Prokinetic / gastrointestinal API
Itopride HCl API Manufacturer & Supplier
Apex Pharma API is an Itopride Hydrochloride API manufacturer and supplier based in India, producing bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient for pharmaceutical formulation companies and distributors. We manufacture Itopride Hydrochloride in-house at our Saykha GIDC plant to the documentation and quality standards B2B buyers rely on when qualifying a new supplier.
What is Itopride Hydrochloride API?
Itopride Hydrochloride (CAS No. 122892-31-3) is a benzamide-derivative gastroprokinetic agent with a dual mechanism of action rather than a single pathway. It acts as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist — removing the inhibitory brake that dopamine places on gastrointestinal motility — and it inhibits acetylcholinesterase, increasing acetylcholine availability at muscarinic receptors on gut smooth muscle and directly enhancing peristaltic contraction. The combined effect of these two independent mechanisms is a stronger prokinetic action than a single-mechanism agent typically achieves.
For a formulator, the practical point is that itopride is a repeat-demand generic molecule where a reproducible impurity profile and reliable delivery matter as much as price when placing recurring orders. Apex Pharma API manufactures and supplies the API itself, not the finished product.
Itopride Hydrochloride API manufacturing at Apex Pharma API
We have manufactured Itopride Hydrochloride in-house since 2015 at our Saykha GIDC plant in Bharuch, on an established route that keeps the impurity profile steady from campaign to campaign. Production runs in a 4 KL stainless-steel reactor, so we supply from evaluation samples through to repeat commercial volumes. Our complete product range and general sourcing process are covered on our API manufacturing page.
Applications and uses
Itopride Hydrochloride API is formulated into gastroprokinetic medicines used to treat functional dyspepsia and related conditions involving delayed gastric emptying — symptoms such as bloating, early satiety and upper abdominal discomfort. Its dual mechanism enhances gastrointestinal motility through two independent physiological pathways simultaneously, which distinguishes it pharmacologically from single-mechanism prokinetic agents. This is general pharmacological context for buyer understanding, not a claim about the specific finished products manufactured by our customers.
Industries and customers we serve
Itopride Hydrochloride API from Apex Pharma API is supplied to pharmaceutical formulation manufacturers developing gastrointestinal-therapy tablets, to distributors supplying API onward within their own network, and to R&D and generic-development teams needing API for formulation trials ahead of scale-up. Our full buyer-segment breakdown is on the API manufacturing companies in India page.

Itopride Hydrochloride API — frequently asked questions
What is Itopride Hydrochloride API used for?
It is formulated into gastroprokinetic medicines that treat functional dyspepsia and related upper-GI motility disorders, enhancing gastric motility through dopamine D2 receptor antagonism and acetylcholinesterase inhibition.
What is the CAS number for Itopride Hydrochloride?
The CAS number is 122892-31-3, the public chemical registry identifier for the molecule.
How is Itopride different from other prokinetic agents?
Its dual mechanism — blocking dopamine's inhibitory effect on gut motility while also increasing acetylcholine availability — gives it a stronger combined prokinetic action than single-mechanism agents.
What grades of Itopride Hydrochloride API do you supply?
USP, EP and in-house specification grades, against the applicable pharmacopoeial monograph. Tell us your target market and we will confirm the right grade for your dossier.
Is a Certificate of Analysis provided with each batch?
Yes. A batch-wise Certificate of Analysis is issued as standard with every despatch, alongside the MSDS, specification sheet and method of analysis.
Is a DMF available for Itopride Hydrochloride API?
DMF documentation is available on request — tell us your destination market and filing type and we will confirm what we can provide.
What is the minimum order quantity?
We supply from trial quantities upward. The commercial MOQ is confirmed against your grade and packaging requirement at quotation — it is not a fixed number across all buyers.
