Tiotropium [CAS: 186691-13-4] is a synthetic anticholinergic agent. It is an inhalant that treats acute bronchospasm caused by chronic bronchitis or emphysema.

Tiotropium: Use and Commercial Availability  

Tiotropium is an inhalation spray prescribed to maintain bronchospasm in COPD, prevent COPD exacerbations, and treat asthma in patients aged 12 or older. Tiotropium focuses on M3 muscarinic receptors in the airways and helps to relax smooth muscles, leading to safe bronchodilation.

Tiotropium is available under the names such as Spiriva and Spiriva Respimat, which contains the active ingredient, Tiotropium.

Tiotropium Structure and Mechanism of Action

The chemical name of Tiotropium is (1α,2β,4β,5α,7β)-7-[(2-Hydroxy-2,2-di-2-thienylacetyl)oxy]-9,9-dimethyl-3-oxa-9-azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.02,4]nonane. Its chemical formula is C₁₉H₂₂NO₄S₂, and its molecular weight is approximately 392.5 g/mol.

Tiotropium prevents M3 receptors in the smooth muscle causing bronchodilation.

Tiotropium Impurities and Synthesis

During Tiotropium’s manufacturing¹, impurity formation is possible, compromising its effectiveness. They can arise from various sources, including the raw materials, intermediates, and chemicals utilized to synthesize Tiotropium. To ensure the drug’s optimal efficacy and safety, closely managing and monitoring these impurities is paramount.

Daicel offers a wholesome and integrated Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Tiotropium impurities, such as Tiotropium Bromide EP Impurity C, Scopoline Methobromide, Tiotropium EP Impurity A, Tiotropium EP Impurity E, and Tiotropium impurity G. The CoA provides detailed characterization data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity². Additionally, er give a detailed 13C-DEPT upon delivery. With advanced technology and expertise, Daicel can synthesize any unknown Tiotropium impurity or degradation product.
