2026-01-21

Yichang, China – Yichang Tianrui Biopharm Co., Ltd., a high-potency and specialty API manufacturer under the global Humanwell Healthcare Group, is proud to announce a significant advancement for its Landiolol Hydrochloride (CAS: 144481-98-1) API. The company has successfully obtained the "I" (Under Inspection) status for its Landiolol Hydrochloride drug dossier from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

This "I" designation is a definitive regulatory signal, confirming that the CDE has formally initiated the review and inspection process for the associated Drug Master File (DMF). This milestone is the critical step immediately preceding the on-site Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection. It unequivocally indicates that Yichang Tianrui Biopharm is on an accelerated pathway to securing full China NMPA GMP certification for its Landiolol Hydrochloride manufacturing facilities. For partners worldwide, this means access to a cGMP-compliant, audit-ready API source is imminent.

Landiolol Hydrochloride: The Ultra-Short-Acting Beta-Blocker for Precision Control
Landiolol Hydrochloride is a highly selective, ultra-short-acting β1-adrenergic receptor blocker revolutionizing the management of perioperative and critical care arrhythmias, particularly tachycardia. Its distinct pharmacological profile offers superior advantages in clinical settings requiring rapid, precise, and reversible heart rate control:

  • Ultra-Short Half-Life & Rapid Onset: With an exceptionally short half-life of approximately 3-4 minutes, Landiolol allows for immediate titration and near-instantaneous reversal of effects upon discontinuation. This provides clinicians with unparalleled precision in managing acute tachycardia without the prolonged effects of traditional beta-blockers.
  • High Cardioselectivity: Landiolol exhibits one of the highest β1-selectivity profiles among beta-blockers. This minimizes unwanted β2-mediated effects, such as bronchoconstriction and peripheral vasoconstriction, making it a safer option for a broader patient population, including those with mild to moderate respiratory comorbidities.
  • Ideal for Critical Care & Surgery: Its rapid titratability makes it the agent of choice for controlling atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sinus tachycardia during surgeries (especially cardiovascular procedures), in intensive care units (ICUs), and for emergency settings. It stabilizes hemodynamics without compromising the ability to quickly adjust therapy.
