Alendronate sodium structure

Alendronate sodium

Alendronate sodium, with the chemical formula C4H12NNaO7P2 and CAS registry number 121268-17-5, is a compound used in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates, which work by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, cells responsible for bone resorption. Alendronate sodium is available in oral tablet form and is typically taken once a week. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, such as abdominal pain and heartburn. It is important to take alendronate sodium with a full glass of water and remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication to prevent esophageal irritation. Alendronate sodium is a widely prescribed medication for the management of osteoporosis and has been shown to reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women and men with osteoporosis.

After completion of the addition, the reaction temperature was raised to 70-75° C. and the reaction continued for 6-9 hours at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was cooled to 60-65° C. and water (150 ml) was added slowly at the same temperature. The reaction temperature was then increased to 90-100° C. and maintained for the next 4-6 hours.

Manufacturing Process
4-Amino-1-hydroxybutylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (ABDT).
Orthosphophorous acid (102.7 g; 1.25 moles) is introduced into a 2 liter-flask with condenser, stirrer and dropping funnel, placed on a thermostatized bath; the air is then removed with a nitrogen stream which is continued during all the reaction. The acid is melted by heating the bath to 95°C. When melting is complete, 4-aminobutyric acid (103.3; 1 mole) is added under stirring which is continued till obtaining a doughy fluid. Phosphorous trihalide (176 ml; 2 moles) is added dropwise causing the mixture to boil and evolution of gaseous hydrochloric acid which is damped by means of a suitable trap. The addition rate is adjusted so as to keep a constant reflux for about 60 minutes. When the addition is nearly over, the mixture swells, slowly hardening. Stirring is continued as long as possible, whereafter the mixture is heated for further 3 hours. Without cooling, but removing the bath, water (300 ml) is added, first slowly and then quickly. Heating and stirring are started again. Decolorizing charcoal is added and the mixture is boiled for about 5 minutes, then hotfiltered on paper and the filtrate is refluxed for 6 hours. After cooling is slowly poured in stirred methanol (1500 ml) causing thereby the separation of a white solid which collected and dried (161 g; 64.6%). The structure of ABDT is confirmed by IR spectrum, proton magnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and elemental analysis.
The sodium salt of this acid may be prepared by adding of equivalent of sodium hydroxide.
