Esomeprazole Magnesium Dihydrate is the magnesium salt form of the S-isomer of omeprazole, classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by selectively inhibiting the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells, effectively suppressing gastric acid secretion. This API is extensively used in the formulation of medications for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
At Bluepill Express, we manufacture and export high-purity Esomeprazole Magnesium Dihydrate API that complies with IP, BP, USP, and EP pharmacopeial standards. With a reputation for consistency, purity, and international quality compliance, our Esomeprazole API is widely used by global pharmaceutical companies for oral formulations such as enteric-coated tablets, capsules, and granules.
Our production process follows WHO-GMP and cGMP guidelines, ensuring batch-to-batch uniformity, precise particle size distribution, and excellent stability suitable for high-performance formulation development. Each batch is carefully analyzed by our in-house QC/QA team, using HPLC, IR, and titration methods to ensure complete compliance with international standards.
Pharmacological Information:
- Therapeutic Category: Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)
- Pharmacological Class: Gastric Acid Secretion Inhibitor
- CAS Number: 217087-10-0
- Molecular Formula: (C17H18N3O3S)2Mg·xH2O
- Molecular Weight: Approx. 767.2 g/mol (anhydrous basis)
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder

- Storage Conditions: Store below 25°C, protected from light and moisture
- Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Mechanism of Action:
Esomeprazole, the S-enantiomer of omeprazole, acts by irreversibly inhibiting the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase enzyme system located in the gastric parietal cell membrane. By blocking this final step of acid production, it reduces both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, leading to significant and sustained suppression of stomach acidity.
This targeted mechanism makes Esomeprazole an effective and long-lasting treatment for acid-related disorders, offering better bioavailability and prolonged acid suppression compared to other PPIs.
