Streptozotocin Production Cost Reports

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

Streptozotocin (STZ) is an antineoplastic antibiotic extracted from the bacterium Streptomyces achromogenes. It is widely used for the treatment of metastatic islet cell cancer of the pancreas. Moreover, it is often used as an off-label drug to treat carcinoid syndrome.  Additionally, it is utilized for research activities due to its role as an antineoplastic agent in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and studying the mechanisms of diabetes.

The market for Streptozotocin is majorly driven due to its role as an antineoplastic agent used to treat malignant neoplasms of the pancreas, which remarkably accentuates its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, its application for inducing Type 1 diabetes in experimental animals for medical research purposes further enhances its demand in the biomedical research industry. Additionally, the cost and the availability of raw materials (Streptomyces achromogenes), their purity, and environmental policies play a crucial part in illustrating procurement policies. Furthermore, technological advancements, novel discoveries, supplier reliability, distribution, and logistics largely impact industrial Streptozotocin procurement to a large extent.

Raw Material for Streptozotocin Production

According to the Streptozotocin manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Streptozotocin production includes Streptomyces achromogenes.

Manufacturing Process of Streptozotocin

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

1. Production via Fermentation: This method of production involves the process of fermentation by using strains of Streptomyces achromogenes to produce streptozotocin as the product. In this method, Streptomyces achromogenes, a type of soil bacterium, is cultured in a fermentation broth, and the bacterial strains are allowed to undergo fermentation under controlled conditions to produce streptozotocin as the desired product.

Streptozotocin appears as an off-white powder, and it belongs to the class of N-nitrosoureas. The molar mass of the compound is 265.22 g/mol, and its molecular formula is C8H15N3O7. Moreover, the melting point of the compound is 121 °C, and its boiling point is 408.44°C. The compound exists in the form of a white to pale-yellow crystalline solid that is readily soluble in water but is insoluble in polar organic solvents. Additionally, the compound is hygroscopic and is stored at -20°C. The density of the compound is 1.4410gm/cm3. Prolonged use of this compound is dangerous and can damage the kidneys or liver and can also affect the pancreas.
