Crisaborole is an FDA-approved drug that is widely known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is widely used for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients two years and older. Moreover, it also finds its application as a topical ointment to treat and reduce inflammation and itching in both adults and children. Additionally, it is also used as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for alleviating symptoms of various skin inflammation.
The demand for Crisaborole is predominantly driven due to its key role as a steroid-free topical treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) or eczema in adults and pediatric patients, which significantly boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, its usage for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions, such as redness, rashes, and itchiness, further accentuates its demand in the medical and healthcare industries. Additionally, factors, including the availability of raw materials (4-Hydroxy-3-bromobenzaldehyde, etc.), pricing, its application as topical treatment, compliance with healthcare regulations, scientific advancements, and quality standards, greatly influence industrial Crisaborole procurement globally.
Raw Material for Crisaborole Production
According to the Crisaborole production plant project report, the major raw material for Crisaborole production includes 4-Hydroxy-3-bromobenzaldehyde.
Production Process of Crisaborole
The extensive Crisaborole production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Chemical Synthesis: This method of production is initiated by subjecting bromobenzaldehyde (4-Hydroxy-3-bromobenzaldehyde) to warm ethylene glycol in the presence of catalytic p-toluenesulfonic acid to form the corresponding acetal. Further, the obtained compound (acetal) undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution on reaction with fluorobenzonitrile to obtain diaryl ether. Then, the obtained diaryl ether undergoes a reduction in the presence of sodium borohydride, followed by protection with THP to form a bromobenzene intermediate. Then, the obtained product is subjected to lithium-halogen exchange, followed by a reaction with triisopropyl borate and acidification, which results in the formation of crisaborole as the final product.
