Pharmaceutical Suppliers of Venlafaxine Besylate: Market Landscape and Manufacturing Considerations
Venlafaxine besylate, a benzene sulfonic acid salt derivative of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine, represents a specialized formulation variant with distinct physicochemical and manufacturing advantages over the more common hydrochloride salt[2][8]. While venlafaxine hydrochloride (marketed as Effexor®) has dominated antidepressant therapeutics since its 1993 FDA approval, the besylate salt offers improved handling properties and extended-release formulation capabilities[2][10]. This report synthesizes available data on global suppliers, manufacturing dynamics, and regulatory considerations for this pharmaceutical compound.
Chemical and Therapeutic Profile of Venlafaxine Besylate
Molecular Characteristics
Venlafaxine besylate (C23H33NO5S) combines the venlafaxine base with benzenesulfonic acid, yielding a molecular weight of 435.6 g/mol[8]. Its crystalline monohydrate form exhibits reduced water solubility (25 mg/mL) compared to the hydrochloride salt (570 mg/mL), a critical factor in extended-release dosage design[2]. The besylate salt's lower melting point facilitates thermal processing methods like hot-melt granulation, while its higher bulk density (500+ mg/mL) improves powder flow characteristics during tablet compression[2][10].
