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.
