Manufacturing process of Latanoprost
Before starting the process operation, ensure the cleanliness of all equipment, verify that all utilities are available, and confirm the availability of raw materials and packing materials.
Charge acetonitrile to the glass pot and charge the Latanoprost intermediates and reagents under stirring. Stir the reaction mass for 10-15 minutes. Maintain the reaction mass at 25–30°C for 360–480 minutes,
Take in-process sample from reaction mass and send in-process sample to Quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by HPLC. After the reaction, the product is purified by extracting it with an appropriate solvent system. Crystallization is initiated by adding an anti-solvent to the product mixture and cooling it to 5–10°C. The product is filtered and washed with chilled solvent to remove impurities. The product is then dried under vacuum at -10°C to -20°C.
Pack Latanoprost 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 Latanoprost in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature of -20°C to -10°C.
