Naproxen has the following structure: Naproxen has a molecular weight of 230.26 and a molecular formula of C 14 H 14 O 3 . Naproxen USP is white to off-white practically odourless crystalline powder. It is soluble in chloroform, in dehydrated alcohol and in alcohol, sparingly soluble in ether and practically insoluble in water. The octanol/water partition coefficient of naproxen at pH 6.48 is 1.5. The chemical name for esomeprazole is bis(5-methoxy-2-[(S)-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole-1-yl) magnesium amorphous. Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole, which is a mixture of the S- and R- isomers. Its molecular formula is (C 17 H 18 N 3 O 3 S) 2 Mg with molecular weight of 713.1. The structural formula is: The esomepraozle magnesium USP is a white to pale cream colored powder. It is slightly soluble in methanol and soluble in N,N-Dimethyl formamide and practically insoluble in heptane and in water. The stability of esomeprazole magnesium is a function of pH; it rapidly degrades in acidic media, but it has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions. At pH 6.8 (buffer), the half-life of the magnesium salt is about 19 hours at 25°C and about 8 hours at 37°C. structure1 structure2
