Doxepin [CAS: 1668-19-5], a dibenzoxepin derivative is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It has antipruritic, antidepressant, and anxiolytic properties. It treats depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

Doxepin: Use and Commercial Availability  

Doxepin, a member of the tricyclic antidepressant class, is prescribed for various conditions, including major depressive disorder, anxiety, insomnia, and skin pruritus management. The drug is available under brands such as Silenor, Sinequan, and Zonalon.

Doxepin Structure and Mechanism of Action Doxepin Structure and Mechanism of Action 

The chemical name of Doxepin is 3-Dibenz[b,e]oxepin-11(6H)-ylidene-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanamine. Its chemical formula is C19H21NO, and its molecular weight is approximately 279.3 g/mol.

Doxepin binds with the histamine H1 receptor and acts as an antagonist.

Doxepin Impurities and Synthesis

The synthesis, analysis, and control of Doxepin impurities are critical aspects in ensuring the quality of the Doxepin drug. During the manufacturing process1, unintended substances or byproducts may arise as impurities. Rigorous analysis techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), help identify and quantify these impurities. Stringent control measures help limit the presence of Doxepin impurities, adhering to regulatory guidelines and maintaining the purity and safety of Doxepin.

Daicel Pharma offers a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Doxepin impurity standards, including E-Doxepin and Z-Doxepin. They generate from an analytical facility that complies with cGMP standards. The CoA gives a detailed characterization report with data obtained through techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity analysis2. We provide additional data like 13C-DEPT upon request. Daicel Pharma is synthesizing unknown Doxepin impurities or degradation products. Every delivery has a complete characterization report.
