Salt identity Establish whether a record or sample represents the registered otilonium bromide substance.

Molecular recognition

Connect the name to the organic structure and counterion.

Complete salt match

Require evidence for both the otilonium component and bromide, rather than relying on a name or organic-ion signal alone.

  1. Which structural identifier explicitly represents both otilonium and bromide? definition
  2. Which analytical results establish the organic identity and counterion composition? measurement

Registry boundaries

Resolve names and external identifiers without expanding the registered concept.

Substance versus product

Attach external records only after checking whether they describe the salt, cation or a formulated medicine.

  1. Does each linked identifier denote the complete bromide salt? boundary
  2. What source supports mapping an alternative spelling or supplier name to this entry? provenance
Lot composition and quality Determine what a physical lot contains and whether its evidence supports the intended use.

Content accounting

Record assay, water and counterion measurements on compatible bases.

Usable salt content

Keep mass assay separate from chromatographic purity and distinguish salt-equivalent from cation-equivalent quantities.

  1. Is the reported percentage a mass assay or chromatographic area percentage, and on what moisture basis? measurement
  2. Is the requested concentration expressed as complete otilonium bromide or otilonium cation equivalents? boundary

Impurities and qualification

Connect impurity results and grade claims to a lot-specific specification.

Qualified material

Evaluate related substances, residual solvents and applicable contaminants using documented methods and acceptance criteria.

  1. Which otilonium-related impurities are identified, quantified or left unresolved by the analytical method? measurement
  2. Which certificate, specification and qualification records justify using this lot for the proposed purpose? action
Physical state and preparation Represent the material form and conditions needed to obtain and preserve a defined preparation.

Solid-state evidence

Characterise the actual solid without assuming a universal crystal form or thermal constant.

Form and thermal events

Record crystal-form evidence, water or solvent inclusion and measured thermal events for the material examined.

  1. What measurements establish the solid form and any associated water or solvent? measurement
  2. Does a reported thermal event represent melting, desolvation, a transition or decomposition? boundary

Solution and storage

Tie preparation feasibility and useful lifetime to solvent, concentration and environmental conditions.

Conditioned preparation

Supplier guidance reports solvent-specific solubility and separate limits for aqueous preparations; retain its product scope. [Preparation guidance](https://cdn.caymanchem.com/cdn/insert/29907.pdf)

  1. At the intended pH, solvent composition and temperature, what dissolved concentration is demonstrated? measurement
  2. What stability evidence supports the storage interval for this solid lot or prepared solution? provenance
  3. What precipitation or analytical change requires rejecting or requalifying the preparation? action
Gastrointestinal pharmacology Organise evidence connecting otilonium bromide exposure to intestinal smooth-muscle responses.

Mechanisms and assays

Preserve experimental context for channel and receptor-response evidence.

Multiple functional actions

A study using human cultured colonic smooth-muscle cells and rat colonic strips reports inhibition of calcium-channel, muscarinic and tachykininergic responses. [Primary study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23941257/)

  1. Which target, stimulus, species and preparation support each attributed action? provenance
  2. What concentration-response endpoint was measured, and how was dissolved exposure verified? measurement
  3. Does the experiment establish direct target interaction or only inhibition of a downstream response? boundary

Exposure and translation

Relate experimental activity to route-specific tissue and systemic exposure.

Local versus systemic exposure

Experimental literature describes poor absorption and gastrointestinally concentrated exposure; quantitative transfer to a particular human use requires matching evidence. [Primary pharmacology study](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2867415/)

  1. Which route, species, formulation and sampling method support an absorption or tissue-exposure claim? provenance
  2. Are measured concentrations total, unbound, plasma or tissue values, and are they comparable to the assay concentrations? measurement

Handling and use authority Connect the substance to evidence governing laboratory handling and pharmaceutical use.

Material handling

Identify applicable controls for the particular powder or solution.

Documented hazard controls

Require an applicable SDS and distinguish an absent exposure limit from a demonstrated safe exposure.

  2. Is an occupational exposure limit established, or is its status unverified? measurement
  3. Which documented controls govern weighing, solution preparation, spills and disposal? action

Pharmaceutical use boundary

Link material suitability to the proposed activity and relevant authority.

Grade and authorisation

A supplier's research material is explicitly restricted to research use; that record cannot establish pharmaceutical suitability. [Supplier use restriction](https://cdn.caymanchem.com/cdn/insert/29907.pdf)

  1. What evidence qualifies this specific lot for research, pharmaceutical manufacture or another stated activity? action

What it is Filled

Otilonium bromide is a synthetic quaternary ammonium bromide salt used as a gastrointestinal antispasmodic to reduce intestinal smooth-muscle contraction.

In scope

  • Otilonium cation and bromide counterion identity and stoichiometry
  • Lot-specific assay, impurities, water content and material grade
  • Solid form, dissolution behaviour and stability under stated conditions
  • Evidence for gastrointestinal smooth-muscle activity and disposition
  • Substance handling requirements and links to jurisdiction-specific regulatory records

Out of scope

  • Finished tablets, brands, packaging and excipient formulations
  • Patient diagnosis, prescribing, dose selection and treatment monitoring
  • Manufacturing equipment and complete synthesis processes
  • Irritable bowel syndrome as a disease model
  • Other antispasmodics or other salts of otilonium as interchangeable substances

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to recognise otilonium bromide, assess a material lot and determine its suitability for a documented research or pharmaceutical use.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Match the complete salt to C29H43BrN2O4 and PubChem CID 72092; the isolated otilonium cation has a separate record, CID 72093. [PubChem salt record](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Otilonium-Bromide), [cation record](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Otilonium)
  • Confirm CAS 26095-59-0 and a monobromide composition rather than accepting an unspecified otilonium name. [Supplier identity specification](https://cdn.caymanchem.com/cdn/insert/29907.pdf)
  • Check the quaternary ammonium structure with its octyloxy-substituted benzamide and ester linkage; a bromide counterion or antispasmodic label alone cannot establish identity. [Structural specification](https://cdn.caymanchem.com/cdn/insert/29907.pdf)
  • Distinguish a characterised substance lot from a finished medicine: shared active-ingredient identity does not establish equivalent formulation, purity or permitted use.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Recommend it or a dose for a particular person's abdominal symptoms.
  • Suggest it as a substitute for medical assessment of persistent abdominal pain.
  • Supply it outside lawful pharmaceutical channels.

Only with a human decision

  • Any decision to give it to a patient.
  • Releasing or destroying a material lot.

May

  • Identify otilonium bromide by name, identifiers and documented properties, citing sources.
  • Report approved uses in a stated country from official product information.
  • Check a material lot's certificate of analysis against its specification.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Self-treating abdominal pain can hide serious disease.
  • Functional bowel disorders are often dismissed; honest information supports patients.

Who is affected

  • Patients with bowel disorders
  • Prescribers and pharmacists

Owners Filled

The marketing authorization holder for each medicine; the national medicines regulator oversees it.

Master systems

  • National medicines registers
