Novel drug Delivery Systems

Drug delivery is the method or process of administering pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect in humans or animals. Many medications such as proteins and peptides, antibody, vaccine and gene based drugs, may not be administered by these routes because they might be susceptible to enzymatic degradation due to molecular size etc. The conventional dosage forms provide drug release immediately and cause fluctuation of drug level in blood depending upon dosage form. Therefore to maintain the drug concentration within therapeutically effective range needs novel drug delivery system. NDDS is advanced drug delivery system which improves drug potency, control drug release to give a sustained therapeutic effect, provide greater safety finally it is to target a drug specifically to a desired tissue. NDDS is a combination of advance technique and new dosage forms which are far better than conventional dosage forms. Modes of NDDS are; Targeted Drug Delivery System, Controlled Drug Delivery System, Modulated Drug Delivery System

Pharmaceutical Spending – Global Market

 

 

Market Growth of Pharmaceutical Research in the last and upcoming ten years

Pharmaceuticals are one of the world's most profitable industries. During the last 30 years, the industry has spent billions of dollars on research and reaped billions in return. In 2008 alone, the pharmaceutical industry sold $773 billion in products worldwide-a number that has consistently grown for the past 8 years and is projected to increase again by 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2017, according to the drug market research firm IMS Health.

But the process that turns research dollars into medicines is a slow and often arduous one. It now takes an average of 12 to 15 years and up to $1.7 billion for a drug to go from discovery to market, according to The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. And despite all the time and money invested, only a handful of drugs are approved by the FDA each year.

The arduous drug approval process reveals a central fact about Big Pharma: it's one of the most intensely regulated industries in the world. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its European Union counterpart, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), govern every aspect of a drug's development-from chemicals used in the drug and clinical study instructions, called protocols, to packaging components and marketing materials. This strict oversight is meant to protect patient safety, and pharma companies take regulatory oversight seriously. The constant pressure to adhere to government mandates shapes every aspect of a pharma firm's organization, operations, and culture. For example, drug companies maintain powerful regulatory affairs divisions-the departments that deal with government agencies-and they tend to be risk-averse.

Pharmaceutical Regulations in Japan:

Manufacturing, importation, and sales of drugs and medical devices are regulated by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) of Japan.

All manufacturing and marketing applications in Japan for drugs and devices are reviewed by the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) (83). All applications are thoroughly reviewed before PMDA submits an approval recommendation to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).

Under PAL, when importing to Japan and selling pharmaceutical products manufactured in other countries, a license for marketing authorization is required. The Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) will be the owner of the license for marketing authorization.

The MAH must be based in Japan and can be the foreign company’s Japan office, the foreign company’s distributor, or an independent third party acting as the Designated Marketing Authorization Holder (DMAH).

To import and market a new drug in Japan, an approval (marketing approval) will be necessary. And the approval must be held by the Marketing Authorization Holder.

A foreign manufacturer intending to manufacture drugs in foreign countries and export them to Japan, is required to be accredited by MHLW as an “Accredited Foreign Manufacturer” (84). And it is necessary to obtain accreditation for each foreign factory location at which pharmaceuticals for export are manufactured.

The appointed MAH will be responsible for the labelling and advertising of the pharmaceuticals in Japan. As stipulated in PAL, the manufacturers/seller’s address, name of product, production indication, name of ingredients, expiration, etc., must be printed on the container of drugs.

Funds allotted to Pharmaceutical Research:-

Worldwide:-

Pharma companies have traditionally funded their internal R&D efforts totally on their own by investing 15% or more of their top line revenues to pay for these endeavours’. In addition, in order to tap into R&D going on outside their companies, pharma has financially supported external R&D efforts in deals with small biotech companies, research institutes, and universities. In fact, as funding for agencies like the NIH has stagnated over recent years, pharma has become an important source of funds to support early stage research.

The R&D Funding Forecast notes that there is a continuing shift in where R&D investments are being made, with fewer in the U.S. and Europe and more in Asian countries. The U.S. now accounts for less than a third of global spending, while Europe’s 34 countries account for less than 22% and Asian countries account for nearly 40%, a trend that has continued for the past five years. This trend is expected to continue through the end of the decade with China’s R&D investments surpassing those of the U.S. by about 2022.

Despite R&D budgets in the billions of dollars, pharma is now seeking to supplement their internal R&D investments with outside funding. One source has been major foundations.  The recent Cystic Fibrosis Foundation investment of $58 million into Pfizer R&D to support new research into areas for this disease is a perfect example. The justification for such deals is that pharma companies have a proven R&D track record for delivering new medicines, and the foundations feel that, by tapping into these scientists, they can maximize their chances for getting breakthrough medications.
