Bromhexine

Bromhexine API

Bromhexine acts on the mucus at the formative stages in the glands, within the mucus-secreting cells. Bromhexine disrupts the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibres in mucoid sputum and produces a less viscous mucus, which is easier to expectorate.

Cas No :	3572-43-8
Name :	Bromhexine
Synonyms :	2,4-Dibromo-6-{[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]methyl}aniline
Molecular Formula :	C14H20Br2N2
Melting Point :	240-244°C
Boiling Point :	413.8±40.0 °C at 760 mmHg
Molecular Weight :	376.136 g·mol−1
Density :	1.6±0.1 g/cm3
Solubility :	In aqueous systems bromhexine hydrochloride (Br-HCl) has a poor solubility (4.54 mg/g) and displays no amphiphilic character e.g. self association. Therefore the drug is molecularly dispersed in water until the solubility product of Br-HCl is exceeded

Uses :

Bromhexine is a drug that aids the body's mucus-clearing processes in the respiratory tract. It is used to relieve chest congestion. The medication belongs to a class of drugs called mucolytics, which break down mucus to make it easier to cough up. As a result, to treat cough, this medication is added to cough syrups.
