Itraconazole, USP is an azole antifungal agent. Itraconazole, USP is a 1:1:1:1 racemic mixture of four diastereomers (two enantiomeric pairs), each possessing three chiral centers. It may be represented by the following structural formula and nomenclature: (±)-1-[( R *)- sec -butyl]-4-[ p -[4-[ p -[[(2 R *,4 S *)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1 H -1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ 2 -1,2,4-triazolin-5-one mixture with (±)-1-[( R *)- sec -butyl]-4-[ p -[4-[ p -[[(2 S *,4 R *)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1 H -1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ 2 -1,2,4-triazolin-5-one or (±)-1-[( RS )- sec -butyl]-4-[ p -[4-[ p -[[(2 R ,4 S )-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1 H -1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ 2 -1,2,4-triazolin-5-one Itraconazole, USP has a molecular formula of C 35 H 38 Cl 2 N 8 O 4 and a molecular weight of 705.64. It is a white or almost white powder. It is insoluble in water, very slightly soluble in alcohols, and freely soluble in dichloromethane. It has a pKa of 3.70 (based on extrapolation of values obtained from methanolic solutions) and a log (n-octanol/water) partition coefficient of 5.66 at pH 8.1. Itraconazole capsules contain 100 mg of itraconazole, USP coated on sugar spheres. Inactive ingredients are black iron oxide, FD&C Blue No. 1, gelatin, hypromellose, liquid glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, shellac, sodium lauryl sulfate, starch (of maize), strong ammonia solution, sucrose and titanium dioxide. f5faba3b-figure-01
