Meglumine, chemically defined as N-methylglucamine, is a white crystalline powder derived from glucose. Its molecular formula is C7H17NO5 (CAS No. 6284-40-8). Produced via the reaction of methylamine with D-glucose, it serves as a critical organic base in pharmaceutical synthesis.
While generally safe, high concentrations may cause local irritation; avoid inhalation of dust. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hygroscopic clumping. Strictly adhere to GMP guidelines during handling in clinical manufacturing environments.
