Amoxicillin Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing an Amoxicillin manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Amoxicillin production, including the cost of Amoxicillin production, Amoxicillin plant cost, Amoxicillin production costs, and the overall Amoxicillin manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating an Amoxicillin 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.

Amoxicillin is an amino penicillin antibiotic used to treat different types of infections that are caused by bacteria, such as bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, and ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract infections. It is sometimes mixed with another antibiotic called clarithromycin (Biaxin) to treat stomach ulcers induced by Helicobacter pylori infection. In addition, it is at times used to treat Lyme disease to prevent anthrax infection. It is available in the form of a tablet, capsule, chewable tablet, as well as a suspension (liquid) that is taken orally.

The market for Amoxicillin is driven by its usage as an antibiotic to treat various bacterial infections such as bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, and ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract infections, which elevates its demand in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. The drug’s ability to be utilized in combination with other antibiotics, such as clarithromycin, to treat stomach ulcers amplifies its market appeal. The rising cases of bacterial infections such as respiratory tract, skin, and urinary tract infections boost the demand for antibiotics such as Amoxicillin.

The availability of the drug in generic formulations, as well as in various dosage forms, enhances patient compliance, which further contributes to its market growth. Overall, industrial Amoxicillin procurement is influenced by its application in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, the rising cases of bacterial infections, the availability of generic formulations and a variety of dosage forms, combination therapy, the availability of its raw material (p-hydroxyphenylglycine), the cost of its raw material, growing awareness among consumers towards health consciousness, and regulatory approvals.

Raw Material for Amoxicillin Production

According to the Amoxicillin manufacturing plant project report, the key raw material used in the production of Amoxicillin includes p-hydroxyphenylglycine.

Manufacturing Process of Amoxicillin

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

• Production from p-hydroxyphenylglycine: The manufacturing process of Amoxicillin involves several steps. In the first step, p-hydroxyphenyl glycine is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, Ethyl acetoacetate, and potassium hydroxide to form Dane salt, followed by its crystallization. The Dane salt is further reacted with pivaloyl chloride to form a mixed anhydride complex in the presence of a solvent such as methylene dichloride and 2,6-Lutidine, N,N-Dimethylacetamide, and 2,6-ethyl hexanoic acid as the catalysts. The mixture is reacted with 6-APA dissolved by triethylamine to produce enamine protected Amoxicillin, followed by hydrolysis, separation, and purification.

Amoxicillin is an off-white crystalline solid with a penicillin-type odor and bitter taste, having the molecular formula C16H19N3O5S and a molecular weight of 365.4 g/mol. It has a melting point of 194 °C. It has a solubility of 10.7 [ug/mL] (The mean of the results at pH 7.4). The value of its partition coefficient, log P, is 0.87. The value of its dissociation constant, pKa, is 2.6 (acidic). Its CaCO2 permeability value is -6.1.
