Methopabate, chemically known as Methyl 4-acetamido-2-methoxybenzoate, is a high-quality pharmaceutical intermediate used in the manufacture of Metoclopramide and related pharmaceutical compounds. It is an aromatic acetamide ester containing methoxy and acetamido functional groups and is an important intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing. MEDIOCON INC supplies quality-focused Methopabate for pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing, API synthesis, process development and bulk chemical requirements.
Methopabate is also known as Methyl 4-Acetamido-2-Methoxybenzoate, Methyl 4-Acetylamino-2-Methoxybenzoate, 4-Acetamide-2-Methoxybenzoic Acid Methyl Ester, 4-Acetylamino-2-Methoxybenzoic Acid Methyl Ester, Methyl 4-(Acetylamino)-o-Anisate and Metoclopramide Intermediate. Its CAS number is 4093-29-2, molecular formula is C₁₁H₁₃NO₄, and molecular weight is 223.23 g/mol.
Methopabate is generally obtained as an off-white to light beige solid or crystalline material. Reported physical data include a melting range of approximately 128°C–132°C. It is slightly soluble in methanol and water and sparingly soluble in DMSO.
Methopabate is particularly important as a key intermediate for Metoclopramide manufacturing. Indian pharmaceutical-intermediate suppliers identify Methopabate as an intermediate used for the manufacture of Metoclopramide, while the Indian Directorate General of Foreign Trade has also identified Methopabate as 4-Acetamide-2-Methoxy Benzoic Acid Methyl Ester in pharmaceutical manufacturing documentation.
The compound is also recognized by the United States Pharmacopeia as Metoclopramide Related Compound D, with CAS 4093-29-2 and pharmaceutical primary-standard status. This USP reference-standard designation should not be confused with a USP monograph for bulk Methopabate as an API.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Methopabate for pharmaceutical intermediate applications, Metoclopramide process development, API manufacturing and research requirements. Product documentation such as Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS/SDS and applicable technical specifications can be provided according to product and customer requirements.
Methopabate is suitable for customers requiring a controlled-quality intermediate for pharmaceutical synthesis and related research applications. MEDIOCON INC focuses on quality-oriented supply of Methopabate for domestic and international pharmaceutical manufacturing markets.
