Moroxydine hydrochloride is an antiviral used against a number of RNA and DNA viruses.
43.5 g morpholine, 41.7 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid, 40 ml of water,
and 42 g dicyandiamide are refluxed for 48 hours, whereupon the reaction
mixture is cooled to +5°C and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness
and extracted and extracted with boiling ethanol. Yield: 50 g. The formed 4-
morpholinecarboximidoylguanidine hydrochloride is purified by recrystallization
from methanol. The salt may be converted into the base by adding equivalent
of any basic compound (triethylamine, sodium bicarbonate and so on).
In practice it is usually used as hydrochloride.
Determination of moroxydine hydrochloride in Gan Mao Qing capsules by derivative spectrophotometric signal multiplier method has been reported. Therapeutical efficiency of moroxidine hydrochloride against herpes virus induced keratoconjunctivitis has been evaluated by immunofluorescence techniques.
