The active ingredient in pantoprazole sodium for delayed-release oral suspension, a PPI, is a substituted benzimidazole, sodium 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-[[(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]¬-1 H -benzimidazole sesquihydrate, a compound that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Its molecular formula is C 16 H 14 F 2 N 3 NaO 4 S x 1.5 H 2 O, with a molecular weight of 432.4. The structural formula is: Pantoprazole sodium USP, (sesquihydrate) is a white to off-white crystalline powder and is racemic. Pantoprazole has weakly basic and acidic properties. Pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate is freely soluble in water, very slightly soluble in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, and practically insoluble in n-hexane. The stability of the compound in aqueous solution is pH-dependent. The rate of degradation increases with decreasing pH. At ambient temperature, the degradation half-life is approximately 2.8 hours at pH 5 and approximately 220 hours at pH 7.8. Pantoprazole sodium for delayed-release oral suspension is supplied as a for delayed-release oral suspension in unit-dose packets available in one strength 40 mg pantoprazole, (equivalent to 45.1 mg of pantoprazole sodium), contains the following inactive ingredients: calcium stearate, crospovidone, ferric oxide yellow, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, methacrylic acid copolymer, microcrystalline cellulose, polysorbate 80, povidone, sodium carbonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triethyl citrate. chemical-structure
