Nilotinib capsules contain nilotinib, which belongs to a pharmacologic class of drugs known as kinase inhibitors. Nilotinib drug substance, a dihydrate mono hydrochloride, is a slightly yellow to slightly greenish yellow powder with the molecular formula C 28 H 22 F 3 N 7 O. HCI. 2H 2 O and relative molecular mass of 602.02. The solubility of nilotinib in aqueous solutions decreases with increasing pH. Nilotinib is not optically active. The pK a 1 was determined to be 2.1; pK a 2 was estimated to be 5.4. The chemical name of nilotinib is 4-Methyl-N-[3-4-methyl-1 H imidazole-1-yl)-5- (trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-3-[[4-pyridin-3-ylpyrimidin-2yl] amino] benzamide hydrochloride dihydrate. Its structure is shown below: Nilotinib capsules, for oral use, contain 150 mg or 200 mg nilotinib base, (equivalent to 170.535 mg and 227.380 mg nilotinib hydrochloride, dihydrate) with the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous, gelatin, magnesium stearate, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate and titanium dioxide. In addition, the 150 mg capsule also contains iron oxide red. The imprinting ink contains shellac, propylene glycol, strong ammonia solution. The 150 mg capsules also contain potassium hydroxide and iron oxide black. The 200 mg capsules also contain iron oxide red. nilotinibchemicalstructure
