selumetinib - Medications

KOSELUGO contains selumetinib sulfate, a kinase inhibitor. The chemical name is 5-[(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)amino]-4-fluoro-6-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbamoyl]-1-methyl-1 H -benzimidazol-3-ium hydrogen sulfate. The molecular formula for selumetinib sulfate is C 17 H 17 BrClFN 4 O 7 S and the relative molecular mass is 555.76 g/mol. Selumetinib sulfate has the following structural formula: Selumetinib sulfate is a white to yellow monomorphic crystalline powder that exhibits a pH dependent solubility. Selumetinib sulfate is freely soluble at pH < 1.5, sparingly soluble in the pH range at 1.5 to 3 and slightly soluble at pH > 3. Selumetinib sulfate has two ionizable functions with pKa values of 2.8 and 8.4. KOSELUGO (selumetinib) 10 mg capsules for oral use, contain 10 mg selumetinib (equivalent to 12.1 mg selumetinib sulfate) and the excipient, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate. The capsule shell contains carnauba wax, carrageenan, hypromellose, potassium chloride, purified water, and titanium dioxide. The capsule is imprinted with black ink that contains ammonium hydroxide, iron oxide black, propylene glycol, and shellac. KOSELUGO (selumetinib) 25 mg capsules for oral use, contain 25 mg selumetinib (equivalent to 30.25 mg selumetinib sulfate) and the excipient, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate. The capsule shell contains carnauba wax and/or cornstarch, carrageenan, FD&C blue 2, ferric oxide yellow, hypromellose, potassium chloride, purified water, and titanium dioxide. The capsule is imprinted with black ink that contains carnauba wax, FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake, ferric oxide red, ferric oxide yellow, glyceryl monooleate, and shellac. KOSELUGO (selumetinib) 5 mg oral granules contain 5 mg selumetinib (equivalent to 6.05 mg selumetinib sulfate). The uncoated cores contain selumetinib sulfate, glyceryl dibehenate, and stearoyl polyoxylglycerides. The granule coating contains acetone, hypromellose acetate succinate, and stearic acid. The capsule shell contains ferric oxide yellow, hypromellose, and titanium dioxide. The capsule shell is imprinted with black ink that contains butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, ferric oxide black, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, purified water, shellac, and strong ammonia solution. KOSELUGO (selumetinib) 7.5 mg oral granules contain 7.5 mg selumetinib (equivalent to 9.08 mg selumetinib sulfate).
