  • Stable liquid form of 5-aminosalicylic acid
    Patent number: 5010069
    Abstract: An aqueous solution of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and a nontoxic alkali, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of 5-aminosalicylic acid having a pH of 3-5 is disclosed. The sole buffer in the solution is that intrinsically formed by 5-aminosalicylic acid and its alkali, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt. The solutions preferably also contain an antioxidant and a metal complexing agent. In preferrred practice, the 5-ASA salt is formed in situ by addition of an alkali, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide to a solution of 5-ASA. The solution is stable and does not significantly discolor due to 5-ASA decomposition for extended periods of time.
