What is API？
API is the abbreviation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, which is usually referred to as raw material drug. In the drug manufacturing process, the raw material medicine becomes an active ingredient of the drug, which has pharmacological activity or other direct effects on the diagnosis, treatment, symptom relief or prevention of diseases, and may also affect the function or structure of the body.API, as a key component of the drug, its purity and stability are directly related to the quality and efficacy of the medicine. However, in the production process of API, the solution often contains some unnecessary pigments, impurities and small molecule heavy metals. The presence of these substances may affect the purity of API and even have a negative impact on the efficacy of the medicine.
How does activated carbon work for API?
Activated carbon purifies API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) in drugs through its strong adsorption capacity. During the medicine preparation or purification process, activated carbon can effectively adsorb and remove impurities, trace harmful components, residual solvents or pigments in API, thereby improving the purity and quality of the medicine.
The porous structure of activated carbon provides it with a huge surface area, enabling it to efficiently capture and adsorb impurity molecules in API solution. When the medicine solution comes into contact with activated carbon, the impurity molecules will be adsorbed into the pores of the activated carbon, thereby achieving the purpose of purification.
Conclusion
In the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon provides an efficient and reliable method for the purification of API (active pharmaceutical ingredients). Through the purification effect of activated carbon, we can significantly improve the purity of the API and remove possible impurities and harmful substances, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the medicine.As a leading company specializing in activated carbon production, Zhulin Activated Carbon is committed to providing customers with customized solutions to meet their API purification needs.
