How to Classify Pharmaceutical Intermediate Products?

 What Are Pharmaceutical Intermediates?

Intermediates are a very important class of fine chemical products. Essentially, an intermediate is a "semi-finished product", an intermediate in the production process of some products. For example, the production of a product can be produced from an intermediate to save costs and is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, coatings, dyes and fragrances.

In the pharmaceutical sector, pharmaceutical intermediates are an important link in the pharmaceutical industry chain. They are used in the drug synthesis process for a number of chemical raw materials or chemical products. In short, it is used in the manufacture of APIs. and pesticides, as an analytical reagent, as a reducing agent, and as an intermediate in the preparation of caprolactam. Hydroxylamine sulphate is also used in organic synthesis and in the preparation of caprolactam.

How to Classify Pharmaceutical Intermediate Products?

There are many types of pharmaceutical intermediates, which can be divided into antibiotics intermediates, antipyretic and analgesic intermediates, cardiovascular system pharmaceutical intermediates, and anti-cancer pharmaceutical intermediates. There are many types of specific pharmaceutical intermediate products, such as imidazole, furan, phenol intermediate, aromatic intermediate, pyrrole, pyridine, biochemical reagent, sulfur-containing, nitrogen-containing, halogen compound, heterocyclic compound, starch, mannitol , Microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, dextrin, glycols, powdered sugar, inorganic salts, ethanol intermediates, stearates, amino acids, ethanolamines, potassium salts, sodium salts and other intermediates, etc. 

 

In the process of drug synthesis, the raw materials and target compounds are removed, and the rest are intermediates. Various pharmaceutical and chemical intermediates are also produced when synthesizing a wide variety of drugs. Although these intermediates are different from the target compounds, their functions can often be used by people.

 

Customization of pharmaceutical intermediates is that most of the manufacturing enterprises are private enterprises, with flexible operation and small investment scale, basically between several million and ten to ten million yuan;

 

The second is that the geographical distribution of production enterprises is relatively concentrated;

 

The third is that with environmental protection With increasing attention to the problem, the pressure of manufacturing enterprises to build environmental protection treatment facilities has increased;

 

Fourth, the product update speed is fast. Generally, after a product has been on the market for 3 to 5 years, its profit margin has dropped significantly. This forces companies to continuously develop new products or continuously improve production processes to maintain high production profits;

 

Fifthly, because of the high production profits of pharmaceutical intermediates For chemical products, the production processes of the two are basically the same, so more and more small chemical companies have joined the ranks of producing pharmaceutical intermediates, resulting in increasingly fierce disorderly competition in the industry.

 

Sixth, compared with APIs, production The profit margin of intermediates is low, and the production process of APIs and pharmaceutical intermediates is similar. Therefore, some companies have not only produced intermediates, but also used their own advantages to start producing APIs.
