Business Insights: Innovative Drug Discovery in Emerging Markets on reports-research.com

March 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Brazil, Mexico, China, India, and Russia.

A very large proportion of the pharmaceutical industry in these emerging markets is engaged predominantly in the manufacture of generic drugs. To achieve differentiation from competitors, many generics manufacturers are expending substantial effort on the development of novel formulations providing improved properties such as stability, mode and frequency of delivery, or bioavailability.

The work to develop these formulations is commonly described by such companies as innovative research and development (R&D). Undoubtedly that is very often appropriate, as indicated by the large number of patent applications filed to protect the drug formulation intellectual property (IP) generated by this research.

However, such work leads not to novel therapies for the treatment of disease, but rather to modified versions of existing medicines containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that have already passed regulatory hurdles, and in this regard the level of risk to the financial investment is considerably lower.

Therefore, Business Insight’s report looks beyond this activity to identify truly innovative development taking place in these markets. It examines the activity of Governments in developing policy to support innovative drug development and looks at each market separately, examining what is happening at a country and company level.
