Oxymorphone (Opana) is an opioid drug that is widely used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including labor pain. It is also used as a sedative that is given before the surgery to work along with anesthesia and facilitate the surgical procedure. Moreover, the compound is mainly utilized for relieving acute pain, post-surgical pain, and pain in other body conditions to relax the body. Additionally, it also finds its application in research for developing new drug formulations and minimizing its side effects.
The market for Oxymorphone (Opana) is majorly driven by its wide usage as a potent opioid analgesic medication for pain management in conditions when other medicines do not work enough, which significantly boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, its usage as a medication to relieve acute, severe pain during or after surgery and as a treatment of chronic pain further enhances its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
Additionally, its employment in the development of new drug formulations remarkably boosts its demand in the biotechnology and research & development industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial Oxymorphone (Opana) procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of Oxymorphone (Opana)'s raw materials (pyridine hydrochloride, 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 Oxymorphone (Opana) Production
According to the Oxymorphone (Opana) production plant project report, the major raw materials for Oxymorphone (Opana) production include Thebaine-Aqueous Formic Acid-Hydrogen Peroxide-Aqueous Ammonia-Acetic Acid- Pyridine Hydrochloride.
Production Process of Oxymorphone (Opana)
The extensive Oxymorphone (Opana) production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from Thebaine: The process involves the reaction of Thebaine dissolved in aqueous formic acid with 30% of hydrogen peroxide, followed by the neutralization with aqueous ammonia to give 14-hydroxycodeinone. Further, 14-hydroxycodeinone is dissolved in acetic acid and then hydrogenated in the presence of a palladium-charcoal catalyst to produce 14-hydroxy-7,8-dihydrocodeinone (oxycodone). The obtained oxycodone is then demethylated by heating with pyridine hydrochloride to synthesize crude oxymorphone hydrochloride, followed by purification to obtain high purity oxymorphone hydrochloride as the final product.
Oxymorphone (Opana) is an analgesic drug that is very similar in action to morphine. The molecular formula of the compound is C17H19NO4, and the molecular weight of the compound is 301.34 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is (4R,4aS,7aR,12bS)-4a,9-dihydroxy-3-methyl-2,4,5,6,7a,13-hexahydro-1H-4,12-methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinolin-7-one. The compound gets easily dissolved in boiling acetone and chloroform but is slightly soluble in benzene. Moreover, it appears as an odorless off-white powder that is readily soluble in water. The melting point of the compound is 248-249 °C. The compound is often observed to possess certain potential endocrine-disrupting compounds. This drug is administered orally as well as in the form of an intramuscular injection. Moreover, the Intramuscular oxymorphone is six times more potent than oral oxymorphone.
