Every day, there is new innovation happening in different industries across the globe, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, as the pharma R&D team are developing & innovating new drug for various symptoms to give patients quick relief for their medical condition.
Biopharmaceuticals are one of the best inventions of the Pharmaceutical R&D team, and the demand for Biopharmaceuticals is on the rise and will increase in the upcoming years. This rapid rise is due to the components used in the Biopharmaceuticals development process, which helps in delivering quicker & effective remedies to the symptoms.
In this blog, we will walk you through what biopharmaceuticals are, their uses, and their benefits.
What are Biopharmaceuticals?
Biopharmaceuticals are complex medicines that are made from living cells or microorganisms and produced using cutting-edge biotechnological methods. They are developed for precise & targeted treatments. They are usually injected into the body.
Bio-pharma companies can make Biopharmaceutical drugs from biological components & substances known as biologics. This includes proteins, sugars, nucleic acids such as DNA & RNA, or a complex combination of substances & components.
Most Biopharmaceutical drugs are made from natural proteins and recombinant proteins that contain genes manipulated by scientists. Biopharmaceuticals also include stem cells & specific blood components primarily associated with blood clotting.
In novice terms, Biopharmaceuticals are lab-created drugs structurally identical to compounds found in nature.
Uses of Biopharmaceuticals
Biopharmaceuticals include the manufacturing of the following:
- Body Cells & Tissues
- Gene Therapies
- Blood & Blood Components
- Vaccines
- Living cells used in cell therapies
- Recombinant Therapeutic Proteins
- Allergenic
Biopharmaceutical companies use microbial cells, such as recombinant therapeutic proteins and Escherichia coli, to create effective vaccines.
At Pyxus Pharmaceuticals, we create various Biopharmaceuticals by cultivating mammalian cell lines according to the WHO-GMP & EU-GMP guidelines.
Benefits of Biopharmaceuticals
Biopharmaceuticals offer exceptional advantages over other pharma drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. The following are the benefits of Biopharmaceuticals:
Biopharmaceutical drugs are structurally the same as human compounds, unlike traditional drugs that have a chemical structure not found in the human body.
This human compound’s similar structure gives Biopharmaceuticals the potential to cure challenging diseases rather than merely treat symptoms of common diseases.
- Biopharmaceuticals have fewer side effects because of their specificity, unlike traditional drugs with multiple side effects.
E.g., Heparin (which prevents the formation of blood clots) acts at several sites within the clotting system. On the other hand, Bio-Pharma clotting factors can treat symptoms (clotting) occurring at a specific point in the clotting system.
- Biopharmaceuticals are changing how doctors treat diseases like diabetes and cancer. It allows clinicians to customize and tailor treatment according to the specific medical problem experienced by each patient. Biotechnology will enable researchers to use DNA-recombinant technologies, cell fusion, and other technologies for modifying therapy for particular disease types.
- Biopharma employs biotechnology that helps manufacture monoclonal antibodies, which have identical immune cells, clones of a unique parent cell. The design of chemically defined cell and genome-based technologies will enhance the vaccine manufacturing process & creation of new cancer treatments.
- Biopharmaceutical drugs provide excellent benefits for treating genetically inherited diseases, commonly known as “Gene Therapy.” In genetically inherited diseases like cancer or diabetes, the body cells divide rapidly, developing defective or mutated genes.
Gene Therapy helps scientists replace defective or mutated genes with healthy ones for the treatment of existing inherited diseases and also prevent the development of inherited diseases in the future.
- Biopharmaceuticals are already widely available to U.S. patients. It helps treat psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and various immune diseases. Biopharmaceutical treatments have saved the lives of patients in the U.S. from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes.
Biopharmaceuticals are the future of humankind, and they will save thousands of lives worldwide from critical diseases and give humans a new life, strengthening their genes through Genes Therapy.
- Biopharmaceutical drugs cure therapeutic areas, critical diseases, inflammatory diseases like psoriasis, rheumatic, endometriosis, and various inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Biopharmaceutical drug consumption is proven to increase average life expectancy, promoting healthy, productive longevity and providing welfare to the world’s population.
