Gold Sodium Thiomalate is an inorganic chemical compound with major applications in the pharmaceutical industry for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is widely used as a drug for the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions. It also finds its application as an intramuscular injection for the treatment of adult and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It can also be used as a medication in other autoimmune conditions, such as psoriatic arthritis and Felty's syndrome. The compound is also used in research to study immunosuppressive effects and mechanisms of action in various inflammatory conditions. It is also utilized as a precursor for the preparation of gold catalysts used in various chemical reactions.
The market for Gold Sodium Thiomalate is primarily led by its demand as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in its early active stages. Its utilization as an intramuscular injection for treating juvenile and adult rheumatoid arthritis further enhances its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Its application as a building block for production gold catalysts used in various chemical reactions also contributes to its demand in the chemical production industry. Its involvement in antimicrobial research and immunosuppression studies also fuels its demand in the medical research and biotechnology industries.
This drug must adhere to strict pharmaceutical regulations, including FDA guidelines in the US or EMA in Europe, to ensure that the drug is safe, effective, and free from contaminants. Therefore, compliance with these regulatory standards directly affects the industrial Gold Sodium Thiomalate procurement. Changes in the prices and availability of raw materials, such as Thiomalic Acid and Gold(I) Iodide, also greatly impact the production costs and procurement strategies for gold sodium thiomalate. Political stability in countries where raw materials are mined or where production occurs can further impact procurement decisions for gold sodium thiomalate.
Raw Material for Gold Sodium Thiomalate Production
According to the Gold Sodium Thiomalate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Gold Sodium Thiomalate production include Thiomalic Acid-Sodium Hydroxide-Gold(I) Iodide.
Production Process of Gold Sodium Thiomalate
The extensive Gold Sodium Thiomalate production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from Thiomalic Acid: This method of production involves the synthesis of Gold Sodium Thiomalate by using Thiomalic acid, sodium hydroxide, and gold(I) iodide as the main raw materials. The synthesis begins with the mixing of a solution of thiomalic acid with 3 equivalents of sodium hydroxide with an aqueous suspension of gold(I) halide (gold(I) iodide) to form a mixture of mono and disodium salts. Further, the obtained product is added with ethanol, which leads to the precipitation of Sodium Aurothiomalate or Gold Sodium Thiomalate as the final product.
Gold Sodium Thiomalate is also known as Sodium Aurothiomalate. It is a compound that is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory effects in treating rheumatoid arthritis. It appears as a white to yellowish-white powder that is very soluble in water but practically insoluble in alcohol and ether. The molecular weight of the compound is 390.08 g/mol, and its molecular formula is C4H3AuNa2O4S. The melting point of the compound is approximately 100°C. The compound is a variable mixture of mono- and disodium salts of gold thiomalic acid, with a pH range of 5.8-6.5 for a 5% aqueous solution. It has 5 hydrogen bond acceptors, no hydrogen bond donors, and 1 rotatable bond. Gold Sodium Thiomalate solutions are colorless to pale yellow, and their water solubility is 38.8 mg/mL. Like many gold compounds, it may decompose violently with the separation of the metal, which necessitates careful handling.
