Calcipotriol Monohydrate

Calcipotriol monohydrate BP is a white or almost white crystalline powder with the chemical name (5Z,7E,22E,24S)-24-cyclopropyl-9,10-secochola-5,7,10(19),22-tetraene-1a,3b,24-triol monohydrate and molecular weight of 430.6. It is practically insoluble in water but freely soluble in ethanol and slightly soluble in methylene chloride, and it is sensitive to light with its activity due to both calcipotriol and its reversible isomer pre-calcipotriol in solution.

Calcipotriol Monohydrate BP

Chemical Name : (5Z,7E,22E,24S)-24-Cyclopropyl-9,10-secochola-


5,7,10(19),22-tetraene-1a,3b,24-triol monohydrate.

Empirical Formula : C27H40O3,H2O

Molecular Weight : 430.6

Chemical Structure :

Description : White or almost white, crystalline powder.

Solubility : Practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in


ethanol (96 per cent), slightly soluble in methylene
chloride.
It is sensitive to light.
A reversible isomerisation to pre-calcipotriol takes
place in solution, depending on temperature and
time. The activity is due to both compounds.
