Products Description
what Is Etoricoxib ?
Etoricoxib is a synthetic selective cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) inhibitor active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). It belongs to the coxib subgroup of non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It demonstrates high selectivity towards COX‑2 over COX‑1 enzyme. This raw material is widely adopted by pharmaceutical manufacturers, CRO labs and research institutes for oral solid dosage form development, generic registration batches, preclinical mechanism research and analytical QC validation. We supply GMP-grade powder with consistent crystal form, tight impurity control and complete regulatory documentation packages to support ANDA, DMF and local drug registration projects worldwide.
Applications Of Etoricoxib
1.Film-coated tablet formulation & generic drug manufacturing
Etoricoxib API is the core active raw material for the development and commercial production of oral film-coated tablets. Formulation teams carry out powder blending, granulation, tableting and coating process development. Multiple strength specifications (30mg, 60mg, 90mg, 120mg) can be developed according to pharmacopoeia requirements. It is used for generic solid oral dosage form projects of selective COX-2 inhibitor products.
2.Preclinical pharmacology & COX‑2 enzyme mechanism research
Supplied to university labs, CRO and pharmacological research institutions as a reference compound for COX‑2 / COX‑1 selectivity studies, prostaglandin pathway research, anti-inflammatory and analgesic mechanism evaluation, in-vivo PK/PD modelling and comparative screening with other coxib APIs.
3.Analytical method validation & QC laboratory testing
Qualified Etoricoxib powder can be used as working reference standard for pharmaceutical QC labs. It supports HPLC method validation, system suitability, impurity quantification, LOQ/LOD verification and routine incoming raw material inspection aligned with USP and EP standards.
4.Bioequivalence (BE) batches & registration stability studies
Bulk Etoricoxib API is supplied for registration stability batches, accelerated stability testing and BE clinical trial batches for generic drug applicants. Batch release data, impurity trend and stability reports can be provided to support regulatory dossiers submission in different regions.

Benefits of Etoricoxib
1.High purity Etoricoxib crystalline powder with stable Form I polymorph, consistent batch-to-batch performance for tablet compression.
2.Superior COX‑2 selectivity profile, well‑characterized impurity profile complying with USP & EP monograph limits.
3.Good powder flow property and formulation compatibility, suitable for film-coated tablet manufacturing.
4.Long plasma half-life supports once-daily dosing formulation design for generic developers.
5.Flexible MOQ: small trial batches for lab R&D, registration batches and commercial bulk supply available.
6.Full document package including COA, TDS, SDS, heavy metals, residual solvent reports to simplify drug registration submission.
Pharmacological Safety & Adverse Reaction Profile (For R&D Reference Only)
This adverse reaction summary is for pharmaceutical formulation, preclinical and dossier reference only. It is NOT medical advice for patients. Final prescribing information shall follow the official monograph and local regulatory package insert.
Etoricoxib is a selective COX‑2 inhibitor NSAID. The adverse event profile is compiled based on published clinical literature and official drug labeling, for R&D team reference during formulation development, risk assessment and registration dossier preparation.
