Description
Captopril Product Overview
Captopril (C9H15NO3S) is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a faint sulfur-like odor. It dissolves freely in water and alcohol. Its molecule contains a free thiol (SH) group, which is responsible for the odor and makes it sensitive to oxidation into a disulfide impurity, so moisture and heat protection matter during storage.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets in the ACE inhibitor class. It is the parent compound of the class that also includes Enalapril Maleate and Lisinopril, which do not contain a thiol group. Related cardiovascular APIs include angiotensin receptor blockers such as Losartan potassium and Valsartan.
Zyntex supplies it from qualified API producers with lot-specific documentation, only to companies licensed for pharmaceutical use.
