Physical description & handling notes

• White solid from hot water
• 102-104 °C; also as MP 103-105 °C from benzene-light petroleum
• Solubule in methanol
• Stable under recommended storage conditions.
• Pirfenidone is a novel agent with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifibrotic properties. It may improve lung function and reduce the number of acute exacerbations in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
• Oral: capsules, 267 mg, Esbriet (InterMune)

GHS Hazard Classification

Reported hazard statements	H302 (100%)

Documented Uses

• Prepd by phenylation of 5-methyl-2-pyridinone: S.M. Gadekar, United States of American patent 3839364 (1974 to Affiliates Med. Res.).
• By phytochemical rearrangement of N-phenyl-6-methylpyridinium-3-olate.
• Pirfenidone is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In Canada and Europe, it is approved in adults only.
• Pirfenidone is an orally available pyridinone derivative that inhibits collagen formation and is used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Elevations in serum enzyme levels during pirfenidone therapy are not uncommon, but it has yet to be implicated in cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.
• Esbriet is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). /Included in US product label/
• Cigarette smoking reduces peak plasma concentrations and systemic exposure to pirfenidone by 32 and 54%, respectively. The manufacturer recommends that patients be encouraged to stop smoking prior to initiation of pirfenidone and to avoid smoking during therapy.
