The active ingredient in dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules, a proton pump inhibitor, is (+)-2-[( R )-{[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl] methyl} sulfinyl]- 1H -benzimidazole, a compound that inhibits gastric acid secretion. Dexlansoprazole is the R -enantiomer of lansoprazole (a racemic mixture of the R - and S -enantiomers). Its molecular formula is: C 16 H 14 F 3 N 3 O 2 S, with a molecular weight of 369.36. Dexlansoprazole has the following chemical structure: Structure Dexlansoprazole is a white to off white crystalline powder which melts with decomposition at 143° to 144°C. Dexlansoprazole is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in dimethylformamide, soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in ethyl acetate and acetonitrile, practically insoluble in hexane. Dexlansoprazole is stable when exposed to light. Dexlansoprazole is more stable in neutral and alkaline conditions than acidic conditions. Dexlansoprazole is supplied for oral administration as a dual delayed-release formulation in capsules. The capsules contain dexlansoprazole in a mixture of two types of enteric-coated granules with different pH-dependent dissolution profiles [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules are available in two dosage strengths: 30 mg and 60 mg per capsule. Each capsule contains enteric-coated granules consisting of dexlansoprazole (active ingredient) and the following inactive ingredients: calcium hydroxide, colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, mannitol, methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer, methacrylic acid copolymer type B, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, sodium lauryl sulfate, sugar spheres, talc and triethyl citrate. The black imprinting ink contains: ammonium hydroxide, iron oxide black, isopropyl alcohol, N-butyl alcohol, propylene glycol and shellac glaze in ethanol. The capsule shells contain hypromellose and titanium dioxide. In addition, 60 mg contain FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Yellow #5*, and FD&C Yellow #6. *60 mg capsule contains FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 )] . Structure
