16 DPA (16-Dehydropregnenolone Acetate) Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a 16 DPA (16-Dehydropregnenolone Acetate) manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for 16-DPA production, including the cost of 16-DPA production, 16-DPA plant cost, 16-DPA production costs, and the overall 16-DPA manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a 16-DPA production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

16-DPA (16-Dehydro Pregneolone acetate) is a steroidal compound that works as a medium in the production of many semisynthetic steroids. 16-DPA is structurally related to pregnenolone, and the acetate group present in it improves its stability and solubility, making it suitable for steroid synthesis.

It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, serving as a precursor to steroid hormones like corticosteroids, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, progestogens, etc. 16-DPA is also used in nutraceutical and herbal medicine sectors, incorporated into various formulations of products that support hormonal balance and reproductive health. It is used in research that studies steroidogenesis and the effects of steroid hormones on various biological processes. 16-DPA function as a precursor makes it explored extensively for the study of other steroid hormones.

The market for 16-DPA is mainly driven by its crucial role as a precursor in the synthesis of various steroid hormones, including corticosteroids, progestogens, and androgens. Increasing health issues like hormonal imbalances, inflammatory disorders, and reproductive health problems have resulted in the growing demand for steroid-based medications. Its use in nutraceutical and herbal medicine formulations that promote health and wellness further contributes to its market.

The ongoing research on 16-DPA's use in potential applications can further enhance its demand. Hence, 16-DPA's use as a precursor in various steroid production and its use in nutraceutical and herbal medicines, along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influences industrial 16-DPA procurement in the market across the globe.

Raw Material for 16 DPA (16-Dehydropregnenolone Acetate)

According to the 16-DPA manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of 16-DPA include diosgenin-acetic anhydride-toluene/benzene.

Manufacturing Process of 16 DPA (16-Dehydropregnenolone Acetate)

The extensive 16-DPA production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Diosgenin, Acetic and Anhydride, and Toluene/Benzene: The manufacturing process of 16-DPA consists of several steps. First, diosgenin is subjected to an acetylation reaction. In this reaction, diosgenin is heated into a pressure reactor in a solvent like toluene or benzene, with acetic anhydride as the acetylating agent. The product is purified using crystallization or chromatography to isolate 16-DPA. The final product is carefully tested for quality control to ensure its purity and potency and packaged for distribution.

16-Dehydropregnenolone acetate (16-DPA) is a white crystalline powder with a melting point ranging from 166 to 178°C. Its molecular weight is 356.5 g/mol. It has three hydrogen bond acceptors, no hydrogen bond donors, and three rotatable bonds. It is a key intermediate in the synthesis of various steroid hormones, including corticosteroids, progestogens, androgens. It is stored at room temperature in a sealed, dry container to maintain its stability and efficacy.
