Pharmaceutical intermediates are fine chemicals that are intermediate compounds produced during the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Intermediates are the by-products of the reactions in the API production process. Carbonyl, Chloro, Nitro, 2-iodo-1-p-tolyl-propan-1-one, Nitrile etc. are the usual types of intermediates for APIs. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are the energetic constituent within any pharmaceutical product that produces the needed quality and consequence in the human body for treatment like diabetes.
Intermediate goods, also known as producer goods or semi-finished products, are usually traded between companies, such as when a producer sells to a manufacturer. A material produced during steps of the processing of a Drug Substance/API, which must undergo further molecular change or purification before it becomes a Drug Substance/API. An intermediate process is where the production cycle has begun and the materials are in progress. You may also be interested in Gallium(III) oxide, 3-(1-Naphthoyl)indole.
