Steroidal hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues; halogenated derivatives of corticosteroidal hormones
HS v2022 Code: 293722
About steroidal hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues; halogenated derivatives of corticosteroidal hormones
HS code 293722 covers a diverse range of steroidal hormones, their derivatives, and structural analogues. These compounds play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, serving as the foundation for the production of various medications, including contraceptives, anti-inflammatory drugs, and treatments for hormonal imbalances. The global market for steroidal hormones is expected to continue growing, driven by the increasing prevalence of endocrine disorders and the rising demand for effective therapeutic solutions.
Production process
The production of steroidal hormones typically involves a multi-step process that begins with the extraction and purification of natural precursor compounds, such as cholesterol or other steroid molecules. These precursors are then subjected to a series of chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and structural modifications, to synthesize the desired steroidal hormone or its derivatives. Advanced techniques, such as biotechnology and enzymatic processes, are also employed to enhance the efficiency and purity of the final products.
Production inputs
The production of steroidal hormones requires a range of raw materials, including natural steroid precursors, various chemical reagents, and specialized equipment. Key inputs include 271012 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 290211 Cyclohexane, and 290531 (Ethylene glycol (ethanediol)). Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing technologies, such as high-precision reactors, purification systems, and analytical equipment, to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.
Production outputs
The steroidal hormones produced under HS code 293722 are widely used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in a variety of medical applications. These compounds are often further processed and formulated into finished pharmaceutical products, such as 300439 (Medicaments containing hormones or other products of heading 2937 but not containing antibiotics, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems) or in forms or packings for retail sale), 300450 (Medicaments containing vitamins or other products of heading 2936 put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems) or in forms or packings for retail sale), and 300490 (Medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems) or in forms or packings for retail sale). The steroidal hormones produced under this code are also used as intermediates in the synthesis of other pharmaceutical and chemical products.
