Description

Metaraminoltartrate CAS NO 17171-57-2 is the tartrate salt form of metaraminol, a sympathomimetic amine with potent vasopressor activity. This high-purity pharmaceutical intermediate is critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of finished drug formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of injectable medications used to treat acute hypotension and shock.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Serves as the key intermediate in the synthesis of Metaraminol Bitartrate, a critical vasopressor agent.
• Injectable Formulations: Used in the production of sterile injectable solutions for emergency medicine to manage severe hypotension and shock during surgical procedures.
• Cardiovascular Drugs: A vital component in medications designed to increase blood pressure and improve perfusion in critical care settings.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a chiral building block in advanced organic synthesis for adrenergic receptor-targeting compounds.
• Reference Standard: Utilized in quality control laboratories as a high-purity analytical reference standard for HPLC and pharmacopeial testing.
• Research & Development: Used in preclinical and clinical research for studying sympathomimetic agents and cardiovascular pharmacology.

Quality Control

Our Metaraminoltartrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, chiral purity, and impurity profile analysis, to ensure compliance with pharmaceutical-grade standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming specifications for identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
