FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a method for preparing compendial tetra(1-vinylimidazole)cobalt dichloride (Cobazol). The method involves a reaction of 1-vinylimidazole and cobalt dichloride in the molar relation of 1-vinylimidazole: CoCl2·6H2O = 4:1 at room temperature. The process is carried out in an aqueous medium at the concentration of 1-vinylimidazole 20-45%. A cobalt dichloride salt is introduced in the form of a solid crystalline hydrate added to a ligand solution in portions. The reaction is conducted for 3-8 hours. The end product is purified by water stripping in vacuum and then air elimination.
EFFECT: invention enables considerably reducing production costs, providing higher production and ecological safety with preserving higher yield of the compendial preparation Cobazol.
