Armodafinil Production Cost Reports

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

Armodafinil is a medication that is used in several applications. It works by stopping the reuptake of dopamine into neurons and increasing extracellular levels, thus improving alertness and wakefulness. It is used for treating obstructive sleep apnea in adults characterized by excessive sleepiness. It is utilized in managing daytime sleepiness in patients diagnosed with narcolepsy. Armodafinil helps those people who are experiencing excessive sleepiness due to irregular work schedules. It is well absorbed, peaks at 2 hours, and has a half-life of up to about 17 hours. It is also used in the treatment of some psychiatric conditions.

The market for Armodafinil is driven by several key factors. Its use in treating sleep apnea in people who suffer from excessive sleepiness contributes to its growing demand. Its utilization for managing daytime sleepiness in people having narcolepsy makes it a popular medication among these patients. Its usage for treating sleepiness due to irregular work hours makes it a sought-after product. Increased awareness and diagnosis of sleep-related disorders from all stakeholders further contribute to its demand. Its effectiveness as a long-acting psychostimulant with a good safety profile as compared to traditional stimulants also adds to its market demand. Overall, industrial Armodafinil procurement is influenced by its use in treating excessive sleepiness, increased awareness and diagnosis, and favorable safety profile.

Raw Material for Armodafinil Production

According to the Armodafinil manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Armodafinil include Benzhydrylsulfanylacetic acid- Cumene Hydroperoxide-Toluene.

Manufacturing Process of Armodafinil

The detailed Armodafinil production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

1. From Benzhydrylsulfanylacetic Acid, Cumene Hydroperoxide, and Toluene: The manufacturing process for Armodafinil involves several key steps. First, Benzhydrylsulfanylacetic acids reacted with cumene hydroperoxide in toluene with continuous stirring, forming the core structure of the required product. After that, this compound is separated and goes through crystallization, forming the Armodafinil. Finally, the product is separated and tested to obtain pure Armodafinil.

The molecular formula for Armodafinil is C15H15NO2S, and the molecular weight of this compound is 273.35 g/mol. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder and slightly soluble in water while showing good solubility in methanol. It melts at about 103-107°C and has a pKa value near 9.6, revealing that it is a weak base. It is lipophilic as its log P value is around 3.1. Its density is 1.2 g/cm³, and it is stored under room temperatures (20-25°C), protected from light. It has a high plasma protein binding of around 60%, which affects its distribution and elimination. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its usage in medications.
