Introduction | meglumine selecting a suitable balance for the drug is particularly important for improving the solubility and bioavailability of the drug. Meglumine (N-methyl-D-glucosamine, Meglumine) is a balance ion that is widely used to improve the solubility of drugs. It is an amino sugar of sorbitol origin with a pKa value of 9.6. |
Use | as a cosolvent and surfactant for contrast agents. Diagnostic agents, as cosolvents for contrast agents and Diagnostic agents, cosolvents and surfactants for contrast agents biochemical studies |
production method | is obtained by condensation of glucose with monomethylamine followed by catalytic hydrogenation. Anhydrous ethanol and dry glucose were added to the reaction pot, and the dry monomethylamine gas was introduced at 50 ℃. After 1.5-2H of reaction, the solution was gradually clarified and kept at 50 ℃ for 2H, A solution of glucose in methylamine was obtained. It was then added to the autoclave and pressurized to 2.5MPa with hydrogen in the presence of rexler's nickel and stirred for 1-2H at 80-85 °c. Then, after cooling and depressurization, the material is discharged, the upper meglumine ethanol solution is cooled and crystallized, filtered to obtain the crude product of meglumine, and then refined to obtain the finished product. |
