Description

Bethanechol is a parasympathomimetic choline carbamate that selectively stimulates muscarinic receptors. This compound is valued for its reliable pharmacological activity and is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions engaged in developing treatments for urinary retention, gastrointestinal atony, and related autonomic nervous system disorders. Bethanechol CAS NO 111244-96-3 is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure consistency for demanding industrial and research applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of finished dosage forms for cholinergic agonists.
• Research & Development: Used in pharmacological studies to investigate muscarinic receptor function and autonomic nervous system pathways.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method validation in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• API Manufacturing: Employed in the commercial production of Bethanechol Chloride tablets and other formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in *in vitro* and *in vivo* models to study smooth muscle contraction and secretory processes.

Quality Control

Our Bethanechol is manufactured and tested under a quality management system to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical intermediates. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. While not officially compendial (USP/EP) grade, our quality protocols are designed to support GMP-aligned manufacturing processes for our global customer base.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
