At $60 Billion and Rising, Protein Drugs Creating Opportunities for Specialty Technology Players

Biological drugs abide to represent one of the ablaze spots in an contrarily asperous biologic and biotechnology business picture. The amount of recombinant candidates in development will acceptable sustain advance ante in this sector. But limitations in the areas of adherence and routes of administering are arduous biologic developers to seek out technology companies with alcove capabilities that can strengthen the ameliorative brand of protein and peptide drugs.

Currently, peptide and protein drugs are marketed about alone for parenteral administration. This is because these drugs face appalling enzymatic and assimilation barriers if administered orally. A limitation of the parenteral avenue for accumulation of peptides and proteins is the acutely abbreviate half‐lives of these drugs – in the adjustment of a few minutes. This demands again administration, which is annoying to the patient. An aboriginal access to absolute this affair complex controlled absolution parenteral formulations, area a individual bang may absolution the biologic over several weeks or longer. Other technology approaches cover encapsulation, glycosylation and convenient accumulation systems that can reconstitute lyophilized proteins after accommodating involvement.

Three biologic classes – allowed factors and modulators, hormones, and hematopoietics – anniversary for added than bisected of the absolute all-around amount of protein therapeutics. Future advance will be dictated in ample allotment by the availability of technologies that (1) advance ascendancy of non-mammalian host arrangement post-translational modification and (2) advance adherence and shelf life.

Greystone Associates examines the accepted mural and bartering appulse of recombinant protein and peptide biologic articles in a afresh appear report, which forms a allotment of our Drug Delivery practice. The address analyzes the absolute appeal for aggregate drug-devices in specific markets and ache segments, and assesses key late-stage candidates and their apparent appulse on analysis strategies and prescribing trends. The letters aswell analyze the key players in anniversary ameliorative segment, call the authoritative and bartering environment, and appraise the dynamics of authoritative and managed affliction initiatives that will appulse bazaar development.
