Balsalazide
A prodrug of mesalazine used in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis: it is almost inactive until, in the colon, it is split into mesalazine and 4-aminobenzoyl-beta-alanine. It has been in use since the late 1990s, first approved in the United Kingdom. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?The two halves are joined by an azo bond (N=N), the same bond that defines azo dyes: it is broken by the gut bacteria of the colon, which release the medicine right where it is needed.
