[0002] Allergic rhinitis refers to a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that occurs when an atopic individual is exposed to allergens, mainly mediated by IgE (mainly histamine) and involves the release of mediators. It also involves a variety of immune active cells and cytokines.
[0003] Chlorpheniramine maleate is an anti-allergic drug, which is effective for nasal congestion caused by allergic rhinitis and upper respiratory tract infection. It can also be used for colds or sinusitis and skin mucosal allergies. This drug is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, which can counteract capillary dilation caused by allergic reactions, reduce capillary permeability, and relieve wheezing caused by bronchial smooth muscle contraction. In addition, this drug also has central inhibition and anti-M cholinergic receptor effects.
[0004] 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indolizine chloride is an impurity produced by the degradation of chlorpheniramine maleate. This impurity may remain in the final product of chlorpheniramine maleate and affect the product quality. Its structural formula is shown in Figure 2 .
