Abstract:
Lapatinib is an anticancer used for treatment of the patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer in conjunction with the chemotherapy drug capecitabine or with letrozole for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. This comprehensive profile of Lapatinib gives more detailed information about the description, formulae, Elemental Analysis, Uses and application. Furthermore, methods and schemes are outlined for the preparation of the drug substance. The physical properties of the medication include constant of ionization, solubility, X-ray powder diffraction pattern, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal conduct and spectroscopic studies are investigated. The methods employed in bulk medicines and/or in pharmaceutical formulations to analyze the drug substance include spectrophotometric, electrochemical and the chromatographic methods are indicated. Other studies on this drug substance include drug stability, pharmaceutical applications, mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, and a dosing information are also reviewed.
