Quinones; coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone (INN))

HS v2017 Code: 291462

About quinones; coenzyme q10 (ubidecarenone (inn))

HS code 291462 covers the classification of quinones, a class of organic compounds that play a vital role in various biological processes. Quinones are particularly significant in the field of biochemistry, as they are involved in the electron transport chain, a crucial component of cellular respiration. One of the most notable quinones is coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone), which has gained widespread attention for its potential health benefits and applications in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

Production process

The production of quinones, including coenzyme Q10, typically involves chemical synthesis. This process often starts with the oxidation of aromatic compounds, such as benzene or naphthalene, to form the quinone structure. Subsequent steps may involve further modifications, such as the addition of side chains or functional groups, to create the desired quinone compound. The specific production techniques can vary depending on the target quinone and the desired purity and characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of quinones and coenzyme Q10 include aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or naphthalene, as well as various chemical reagents and catalysts necessary for the synthesis process. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these compounds.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 291462 is quinones, including the specific compound coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone). These compounds find applications in various industries, including 300490 Medicaments, 300650 Wadding, gauze, bandages and the like, and 293100 (Heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only). Quinones are used in the production of pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and other healthcare products, as well as in the development of advanced materials and electronic components.
