Isosorbide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

off-white to light yellow or beige crystals,

Uses

pharmaceutical intermediate for dimethyl ether and mono- and dinitrate derivatives; the nitrate esters find use as vasodilators and coronary disease therapeutics.

Uses

D-Isosorbide is used as a reagent in the preparation of detergents, agrochemicals, cleansers, cosmetics and vasodilators. It is also employed as a pharmaceutical intermediate for dimethyl ether and mono- and dinitrate derivatives, which is used as vasodilators and coronary disease therapeutics. It is used in the treatment of hydrocephalus and glaucoma. It finds application as a building block for polymers like polycarbonates and polyesters.

Uses

Isosorbide is a reagent widely used to prepare detergents, cleansers, cosmetics, agrochemicals and vasodilators.

Definition

A polyol with a hydroxyl group attached to each of two cis-oriented saturated furan rings. Intermediate for pharmaceuticals. Combustible.

brand name

Ismotic (Alcon).

Biological Functions

emergency treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma. It should not be confused with isosorbide dinitrate, an antianginal drug.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Clinical Use

Isosorbide is basically a bicyclic form of sorbitol that is used orally to cause a reduction in intraocular pressure in glaucoma cases. Although a diuretic effect is noted, its ophthalmologic properties are its primary value.
