Products Description
What Is Saxagliptin BMS-477118?
Saxagliptin (BMS-477118) is a potent, selective, reversible, and orally active inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) .
Originally approved for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Saxagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which prolongs the half-life of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), thereby stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release.

FAQ
Q: What is the CAS number of Saxagliptin and which form do I need?
A:Free base: CAS 361442-04-8 for general research.
Hydrate: CAS 945667-22-1 for standard reference.
Hydrochloride (HCl): CAS 709031-78-7 with higher water solubility for in vivo studies.
Q: Which pharmacopeia standards does your Saxagliptin API comply with?
A: Our Saxagliptin API (BMS-477118) is manufactured in strict compliance with current USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) standards. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying its compliance with international quality criteria.
Q: Is your Saxagliptin API supplied as the monohydrate or anhydrous form?
A: We commercially supply Saxagliptin Monohydrate which is the thermodynamically stable crystalline form utilized in the innovator drug (Onglyza). This ensures bioequivalence and formulation stability during blending and tableting. Custom crystalline or amorphous forms can be evaluated upon request.
Q: What is the commercial scale capability and MOQ for Saxagliptin BMS-477118?
A: Our state-of-the-art facility supports seamless scaling from gram-scale samples for R&D/pilot trials to multi-kilogram commercial batches for large-scale generic manufacturing. Our standard commercial Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) starts at 1 kg, with flexible arrangements for early-stage formulation development.
Q: Can Saxagliptin be used for human therapeutic purposes?
A: No. For research use only.
