expectorant drug | guaiphenesin is also known as dimethoxyphenyl ether, guaifenesin, guaifenesin, guaifenesin, it is an irritant expectorant, which can stimulate the gastric mucosa after oral administration, and increase the secretion of bronchial mucosal glands, reduce the viscosity of sputum, and make the phlegm easy to cough up. Suitable for the treatment of phlegm is not easy to cough. Guaiphenesin has a Disinfection antiseptic effect, can reduce the stench of sputum, but also has antitussive, antispasmodic, anticonvulsant effect, for chronic bronchitis, sputum Cough, lung abscess, bronchiectasis and secondary asthma, it is used in combination with other antitussive and Antiasthmatic drugs. Can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and in 1 to 3 hours to reach the peak blood concentration. Most of them were excreted from the intestine, and a small amount of glucuronic acid conjugates were rapidly excreted with urine. |
Use | guaiphenesin is an expectorant antitussive drug, suitable for chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and other diseases. |
production method | results from the condensation of sodium guaiacolate with 3-chloropropanediol. Sodium hydroxide solution and guaiacol were prepared into sodium phenolate at 40 ℃, 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol was added, the temperature was raised to 95 ℃, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 92-98 ℃ for 3 hours, the brine layer was separated and acidified to pH 3-5 by addition of hydrochloric acid. The crystals were cooled and filtered. The filter cake was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain guaiphenesin. The yield was about 60%. |
