Metaxalone is also known as Metaxalone, Metaxalon, Methaxalonum, Zorane, Skelaxin, Methoxolone and AHR-438. Its CAS number is 1665-48-1, molecular formula is C₁₂H₁₅NO₃, and molecular weight is 221.25 g/mol. PubChem identifies Metaxalone as an aromatic ether and confirms its chemical identity and associated identifiers.
The systematic chemical name of Metaxalone is 5-[(3,5-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one. The molecule contains an oxazolidinone ring linked through a methylene group to a 3,5-dimethylphenoxy moiety. PubChem provides the corresponding IUPAC name, molecular structure, SMILES and InChI identifiers.
Metaxalone is a white to almost white crystalline powder in pharmaceutical-grade material. It is used as the active ingredient in oral muscle-relaxant formulations. Its pharmacological effect is centrally mediated, and the exact mechanism of action has not been fully established.
The current USP-NF monograph defines Metaxalone as containing NLT 98.0% and NMT 102.0% of C₁₂H₁₅NO₃, calculated on the dried basis. USP also identifies USP Metaxalone RS, USP Metaxalone Related Compound B RS and USP Metaxalone Related Compound C RS as reference standards for the monograph.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Metaxalone API for pharmaceutical formulation, analytical development and commercial pharmaceutical requirements. Supporting documentation such as Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS/SDS and applicable technical specifications can be provided according to product specification and customer requirements.
Metaxalone should be handled and stored according to the applicable pharmaceutical quality system and validated manufacturer specifications. Appropriate packaging and environmental controls should be used to maintain API quality throughout storage and transportation.
MEDIOCON INC focuses on quality-oriented supply of Metaxalone API for domestic and international pharmaceutical customers.
