Solanesol (Nonaisoprenol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula Me2C=CHCH2(CH2C(Me)=CHCH2)8OH. It is a white waxy solid, which is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water and is optically inactive. It is a non-cyclic terpene alcohol that consists of nine isoprene units and mainly accumulates in solanaceous crops that include tobacco, potato, tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants. In plants, solanesol exists in both free and esterified structures and its collection is impacted by hereditary and natural variables. Solanesol is generally utilized in pharmaceutical industries as an intermediate for the synthesis of ubiquinone drugs, such as coenzyme Q10 and nutrient K2. Solanesol is also used as starting material in synthesis of high-value bio-chemicals such as Vitamin-K analogues and Coenzyme Q10. It is extracted from leaves and stems of solanaceous species.
The solanesol market growth is driven by the rise in demand from the pharmaceutical industry owing to the rise in its use for various treatments such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and wound healing. In addition, solanesol possesses antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-ulcer activities, which boost the market growth. However, strict government regulations on solanesol due to its addictive drug properties hampers the growth of the market. Meanwhile, the rise in investments on R&D activities to manufacture new pharmaceutical products, using solanesol, offers lucrative growth opportunities for the market. Considering the significance of solanesol in the pharmaceutical industry, application of tobacco or tobacco waste as a source of this chemical has attained significance. Thus, solanesol has excellent prospects in the future as drug intermediate, which has produced considerable interest in this compound.
The global solanesol market is segmented into type, application, and region. By type, it is divided into 90% solanesol and 95% solanesol. By application, it is classified into coenzyme Q10, vitamin K2, and N-solanesyl-N, N′-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl) ethylenediamine. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle-East, and Africa).
Some of the main market players operating in the global solanesol industry are ExtRx, Zhejiang Yixin Pharmaceutical Co., JSN Chemicals Ltd., Naturite Agro Products Ltd., TCI Chemicals (India) Pvt. Ltd., Xi’an TonKing, Zhongshan Belling Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Vinkem, Bio-Pharma Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., Gremount International Company limited, Co. Ltd., and others.
