Nilotinib capsules contains nilotinib, which belongs to a pharmacologic class of drugs known as kinase inhibitors. Nilotinib drug substance, in the form of hydrochloride monohydrate, is a white or slightly yellowish or slightly greenish yellow powder with the molecular formula and weight, respectively, of C 28 H 25 ClF 3 N 7 O 2 and 584 g/mol (corresponding molecular formula and weight of nilotinib base, anhydrous are C 28 H 22 F 3 N 7 O and 529 g/mol, respectively). Freely soluble in dimethyl sulphoxide. The solubility of nilotinib in aqueous solutions decreases with increasing pH. Nilotinib is not optically active. The pKa value of nilotinib hydrochloride monohydrate is found to be 5.64. The chemical name of nilotinib hydrochloride monohydrate is 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]-benzamide, monohydrochloride, monohydrate.
