Uses:

Moroxydine Hydrochloride (CAS 3160-91-6; EINECS 221-612-6), commonly known as ABOB is a synthetic heterocyclic biguanide antiviral first developed in the 1950s (originator Kabi/Nissin, trade names included Virustat, Virusmin, Spenitol).

Chemical name: N-(aminoiminomethyl)-4-morpholinecarboximidamide hydrochloride (morpholinobiguanide·HCl); IUPAC: N-carbamimidoylmorpholine-4-carboximidamide hydrochloride

Formula: C₆H₁₄ClN₅O (free base C₆H₁₃N₅O, CAS 3731-59-7); MW 207.66

Appearance: white to off-white crystalline powder, odorless, slightly bitter; m.p. 211–214 °C; highly water-soluble, slightly soluble in ethanol/ether, practically insoluble in chloroform; storage: light-proof, sealed (research grades kept at 2–8 °C/inert gas)

HS code: 2934.99 (hazard class Xi; R36/37/38; combustible solid)

Synthesis: morpholine (or morpholine·HCl) + dicyandiamide → reflux/condensation → recrystallization (typical yield ~70%); upstream raw materials are commodity-grade (morpholine, dicyandiamide), so cost is low and supply is stable

Mechanism (as reported): inhibits viral DNA/RNA polymerases and interferes with multiple stages of the viral replication cycle in host cells; it has no direct effect on free virions. Activity has been reported against influenza A/B, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, RSV, coronavirus, adenovirus, herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, measles/mumps, enteroviruses and HCV-related analogues. Note: its exact MoA is not fully defined and modern guidelines consider the clinical evidence modest.

Main uses

1. Human pharmaceutical API (mainly China & a few Asian/Latin markets)

Prescription antiviral in tablets 0.1 g, eye drops 2%/3%, and injection 100 mg/2 mL IM. Indications: influenza & viral respiratory infections, herpes/varicella-zoster, mumps, viral conjunctivitis/epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, flat warts. Typical adult dose 0.1–0.2 g t.i.d.; children ~10 mg/kg/day in 3 doses.

Important context: local-standard was suspended in China in 1999 for uncertain efficacy, while national-standard products remain approved; clinical use has shrunk markedly as oseltamivir/zanamivir and newer agents took over. It is not FDA/EMA-approved, so Western human-pharma demand is essentially limited to research/reference use.

2. Veterinary & aquaculture antiviral

Widely studied/used against grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and giant salamander iridovirus (GSIV): reduces cytopathic effects, suppresses apoptosis (↓caspase-3, ↓Bax, modulates Bcl-2), lowers viral gene expression and mortality; reported as safe to carp, Bacillus subtilis, Chlorella and Tetrahymena at concentrations far above therapeutic levels.

Compliance caveat: China has restricted/banned antiviral drugs such as in livestock production (e.g., Guizhou 2005 notice) and residue monitoring is tightening — a 2025 national food-safety standard draft added moroxydine to LC-MS/MS residue testing for plant-derived foods. This simultaneously creates a restriction risk and a demand opportunity for analytical standards.

3. Agrochemical — plant virus disease control

Marketed as a low-toxicity, broad-spectrum antiviral agent for tomatoes, cucurbits, fruit trees and field crops (e.g., 20% SC, 160–250 g/mu, spray every 7 days ×3). Cannot be mixed with alkaline materials. This is a genuine volume outlet in Chinese crop protection.

4. Research reagent & analytical standard (highest margin segment)

Broad-spectrum antiviral tool compound, positive control vs. ribavirin, HCV-analogue chemistry, immunomodulation/apoptosis studies; deuterated Moroxydine-d8 for LC-MS quantification; sold at research-grade purity (≥98–99.45%) in mg–g packs.

Selling points (and how to position it)

Product-inherent

Very low cost & mature process: bulk 98% API trades around ¥35,000/ton (Jiangsu Xinsu, 2026 quotes); finished tablets are a few yuan per 100-tablet bottle — one of the cheapest antiviral molecules available.

Water-soluble, non-hygroscopic solid with high melting point → easy to handle, tableting/formulating (tablets, injections, eye drops, SC suspensions), no special low-temp logistics.

Broad-spectrum claim + multi-stage action → attractive for combination/adjuvant therapy and for markets where newer antivirals are unaffordable or unavailable.

Dual-use across three channels (human Rx, agro crop protection, aquaculture/veterinary) plus research reagents → diversified customer base and hedged demand.

Analytical-standard demand tailwind from expanding residue-testing requirements for foods.

Commercial angles buyers check

Grade ladder: 98% technical/agro grade, ≥99% pharma/API grade (with full COA: related substances ≤1.0%, loss on drying ≤1.0%, residue on ignition ≤0.1%, heavy metals ≤10 ppm, pH 5.6–8.5, xylene residual), and research/analytical grade with HPLC trace & NMR.

Documentation: Chinese national drug standard/DMF support, GMP audit availability, SDS, TSCA/REACH status, and stability data (24 months, light-proof sealed).

Packaging: 25 kg fibre drums/PE-lined bags for bulk; 5 g/25 g/100 g amber bottles for reagent; offer small sample lots for formulation trials.

Competitive levers: price far below imported reagent packs (Sigma/MedChemExpress-level pricing is ~¥150/5 g), custom granulation/salt forms, derivative work (analogues for HCV projects), and fast lead time from morpholine/dicyandiamide chains.

Honest caveats you should manage (they affect sales)

Efficacy evidence is considered weak by modern standards; do not make disease-treatment claims in marketing for unapproved markets. Human demand is largely China/domestic-generic driven.

Do not promote for preventive mass dosing in children or as a livestock growth/prevention additive — both have caused serious regulatory and reputational incidents (e.g., the 2014 kindergarten dosing scandal in China).

Aquaculture/livestock use must follow local veterinary-drug regulations and observe withdrawal/residue limits; buyers in food-animal chains will ask for compliance letters.

Adverse effects to disclose: sweating, anorexia, dry mouth, hypoglycaemia, GI upset, rash; avoid alcohol; caution in pregnancy/lactation, renal impairment; interacts with antihistamines/Vit B1/Vit C (enhances effect) and antacids containing Al/Mg (reduce absorption).
