Diquafosol tetrasodium was approved by Pharmaceuticals Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on April 16, 2010. It was developed and marketed as Diquas® by Santen Pharmaceutical Corporation in Japan.
Diquafosol tetrasodium is a P2Y2 purinoceptor receptor agonist. It is indicated for improve dry eye symptoms by promoting secretion of mucin and water, thereby bringing the tear film closer to a normal state. No serious ocular or systemic adverse drug reactions were found during the clinical trials. Dry eye begins with symptoms of ocular discomfort such as burning, stinging or a foreign body sensation.
Diquas® is available as solution for ophthalmic use, containing 3% of Diquafosol tetrasodium. The recommended dose is 1 drop at a time, 6 times a day.
Index：
Diquafosol (tradename Diquas) is a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of dry eye disease. It was approved for use in Japan in 2010.[1] It is formulated as a 3% ophthalmic solution of the tetrasodium salt.
Its mechanism of action involves agonism of the P2Y2 purinogenic receptor.[2]

INS-365 can also been obtained by the following ways: 4) Dimerization of uridine-5′-monophosphate tributyl-ammonium salt (I) with bis(tributylammonium) pyrophosphate (II) by means of CDI, followed by purification by semipreparative ion璭xchange chromatography. 5) Dimerization of uridine-5′-monophosphate tributyl-ammonium salt (I) with pyrophosphoryl chloride (III) in pyridine, followed by chromatographic purification as before. 6) Condensation of uridine (IV) with POCl3 and bis(tributylammonium) pyrophosphate (II) by means of tributylamine in trimethyl phosphate, followed by chromatographic purification as before. 7) Dimerization of uridine-5′-diphosphate tributylammonium salt (V) by means of CDI in DMF, followed by purification over Dowex 50Wx4 Na+. 8) Condensation of uridine-5′-triphosphate tributylammonium salt (VI) with uridine-5′-monophosphate tributyl-ammonium salt (I) by means of DCC in DMF, followed by chromatographic purification as before. 9) Reaction of uridine-5′-monophosphate tributylammonium salt (I) with CDI in DMF, followed by condensation with uridine-5′-triphosphate (VI) and chromatographic purification as before.

A scalable and practical route to synthesize the P2Y2 receptor agonist diquafosol tetrasodium has been described. Diquafosol tetrasodium was obtained via a four-step process starting from commercially available 5′-uridylic acid disodium salt. The whole procedure gives the target product in a 45% overall yield with high purity (>99%). Key steps in this process including isolation of impurities and the target product by using anion-exchange resin are discussed in detail. The optimized process has been successfully demonstrated on a large scale to support the development of diquafosol tetrasodium in China.
