    Pioglitazone hydrochloride
    Can anyone tell me the pH and functional group of pioglitazone hydrochloride? It is also known as Actos and is a medication used for type 2 diabetes.

    Well, I can say there are a lot of functional groups...

    We have:
    Alkyl groups
    Phenyl groups
    Carbonyl groups
    An amine group
    Ether group
    A pyridin derivative
    A sulfide group

    I don't know the exact pH, but it should be slightly alkaline, since it naturally secreted in bile, which is slightly alkaline, or practically neutral. It should be around pH 7.
