Oxycodone (OxyContin) is a semisynthetic opioid drug that is widely used for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain conditions. It is mainly utilized to alleviate acute, severe pain associated with certain body conditions, including arthritis, fractures, cancer pain, neuralgia, and severe injuries. Additionally, it also finds its application in research for developing new drug formulations and minimizing its side effects.

The market for Oxycodone (OxyContin) is majorly driven by its wide usage as a potent opioid analgesic medication for the management of severe pain, which significantly boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, its usage as a medication to relieve acute pain, labor pain, pain during or after surgery, and pain associated with various body conditions further enhances its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Additionally, its employment in research activities and the development of new drugs remarkably boost its demand in the biotechnology and research & development industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial oxycodone (OxyContin) procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of Oxycodone's raw materials (Thebaine, etc.), cost and pricing, compliance with medical regulations, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for Oxycodone (OxyContin) Production

According to the Oxycodone (OxyContin) manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Oxycodone (OxyContin) production include Thebaine-Formic Acid-Hydrogen Peroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Oxycodone (OxyContin)

The extensive Oxycodone (OxyContin) production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Thebaine (an Alkaloid found in Opium): The method of production is initiated by the oxidation of thebaine with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic acid, which results in the formation of an intermediate 14-hydroxycodeinone. The obtained intermediate is further hydrogenated directly or through its oxime or its bromination products in the presence of palladium as a catalyst, which produces oxycodone as a final product.

Oxycodone (OxyContin) is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the resin of Papaver somniferum (poppy seeds). It is an analgesic drug that is very similar in action to morphine. The molecular formula of the compound is C18H21NO4, and the molecular weight of the compound is 315.4 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is (4R,4aS,7aR,12bS)-4a-hydroxy-9-methoxy-3-methyl-2,4,5,6,7a,13-hexahydro-1H-4,12-methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinolin-7-one. This drug is majorly marketed under the brand name OxyContin. Moreover, the melting point of the compound is around 218-220 °C. It does not dissolve in water but is readily soluble in ethanol and chloroform. Additionally, the compound, on heating, decomposes and liberates toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, and it is also considered a potential endocrine disruptor. The flash point of the compound is 257°C, and its density is 1.4 g/cm3.
