Olopatadine is a commonly used antiallergic drug in clinical practice, with both H1 receptor antagonism and mast cell stabilization effects. The double bond in its molecular structure makes it prone to generating cis-trans isomer impurities during synthesis. Olopatadine Impurity 25, as a (Z)-type double bond configuration hydrochloride impurity, may be formed during condensation or salification reactions, and its content directly affects drug quality. Since isomeric impurities may have different biological activities, research on this impurity is an important part of olopatadine quality control.
Current research focuses on:
Synthesis Process: Developing high-purity synthesis methods for (Z)-isomer hydrochloride to solve the challenge of chiral separation and obtain single-configuration reference standards;
Detection Technologies: Using chiral chromatography (e.g., HPLC with chiral columns) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for highly sensitive detection of cis-trans isomers;
Toxicological Evaluation: Studying the impact of (Z)-structure and hydrochloride on potential drug toxicity through in vitro cytotoxicity experiments;
Process Control: Analyzing the influence of parameters such as condensation reaction temperature and catalyst type on isomer generation to optimize conditions for reducing its content.
