 (based on the material amount of Sulfapyridine is 1).after1.5h of reaction the reaction was stopped. In to the reaction mixture acetonewas added then the pH was adjusted to 3 with the addition of acid, and thetemperature was refluxed for a period of time. And then cooled to 30 ° C toprecipitate crystals. The crystals were filtered off and the crystals werewashed several times to obtain sulfasalazine. The yield of this example was 94.9percent, and the purity was 98.6percent by HPLC.

Uses

Sulfasalazine is a prodrug of the anti-inflammatory agent 5-aminosalicylic acid that is covalently linked to the antibiotic sulfapyridine by an azo bond. This bond is rapidly cleaved by bacteria in the terminal ileum and colon, thus releasing the active anti-inflammatory component. It has long been used in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis because of its ability to induce T lymphocyte apoptosis, modulate inflammatory mediators from both cyclooxygenase/5-lipoxygenase pathways and NF-κB signaling pathways, attenuate transcription of proinflammatory cytokines, and activate PPARγ.[Cayman Chemical]

Drug Function and Efficacy

Anti-inflammatory drugs. A pharmacological experiment on a rat immune ulcerative colitis model was conducted to compare the effects of anal suppositories and oral tablets in the treatment of colitis. The results showed that the therapeutic effect of anal suppositories was significantly better than oral administration.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
