Description
Suplatast tosilate is the tosylate salt form of suplatast, functioning as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) classified as a Th2 cytokine inhibitor. Its primary mechanism involves selectively suppressing the production of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) by helper T cells, thereby inhibiting immunoglobulin E (IgE) synthesis and eosinophil activation, which are key pathways in the allergic inflammatory response.
Stability and Storage Conditions
Stable for 1 year from date of purchase as supplied. Solutions in DMSO or distilled water may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
Solubility
DMSO: >20mg/mL
Storage
Inert atmosphere,Room Temperature
Applications
The Suplatast tosilate is used in the manufacture of oral dosage forms (tablets and dry syrup) for the treatment of allergic respiratory diseases. Its primary clinical applications include bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis, where it helps alleviate symptoms by modulating the underlying Th2-mediated immune response, reducing airway inflammation, and improving respiratory function, particularly in patients with mild to moderate atopic conditions.
