Colestipol Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Verwenden
Colestipol is used for hypercholesterolemia (including atherosclerosis and
arterial hypertension).
Mechanism of action
Colestipol binds to bile acids, which are secreted from the organism in a form which bunds
to the ion-exchange resin. It lowers the overall level of cholesterol and cholesterol-containing
low-density lipoproteins in blood plasma while not affecting the level of high-density
lipoproteins.
Synthese
Colestipol (20.1.1) is a hydrochloride of the product of copolymerization of
epichlorohydrine with diethylentriamine that contains varying numbers of quaternary
nitrogen atoms. There is no exact formula of the product of copolymerization, but its
approximate structure can be expressed as 20.1.1.
