Categories of pharmaceutical intermediates

Classified by application field

According to the application field, pharmaceutical intermediates can be divided into antibiotic drug intermediates, antipyretic and analgesic pharmaceutical intermediates, cardiovascular system pharmaceutical intermediates, anti-cancer pharmaceutical intermediates and other large categories. There is a wide range of specific pharmaceutical intermediates, Such as imidazole, furan, phenolic intermediates, aromatic intermediates, pyrrole, pyridine, biochemical reagents, sulfur containing, ammonia containing, halogen compounds, heterocyclic compounds, starch, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, dextrin, glycol, sugar powder, inorganic salts, ethanol intermediates, stearates, amino acids, ethanolamines, potassium salts, sodium salts and other intermediates.

Classified by technical content

Pharmaceutical intermediates are subdivided into primary intermediates and advanced intermediates according to technical content. As primary intermediate suppliers can only provide simple intermediate production, they are at the front of the industrial chain, with the greatest competitive pressure and price pressure, and the price fluctuations of basic chemical raw materials have a greater impact on them, while advanced intermediate suppliers not only have a strong bargaining power for primary suppliers, but more importantly, because they are responsible for the production of advanced intermediates with higher technical content. It maintains closer ties with multinational companies, so it is less affected by fluctuations in raw material prices.
