Bimatoprost Overview

Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog. it is for the treatment of eye diseases, specifically glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It helps in treating damage to the optic nerve (the nerve located at the back of the eye) and reduces abnormalities in the eye's drainage system, thereby preventing excessive pressure in the eyes. Chemignition is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Bimatoprost Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) worldwide. They adhere to strict Quality Management Systems (QMS) to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). This commitment to quality and regulatory standards ensures that the Bimatoprost produced by Chemignition is of the highest quality and efficacy.

Manufacturing process of Bimatoprost

The manufacturing process begins with ensuring equipment cleanliness and availability of utilities, raw materials, and packing materials.

Charge dichloromethane or toluene into a glass pot and add 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin F2α methyl ester and an amine derivative are under stirring. The reaction temperature is maintained at 20–25°C during the addition, then adjusted to 30–35°C for 240–360 minutes to initiate and complete the reaction.

Take In-process sample from reaction mass and send the in-process sample to Quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by HPLC. after results complies cool the reaction mass up to 20–25°C, an aqueous solution is added to quench the reaction, and the organic layer is separated.

The organic layer is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product, which is purified through chromatography. The purified material is dissolved in a solvent, crystallized at low temperatures (0–5°C), filtered, and washed. 

Pack Bimatoprost in a glass or polypropylene (PP) vial. Place the vial inside a poly bag, twist its mouth, and secure it with a PVC strip. Insert this bag into a triple-laminated aluminum bag and seal it properly. Finally, place the sealed aluminum bag in an HDPE container. Store Bimatoprost in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature of -20°C to -10°C.

 

Applications of Bimatoprost

Therapeutic Uses
Treatment of Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension
Bimatoprost lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, helping prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss in glaucoma patients.
Enhancement of Eyelash Growth
Bimatoprost is used in cosmetic and therapeutic products to promote eyelash growth, increasing their length, thickness, and darkness.
Management of Hypotrichosis
Bimatoprost is effective for treating hypertrichosis (inadequate or sparse eyelashes) by stimulating the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Industrial Uses
Pharmaceutical Formulations
Bimatoprost is used in eye drops for glaucoma treatment and in cosmetic products for eyelash growth.
R&D and Formulation Development
It is studied for advanced delivery systems and combination therapies to improve ocular treatments and explore cosmetic uses.
