UNSPSC 51391613: Isometheptene bitartrate

This classification denotes an alpha-adrenergic agonist with the molecular formula C9H19N.C4H6O6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier C4625WF7BM, chemically known as 5-hepten-2-amine, n,6-dimethyl-, (r-(r*,r*))-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1) (9ci) but more generally known as isometheptene bitartrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 22296. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule isometheptene bitartrate under HS 29211980 and SITC 51451.

As of Q4 2014, ISOMETHEPTENE BITARTRATE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Isometheptene bitartrate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0770466 and NCI Concept Code C87580. SMILES: CC(CCC=C(C)C)NC.[C@@H]([C@H](C(=O)O)O)(C(=O)O)O.

UNSPSC 51391613 Isometheptene bitartrate, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific pharmaceutical compound used in combination migraine treatments, but recent solicitations tagged under this code do not actually procure isometheptene bitartrate. Instead, state and local buyers have posted opportunities for naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and pharmacy benefit program services unrelated to the code's stated scope, indicating a likely tagging mismatch or data error in the underlying procurement records.

The two recent opportunities in the record originate from Seminole County, Florida (an IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, response due July 26, 2023) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (an RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, response due April 3, 2026). Neither solicitation aligns with procurement of isometheptene bitartrate or related migraine medications. The Seminole County opportunity seeks naloxone units and related harm-reduction equipment, while the Texas HHS RFI gathers market intelligence on pharmacy benefit management models. Without additional recent opportunities correctly tagged to this code, the actual state and local procurement demand for isometheptene bitartrate cannot be assessed from available records.
