Description:
Lansoprazole is a white to brownish-white odorless crystalline powder which melts with decomposition at approximately 166°C. Lansoprazole is freely soluble in dimethylformamide; soluble in methanol; sparingly soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and acetonitrile; very slightly soluble in ether; and practically insoluble in hexane and water.Lansoprazole is an acid proton-pump inhibitor. It is used for the short-term treatment of duodenal ulcers or erosive esophagitis, and for long-term treatment of a pathological hypersecretory condition known as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.Lansoprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
