[0002] Granisetron hydrochloride, as a first-line drug for postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, belongs to 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, and its dosage forms include injection, tablet, patch and gel, etc. In the "Chinese Expert Consensus on Drug Treatment Related Nausea and Vomiting (2022 Edition)", it is described that granisetron hydrochloride injection can be effectively used to intervene in the chemotherapy-induced vomiting symptoms of patients when it is dripped half an hour before the administration of chemotherapy drugs. Impurity E is a starting material introduced in the preparation of granisetron hydrochloride, and according to the test results of the influencing factors of the preparation, impurity E has a growth trend under light conditions.
