Pharmaceutical ingredients, usually refers to the active substances or combinations of them that make up a Pharmaceutical ingredients, which play a role in the treatment, prevention, diagnosis or improvement of physiological function in the Pharmaceutical ingredients. Specifically, pharmaceutical ingredients can be further subdivided into the following categories:
1. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)
This is a key part of the Pharmaceutical ingredients that is biologically active and can interact directly with the body's physiological or pathological processes to produce a therapeutic effect. For example, amoxicillin in antibiotics, valsartan in antihypertensive Pharmaceutical ingredientss and so on.
2. Auxiliary ingredients
Although these ingredients are not directly involved in the therapeutic effect, they have an important impact on the preparation, stability, effectiveness or acceptance of the Pharmaceutical ingredients by the patient. Includes:
Diluent or filler: used to increase the volume or quality of the Pharmaceutical ingredients, easy to process and take, such as starch, lactose, etc.
Adhesives: Used in preparations to help ingredients bond to form, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Disintegrators: promote the rapid release of Pharmaceutical ingredientss in the body, such as crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
Lubricants: Reduce friction during Pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturing, such as magnesium stearate.
Colorants: Color medications to facilitate identification and improve patient compliance.
Flavoring agents: Improve the taste of Pharmaceutical ingredientss, especially common in children's Pharmaceutical ingredientss.
Surfactants: improve the wettability and solubility of Pharmaceutical ingredientss.
Preservative: prevent the Pharmaceutical ingredients from deteriorating and extend the shelf life.
Stabilizer: keep the chemical properties of the Pharmaceutical ingredients stable and prevent degradation.
Flow aid: to promote the fluidity of the Pharmaceutical ingredients, easy to produce and packaging.
Plasticizers: increase the flexibility and plasticity of the Pharmaceutical ingredients.
Enteric coating: Protects the Pharmaceutical ingredients from gastric acid damage and ensures release in the intestine.
Film coating: Covers the surface of the pill to control Pharmaceutical ingredients release speed or improve taste.
New Pharmaceutical ingredients delivery system carriers such as microcapsules/microspheres/liposomes: improve Pharmaceutical ingredients targeting, stability and bioavailability.
3. Impurities
Non-target compounds produced during Pharmaceutical ingredients production require strict control of their content to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Pharmaceutical ingredients.
4. Other additives
Depending on the needs of the particular Pharmaceutical ingredients, other special ingredients may be added, such as antioxidants, chelating agents, etc.
In summary, pharmaceutical ingredients are a complex and precise combination, each with its own specific role, working together to ensure the Pharmaceutical ingredients's efficacy, safety, and patient compliance.
