Tacrolimus

CAS: 104987-11-3

1. Basic Information

Name: Tacrolimus
Alias: FK506, (3S,4R,5S,6R,7E,9R,10R,12R,14S,15E,17E,19E,21S)-5,6,12,14-Tetrahydroxy-3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,21,22-dodecahydro-8-methoxy-3,4,10-trimethyl-23-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,7-dioxo-1,17-seco-3,19-cyclo-23,24-dinorhomo-1H-indo[3,2-c][1,4]oxaazacyclohenicosine-18-carboxylic acid
CAS No.: 104987-11-3
Molecular Formula: C44H69NO12
Molecular Weight: 804.02
Category: Macrolide immunosuppressant API, transplant anti-rejection drug raw material

2. Physical and Chemical Properties

Physical Properties

  1. Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
  2. Odor: Odorless
  3. Solubility: Soluble in methanol, ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane; slightly soluble in hexane; practically insoluble in water
  4. Melting Range: 113–115 ℃
  5. Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
  6. Aqueous Property: Neutral macrolide, insoluble in water, stable in neutral organic solvents

Chemical Properties

  1. Molecular structure: Large polycyclic macrolide containing multiple hydroxyl, ether, ketone, double bond functional groups
  2. Hydroxyl reactivity: Hydroxyl groups can undergo acylation, silylation protection for derivative synthesis
  3. Double bond characteristics: Multiple conjugated double bonds, easy to oxidize under light and air
  4. Optical activity: Multiple chiral centers, high optical purity required for pharmaceutical use
  5. Thermal stability: Stable below 100 ℃; overheating triggers oxidation and decomposition to form related impurities
  6. Photostability: Highly light-sensitive; UV irradiation rapidly produces colored oxidative impurities
  7. Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid/alkali

3. Main Application Fields

1. Organ Transplant Immunosuppressant API (Core Application)

Clinical core drug for kidney, liver, heart and other solid organ transplantation, inhibits T lymphocyte activity to reduce postoperative graft rejection; also used for refractory atopic dermatitis topical preparations

2. Immunology Research Reagent

Laboratory tool for immune cell signal pathway research, calcineurin inhibition mechanism study

3. Pharmacopoeia Reference Standard

HPLC standard for related substance and enantiomer detection in tacrolimus production quality control

Safety Warning

Immunosuppressive toxic pharmaceutical powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory mucosa; skin absorption may affect immune function. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator and nitrile chemical-resistant gloves. Strict prescription controlled drug, arbitrary oral/skin use may cause infection, renal toxicity, hypertension and other side effects. Waste liquid neutralized before discharge; solid waste classified as high-risk pharmaceutical hazardous waste, disposed by licensed professional institutions.
