Pharamaceutical Biotechnology

By Dr Ravishankar B V

Pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals are the backbone of modern medicinal therapy. Most traditional pharmaceuticals are low molecular mass organic chemicals. Although some were originally isolated from biological sources, most of them are manufactured by direct chemical synthesis. Two types of manufacturing companies, thus comprise the traditional pharmaceutical sector the chemical synthesis plants, which manufacture the raw chemical ingredients in bulk quantities and the finished product pharmaceutical facilities, which purchase the raw bulk ingredients, formulate them into final pharmaceutical products and supply these products to users. Some products are formed by biological materials which are generally categorized as biotechnological products (hormones, blood products, vaccines). Some bio-products are modified by chemical synthesis which are called semi synthetic drugs.
