The pharmaceutical industry uses hundreds of different chemicals and compounds in its production process, making it one of the largest branches of the chemical industry. The 2023 Pharmaceutical Exhibition CPHI China summarized some commonly used pharmaceutical raw materials and basic uses.
The necessary materials for manufacturing drugs, including sterile raw materials, packaging, and additives. Sterile raw materials refer to active ingredients such as drugs and intermediates, excipients, and diluents. Packaging refers to sterilization boxes with certain specifications, bags, or tubes. Additives include lubricants such as Magnesium stearate or talc.
The first three types of raw materials can be divided into medicinal chemicals and non medicinal chemicals according to their functions.
Excipients are further divided into three types: diluents, fillers, and disintegrants. The first two are involved in the production process, but they are not part of the drug composition and do not pose any harm. Disintegrators help tablets or capsules break down during digestion, making it easier for the human body to absorb.
Lubricants help reduce friction between tablets and manufacturing equipment, avoiding cracking and loss. Coating agents can protect drugs from water loss, oxidation, or other environmental factors, and some can be used as preservatives to extend their shelf life.
Some drugs are produced in a liquid environment, but the final product is a solid. In this case, the assistance of solvents is required. Solvents usually serve as carriers during the manufacturing process, making it convenient for processing
