Antidiabetic, Hormone & Metabolic APIs
This sub-category brings together APIs that act on the endocrine system and metabolism. It covers corticosteroids such as Betamethasone and Deflazacort, fertility and hormone agents including Clomiphene Citrate, Allylestrenol and Danazol, the dopamine agonist Cabergoline, the bisphosphonate Alendronate Sodium and the gout drug Allopurinol, along with oral antidiabetic molecules.
Hormonal and steroid APIs are often highly potent, so manufacturers need containment measures and occupational exposure limits as part of their planning. Many steroids are used in micronised form for creams, inhalers or low-dose tablets, which makes particle size a key specification. Cabergoline and similar low-dose drugs require tight content uniformity in the final product.
- Corticosteroids for topical, oral and injectable products
- Hormones and fertility agents in low-dose formulations
- Bone and metabolic drugs in high-volume tablets
APIs ship in sealed containers with the manufacturer's COA and an SDS that covers potent compound handling. State the pharmacopoeia and particle size you need when sending your enquiry.
