What is Clomiphene Citrate?
Chemical properties
White crystalline powder with a melting point range of 116.5-118°C. It has slight solubility in ethanol, chloroform, and water, but is insoluble in ether.
Originator
Clomid,Lepetit,Italy,1966
The Uses of Clomiphene Citrate
Selective estrogen receptor modulator, which acts by inhibiting the action of estrogen on the pituitary. Clomiphene Citrate is an activator of PKC and Gonad-stimulating principle.
The Uses of Clomiphene Citrate
Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that impairs the activation of estrogen receptors (ERs) by 17β-estradiol. It potently binds both ERα and ERβ (Ki = 0.9 and 1.2 nM, respectively). Clomiphene enhances the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, stimulating the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, culminating in ovulation.
Manufacturing Process
A mixture of 20 g of 1-[p-(β-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylethanol
in 200 cc of ethanol containing an excess of hydrogen chloride was refluxed 3
hours. The solvent and excess hydrogen chloride were removed under
vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and
methylene chloride. 1-[p-(β-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylethylene
hydrochloride was obtained, melting at 148° to 157°C. This hydrochloride salt
was treated with N-chlorosuccinimide in dry chloroform under reflux. The
product then obtained was converted to the free base and treated with citric
acid. The dihydrogen citrate salt of 1-[p-(β-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-
diphenylchloroethylene was obtained, melting at 116.5° to 118°C.
The intermediate 1-[p-(β-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylethanol was
obtained by treating 4-(β-diethylaminoethoxy)benzophenone with
benzylmagnesium chloride. It melted at 95° to 96°C.
