Diacerein Overview

Diacerein is widely used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, particularly for treating osteoarthritis. It works by inhibiting the interleukin-1 production, which is involved in the inflammatory process. Chemignition is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Diacerein Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) worldwide. They adhere to strict Quality Management Systems (QMS) to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). Chemignition's commitment to quality and regulatory compliance ensures that the Diacerein produced is of the highest purity and efficacy.

Key Properties of Diacerein

Product Name: Diacerein
Synonyms: 4,5-bis(acetyloxy)-9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-2-carboxylic acid
CAS No: 13739-02-01
Chemical Formula: C19H12O8
Grade: BP/EP

Molar Mass: 368.29 g/mol
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Manufacturing process of Diacerein

The process begins with ensuring equipment cleanliness, utility availability, and confirmation of required materials.

Charge the Ethanol into the glass line reactor (GLR) and anthraquinone derivatives along with other reactants are added under stirring. Heat the reaction mass up to 80–85°C. Maintain the reaction mass at 80–85°C for 360–480 minutes.

Take the in-process sample from reactor and send the in-process sample to quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by HPLC. After In-process result complies, cool the reaction mass to 20–25°C and add anti-solvent like water for initiate crystallization. Stirring continues at 20–25°C for 120–180 minutes to allow complete crystal formation. The crystallized product is filtered and washed with chilled solvent to remove impurities.

The wet product is dried in a vacuum dryer at 40–50°C for 480–600 minutes, then milled and sieved to achieve a uniform particle size.

Pack Diacerein in a clear poly bag and twist the mouth of the bag. Secure it with a PVC strip. Place this bag inside another poly bag, twist its mouth, and secure it with a PVC strip. Insert these bags into a triple-laminated aluminum bag and seal it properly. Finally, place the sealed aluminum bag in an HDPE container. Store Diacerein in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature below 30°C.

Applications of Diacerein

Therapeutic Uses
Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Diacerein is used to manage osteoarthritis by reducing joint pain and inflammation. It also helps slow down cartilage degeneration.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Diacerein works by inhibiting interleukin-1 (IL-1), a protein involved in inflammation, providing relief from chronic inflammation in joints.
Cartilage Protection
It stimulates the production of cartilage components, helping protect and repair cartilage, improving joint health.

Industrial Uses
Pharmaceutical Formulations
Diacerein is used in tablets and capsules for osteoarthritis treatment, helping to provide long-term relief with minimal side effects.
R&D and Formulation Development
It is studied for developing improved drug delivery systems, such as sustained-release formulations, to enhance its therapeutic effects and patient compliance.
