Understand the Pharmaceutical Intermediate Industry

 

Pharmaceutical intermediates

The so-called pharmaceutical intermediates, in fact, is the drug in the synthesis process requires the use of chemical raw materials or chemical products. Such chemical products, without obtaining a drug production license can be produced in ordinary chemical plants, as long as the technical indicators meet certain level requirements, can be used to participate in the synthesis and production of drugs. Although the synthesis of drugs also belongs to the chemical class, but more stringent than the general requirements of chemical products. Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and APIs need to accept GMP certification, while manufacturers of intermediates do not need to, because intermediates are only the synthesis and production of chemical raw materials, which are the most basic and bottom products in the drug production chain and cannot be called drugs, so they do not need GMP certification, which also lowers the entry threshold of the industry for intermediates manufacturers.


A Text to Understand the Pharmaceutical Intermediate Industry


Pharmaceutical intermediate industry

It refers to those chemical enterprises that produce and process organic/inorganic intermediates or APIs for pharmaceutical companies in accordance with strict quality standards by chemical synthesis or biosynthesis methods for manufacturing finished drugs. Here the pharmaceutical intermediates are divided into CMO, CRO two sub-industries.


CMO

Contract Manufacturing Organization refers to the contract manufacturing enterprise, which means that the pharmaceutical company will outsource the production process to the partner. The business chain of pharmaceutical CMO industry generally starts from specialized pharmaceutical raw materials. Industry companies need to purchase basic chemical raw materials and sort and process them into specialized pharmaceutical raw materials, and then process them gradually to form API starting materials, cGMP intermediates, APIs and formulations. At present, major multinational pharmaceutical companies tend to establish long-term strategic partnerships with a few core suppliers, and the survival of companies in the industry is basically evident through their partners.


CRO

Contract (Clinical) Research Organization refers to the commissioning of contract research institutions, pharmaceutical companies will outsource research links to partners. At present, the industry mainly takes custom production, custom R&D and pharmaceutical contract research and sales as the main way of cooperation, no matter which way it is, whether the pharmaceutical intermediates products are innovative products or not, the core competitiveness of the judging company still takes R&D technology as the first element, which is laterally reflected as the company's downstream customers or partners.

Classification of pharmaceutical intermediates

Pharmaceutical intermediates can be divided into big categories according to application fields, such as intermediates for antibiotics, intermediates for antipyretic and analgesic drugs, intermediates for cardiovascular system drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates for anti-cancer. There are many kinds of pharmaceutical intermediates, such as imidazole, furan, phenolic intermediates, aromatic intermediates, pyrrole, pyridine, biochemical reagents, sulfur-containing, nitrogen-containing, halogen compounds, heterocyclic compounds, starch, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, dextrin, ethylene glycol, sugar powder, inorganic salts, ethanol intermediates, stearate, amino acids, ethanolamine, potassium salts, sodium salts and other intermediates, etc.

How Do Power Lines Work?

图片
Electricity is delivered to homes, schools, hospitals, businesses and industries through an integrated system of power plants, power lines and substations. Transmission lines consist of heavy-duty cables wound between tall towers that carry electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed. Transmission networks allow for the transmission of large amounts of electricity over long distances.   Power systems involve the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. As the demand for electricity grew and small power plants that could only serve local areas became inadequate, the need for high-capacity transmission arose. Newer, larger power plants come online, but far from load centers. Transmission lines were the only way to get power to where it was needed.   Most long-distance power lines do not use insulation around the conductors themselves. Insulation in this way must be so thick that it is not cost effective. Instead, most of the insulation comes fro...

What are the main functions of HPMC in a dry mix mortar?

图片
    The roles of  HPMC  for  dry mix mortar In dry mix mortar, Adding a little HPMC can significantly improve the performance of wet mortar. It can be seen that HPMC is a major additive that affects the construction performance of mortar. 1. Water retention Water retention is an important property of HPMC. The viscosity, dosage, environmental temperature and molecular structure of HPMC have a greater impact on its water retention performance. Under the same conditions, the higher the viscosity of HPMC, the better the water retention; The higher content, the better the water retention. Generally, a small amount of HPMC can greatly increase the water retention rate of the mortar. When the content reaches a certain level, The trend of the water retention increasing slows down; as the ambient temperature increases, the water retention of  HPMC  usually decreases, but some modified HPMC also have better water retention under high temperature conditions; HPM...

Where can I use Automotive Connectors?

图片
  Electrical connectors   used in the automotive industry have to be tough and reliable. They are often placed in parts of an vehicle that are open to the elements, meaning they must be provide protection against dust ingress and moisture. They may also have a good degree of heat resistance. Due to the movement and vibrations within a vehicle, the connectors will often have secure locking systems built into the plug and socket to prevent unwanted disconnect. Types of Automotive Connector 1.Terminals are used to provide connection to a PCB. Wire terminals eliminate the need for soldering. 2.Board-to-Board connectors connect two PCBs together. 3.Wire-to-wire connectors connect two wires which have already been terminated, for example a crimp termination with a Ring Terminal. 4.Connector housings are available to surround and protect connections between wires, connectors and PCBs. They provide protection from the elements or may feature a secondary locking mechanism. 5.General au...
