China pharmaceutical intermediates industry report: the next few years will maintain

Pharmaceutical intermediates Industry definition

Pharmaceutical intermediates are important raw materials for pharmaceutical production. It refers to a class of intermediates of chemical or biological products with certain pharmacological activity or biological activity formed from raw materials of drug synthesis through chemical, biosynthesis, biological fermentation and other processes in order to meet the needs of clinical drug use.

Pharmaceutical intermediates are compounds that undergo a series of chemical reactions during the pharmaceutical process, but have not yet become the final drug. They are usually produced at an intermediate stage in the synthetic pharmaceutical process and are used to synthesize the final active drug molecule. Pharmaceutical intermediates play a crucial role in drug development and production because they act as a bridge between chemical synthesis and drug activity.

Pharmaceutical intermediates industry classification

1. Alkaloids: This class of intermediates includes various alkaloids, such as morphine, codeine, opioids, etc., which usually have pharmacological effects such as analgesia, sedation, and cough relief.

2. Steroids: This class of intermediates includes a variety of steroids, such as estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, etc., which are usually used to treat diseases such as female hormone disorders and male sexual dysfunction.

3. Antibiotics: This class of intermediates includes various antibiotics, such as penicillin, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, etc., which are commonly used to treat infectious diseases.

4. Drug synthesis intermediates: These intermediates are the basic raw materials used to synthesize various drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc., which usually have pharmacological effects such as antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and so on.

5. Other categories: In addition to the above categories of pharmaceutical intermediates, it also includes various auxiliary drugs, drug metabolites, drug by-products, etc.
