Acetohexamide is an organic chemical with applications mainly associated with the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It is widely used as a drug for the management of blood sugar levels in patients with type-2 diabetes. It serves as a first-generation medication used for the treatment of mild to moderately severe diabetes. It also finds its application as a medicine to manage pain associated with dental surgery. It helps in lowering sugar levels in the blood by stimulating beta cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin.

The growth of Acetohexamide is majorly determined by its application as an oral hypoglycemic agent for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which contributes to its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its application as a drug for regulating blood sugar levels in patients with type-2 diabetes further enhances its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Its huge involvement in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries largely promotes its market growth. In general, the cost and the availability of the raw materials, technological advancements, logistics, sustainability practices, and adherence to quality standards serve as factors that influence Acetohexamide procurement globally.

Raw Material for Acetohexamide Production

According to the Acetohexamide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Acetohexamide production include P-Acetylbenzenesulfonylamide-Cyclohexyl isocyanate.

Manufacturing Process of Acetohexamide

The extensive Acetohexamide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from P-Acetylbenzenesulfonylamide:  This method of production involves the reaction of p-acetylbenzenesulfonylamide with cyclohexyl isocyanate, which results in the formation of acetohexamide as the product. In this method, p-acetylbenzenesulfonylamide is synthesized by the diazotating of p-aminoacetophenone in the presence of sulfur dioxide and copper(II) chloride, followed by a reaction with ammonia. Then, the obtained p-chlorobenzenesulfonylamide is reacted with cyclohexyl isocyanate to obtain acetohexamide as the final product.

Acetohexamide is a white crystalline powdered chemical that has a fluffy texture. Its chemical composition consists of fifteen carbon, twenty hydrogen, two nitrogen, four oxygen, and one sulfur. The chemical formula of the compound is C15H20N2O4S. Its molecular weight is 324.4 g/mol. It is a white-colored powder with no characteristic odor. Its melting point is measured around 188-190 °C.

The density of the compound is 1.23g/cm3, and the flash point is not available, but it is probably combustible. It does not dissolve in water and cannot be dissolved in most non-polar solvents. However, it is slightly soluble in alcohol and other chemical solvents such as chloroform. Similarly, it is soluble in pyridine and dilute solutions of alkali hydroxides. It is a chemical drug that has similar chemical characteristics to that of tolbutamide and chlorpropamide. Generally, the combustion of amides generates mixed oxides of nitrogen in the air.
