Product Description
Isopromethazine hydrochloride is an impurity in promethazine formulations. Promethazine is an N-substituted phenothiazine with antihistamine activity and uses (H1 receptor antagonist).
Isopromethazine hydrochloride (CAS 5568-90-1) is a derivative of the antihistamine drug promethazine. It is an impurity and a positional isomer of promethazine, where the isomeric structure differs (Isopromethazine is N,N-diethyl-2-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride isomer). Its molecular formula is C17H20N2S·HCl, with a molecular weight of 320.88 g/mol. In research, it is used as an analytical reference standard for the quality control of promethazine drug substances. It is not a therapeutic agent; it is a pharmaceutical impurity and a reference standard.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not applicable. Isopromethazine hydrochloride is a structural isomer and impurity of the H1 antihistamine promethazine. It has significantly lower affinity for the histamine H1 receptor than promethazine and is considered pharmacologically inactive. Promethazine itself acts as an antagonist of H1 receptors, as well as having anti-cholinergic and sedative effects. This impurity does not possess these activities. Its role is as a marker for the purity and stability of promethazine products.
ln Vitro
In vitro, this compound is not used for biological activity studies. It is an analytical standard. In an HPLC method for promethazine, a system suitability solution is prepared containing promethazine (1 mg/mL) and the impurity at 0.1% (1 ug/mL). Using a C18 column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile:phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) (40:60), the impurity elutes with a specific relative retention time (RRT). It is used to verify the resolution of the method. It does not antagonize histamine in functional assays.
ln Vivo
In vivo, this compound is not administered therapeutically. It is part of the quality control process. In stability studies of promethazine formulations, the level of this impurity is monitored to ensure product quality. It is not used in efficacy studies.
Enzyme Assay
General protocol for in vitro analytical use: For HPLC analysis of Promethazine impurities, prepare mobile phase: acetonitrile: buffer (pH 2.5; 40:60). Buffer: 0.05 M KH2PO4 adjusted to pH 2.5 with H3PO4. Prepare a standard solution of Isopromethazine hydrochloride at 1 ug/mL in mobile phase. Inject 20 uL onto a C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 um) at 30degC. Flow rate: 1.0 mL/min. UV detection at 254 nm. The retention time of promethazine is ~8 min, and the impurity elutes with a RRT of ~0.9. Validate the method for specificity and linearity (0.1-5 ug/mL). The reference standard is stored at -20degC. For LC-MS, use positive mode with m/z 285 [M+H]+ (free base).
Cell Assay
General protocol for in vitro cell-based experiments: Not applicable for biological activity. For a forced degradation study, expose promethazine API (10 mg) to UV light for 24 h. Analyze by HPLC. The impurity peak will appear. No cell culture is required.
Animal Protocol
General protocol for in vivo animal experiments: Not applicable for efficacy. For a toxicokinetic study of promethazine, administer promethazine (10 mg/kg, IP) to rats. Collect plasma. Extract and analyze by LC-MS/MS. The method must be capable of separating and quantifying this impurity. The impurity is not dosed directly.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General pharmacokinetic properties: This compound (MW 320.88) is the HCl salt of a small molecule (free base MW 284.42). It is not a drug. It is soluble in water and methanol. For storage, the reference standard is supplied as a solid and should be stored at -20degC. The product is for research and quality control use only. It is an impurity of Promethazine and is used as a reference standard. The product is for research use only and not for human consumption.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity profile: As an impurity, it is controlled to low levels (<0.1-0.5%). Standard chemical handling safety precautions (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses) should be used. This compound is a promethazine impurity and is for research and forensic applications only. It is a white to off-white solid. For research use only.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
