Manufacturing process of Meglumine

Meglumine, also known as N-Methyl-D-Glucamine, is manufactured through a controlled chemical process starting from glucose.

1. Raw Material Selection

D-Glucose is used as the primary raw material.
Additional key reagent: Methylamine.

2. Hydrogenation of Glucose

D-Glucose is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation using a nickel catalyst under high pressure.
This converts glucose into Sorbitol (D-Glucitol).

3. Amination with Methylamine

Sorbitol is reacted with methylamine in aqueous solution.
Under controlled temperature and pH, one hydroxyl group is substituted with a methylamino group.
This results in the formation of Meglumine (C₇H₁₇NO₅).

4. Purification

Removal of catalyst residues and unreacted materials.
Crystallization or ion-exchange purification is used to achieve pharmaceutical-grade quality.

5. Drying & Milling

The product is dried under controlled conditions to maintain low moisture content.
Milling and sieving ensure a uniform crystalline powder.
