Minoxidil sulphate (CAS 83701-22-8) is the sulfate salt derivative of minoxidil, primarily utilized as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. Its molecular formula is C9H15N5O4S. The core manufacturing process involves the sulfation reaction of minoxidil with sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and stability for downstream drug formulations.
This compound requires storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during handling due to potential skin irritation. It is strictly an industrial intermediate and not intended for direct clinical administration without further processing.
