Track 6: Pharmaceutical Formulation
Pharmaceutical formulation, in pharmaceutics, is the process in which different chemical substances, including the active the drug, are combined to produce a final medicinal product. The word formulation is often used in a way that includes dosage form.
Track 7: Pharmacology & Toxicology
Pharmacology is a branch of medicine or pharmaceutical sciences. It mainly deals with the study of the body's reaction to drugs.
Interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect a normal or abnormal biochemical function. Any substances that possess medicinal properties are considered to be pharmaceuticals.
Sub-divisions of Pharmacology mainly include:
-
Pharmacotherapeutics
-
Toxicology
-
Experimental pharmacology
-
Clinical Pharmacology
-
Chemotherapy
Toxicology studies the negative consequences of pharmaceuticals and chemical substances as well as treatment options, while pharmacology studies the positive effects of drugs.
Track 8: Formulation Design and Pharmaceutical Technology
All pharmaceutical products are formulated to specific dosage forms for drugs to be effectively delivered to patients. Typical pharmaceutical dosage forms include oral tablets, capsules, solutions, suspensions, topical ointments, gels, and solutions, and injections for intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), or subcutaneous (SC) administration. In addition, various drug delivery systems have been developed for transdermal, intranasal, and pulmonary deliveries. Different dosage forms require different pharmaceutical technologies and usually present different technical challenges for formulation development.
Because of the complex technical challenges scientists encounter during formulation development, it is important to use an effective methodology. Design of experiments and statistical analysis have been applied widely to formulation development, and are useful in process optimization and process validation. The major advantage of using Design of experiments to develop formulations for pharmaceutical products is that it allows all potential factors to be evaluated simultaneously, systematically, and quickly.
Track 9: Pharmacogenomics
Pharmacogenomics is an important example in the field of precision medicine aimed at tailoring treatment to an individual or group of individuals. Pharmacogenomics studies how DNA affects the response to drugs. In some cases, your DNA can affect whether you react badly to a drug, or whether a drug helps or doesn't work for you. Pharmacogenomics can improve your health by helping you know in advance if a drug can benefit you and if you are safe to take.

Track 13: Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery
Medicinal chemistry is a discipline at the overtone of chemistry, particularly synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design, chemical synthesis and development for market of pharmaceutical agents. Earlier, medicinal chemists often optimized and developed compounds without much knowledge of the drug target or pathway in mind. New skills have had an enormous impact on drug discovery since the mid-20th century. Once hits are identified from high throughput screening (or other sources) the chemists may become involved in hit to lead (h2l) studies when hits from screens are effectively triaged and closely scrutinized for ability to serve as full blown lead compounds. Medicinal chemistry has, therefore, grown to encompass a greater range of scientific disciplines in the drug discovery process in order to minimize the cost, time and risk of development. The arrival of newer high powered computational capabilities was one catalyst for this approach. to succeed in the discovery process medicinal chemists have to perform these initial important tasks: identification of lead molecules which have the desired biological activity using new technologies such as hits and combinatorial chemistry, the lead modification or optimization which could be done by employing structure-activity analysis and scale-up of the optimized lead for further drug development process and efficacy testing.
Track 14: Pharmaceutical Analysis
Pharmaceutical analysis is a branch of practical chemistry that involves the series of process of identification, determination, qualification and purification of a substance, separation of the components of a solution or mixture, or determination of structure of chemical compounds. Pharmaceutical analytic studies uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify and quantify matter. In practice, separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with other method. Separation isolates analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration, and qualitative analysis determines the quality of product.

Allied Market Research presents a compilation of reports, which offers a quantitative analysis of growth indicative figures and extensively defines each sub-segment of the market. These furnish our clients an insiders approach to the industry, and assist stakeholders in forming investment strategies.
The pharmaceutical market is experiencing constant growth due to the worldwide increase in life expectancy, as well as the increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases. The steadily increasing demand for innovative drugs has thus triggered a significant rise in R&D investments in the pharmaceuticals industry. Leading industry players allocate around 20% of their turnover to R&D to maintain a competitive edge. The emergence of biopharmaceuticals has opened a new arena for drug discovery; and breakthroughs in the fields of proteomics and genomics have also enabled drug manufacturers to develop more effective drugs and therapies. While the industry has begun attracting significant public funding and tax exemption, it still faces the challenges of short product lifecycles and of developing blockbuster drugs. The pharmaceuticals industry is dominated by the U.S., which holds around 45% of the global market share. However, the markets in emerging economies like in China and India are expected to show a double digit growth.
The pharmaceutical landscape has undergone a massive transformation with the emergence of new technologies, cost-effective, and more efficient manufacturing approaches. In addition, increasing investment flow in this space has impacted the market growth positively. Manufacturing floor downtime and the production of product waste are reduced by the implementation of robotic technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition, single-use disposable solutions have gained momentum in this industry and have replaced conventional open transfer manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, the paradigm shift towards integrated, smart, and data-rich paperless operations has resulted in error-free and precise production. Such ongoing developments have propelled drug manufacturing.
The pharmaceutical industry is responsible for the research, development, production, and distribution of medications. The market has experienced significant growth during the past two decades, and pharma revenues worldwide totaled 1.42 trillion U.S. dollars in 2021.
The research-based totally Pharmaceutical industry plays a vital position in restoring Europe to increase and making sure destiny competitiveness in advancing international financial system. In 2016 it invested an expected € 35,000 million in R&D in Europe. It without delay employs 745,000 humans and generates 3 to 4 times greater employment circuitously – upstream and downstream – than it does without delay. Besides the additional regulatory hurdles and escalating R&D costs, the sector has been seriously hit via the effect of fiscal austerity measures delivered with the aid of governments across an awful lot of Europe in view that 2010.
All new medicines introduced into the market are the result of lengthy, costly and risky research and development (R&D) conducted by pharmaceutical companies:
By the time a medicinal product reaches the marketplace, a mean of 12-thirteen years may have elapsed because the first synthesis of the new active substance.
On average, only one to two of every 10,000 substances synthesised in laboratories will successfully pass all stages of development required to become a marketable medicine.
The fragmentation of the EU pharmaceutical market has led to a rewarding parallel exchange. This advantages neither social security nor sufferers and deprives the enterprise of additional resources to fund R&D. Parallel trade was envisioned to amount to € five,361 million in 2015.
In 2021, research and development spending in the pharmaceutical industry totaled some 238 billion U.S. dollars globally. For comparison, R&D expenditures totaled 137 billion dollars in 2012. Pharmaceutical R&D includes all steps from the initial research of disease processes, the compound testing over pre-clinical, and all clinical trial stages. At a certain point in the process – mostly during the pre-clinical phase – a governmental authority is involved to overview, regulate, and ultimately approve the drug. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration is the principal agency associated with processes.
The pressure to innovate
In comparison to other industries, pharmaceutical companies are more driven by the imperative to manufacture innovative products, and thus to spend significant amounts on research and development. This is largely due to the time-limited patent protection of drugs and the following threat of sales erosion through generic and biosimilar competition. Two major effects of patent expirations for the pharma industry are a specific high R&D intensity and a growing focus on specialty drugs to diversify their product portfolio.
The latest trends
For the last several years, major developments in pharmaceutical research and development have begun to change the R&D landscape. A growing number of drug manufacturers are outsourcing large parts of R&D, mostly to clinical research organizations (also contract research organizations), with the main aim to reduce costs. Another important development is the use of big data in clinical research. Thus, a predictive modeling is possible which uses clinical and molecular data to develop safer and more efficient drugs. Particularly, real-time or real-world evidence (RWE) is becoming a greater interest. This makes cooperation with technology companies necessary and includes data gathered from various sources, even that of social media.
Forecasts indicate that the European Pharmaceutical Market is set to develop from 169 billion euros in 2015 to 206 billion euros ($229.5 billion) in 2022, exhibiting a compound annual boom charge of three.25 over the period.
According to a brand new report from lifestyles science marketplace intelligence corporation Evaluate, increase is largely because of improvements in oncology, despite the fact that step-change advances are also emerging across other remedy areas which include multiple sclerosis, persistent coronary heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s. The document is the first to investigate the European drug market to 2022, primarily based on consensus drug forecasts, utilizing statistics from Evaluates newly-launched “European Drug Forecasts” module.
“In a system, ultimately paid for by governments, this raises questions on the sustainability of the current funding model and presents challenges for payers in Europe. To reduce the friction between payers and industry, a new collaborative approach to funding needs to be established, ultimately reflecting the benefits that some of the new innovations are generating throughout the whole healthcare value chain.”
Key findings from the report include
AbbVie’s (NYSE: ABBV) Humira (adalimumab) with 2022 sales of 1.462 billion euros) loses its number one position to Bayer’s (BAYN: DE) Xarelto (rivaroxaban), with 2022 sales of 2.607 billion euros as the top selling drug in Europe by 2022, but is expected to keep its market leadership position despite biosimilar threats.
Xarelto tops the bestseller list, strongly supported by analysts’ consensus (worldwide sales in 2022 anticipated at about $8 billion) and fuelled by the expected expansion into follow-on indications such as chronic heart failure.
The hepatitis C hurricane will slowly fade away as Gilead Sciences’ (Nasdaq: GILD) Sovaldi (sofosbuvir), with 2015 sales of 1.443 billion euros to 2022 sales of 609 million euros, and Harvoni (ledipasvir and sofosbuvir), with 2015 income of two billion euros to 2022 sales of 887 million euros, will be laid low with increasing pricing pressure in addition to a reduction in the number of addressable patients.
Oncology will lead the game with five compounds in the top 10, all of which are coming from recent development activities with the exception of Roche’s (ROG: SIX) Herceptin (trastuzumab), 2015 income of 2.117 billion euros to 2022 sales of 1.383 billion euros, which is about to lose floor because of the anticipated release of competing bio-similars.
In the breathing location, while a few new innovations are slowly surfacing, for example, GlaxoSmithKline’s (LSE: GSK) Nucala (mepolizumab), with 2022 sales of 407 million euros), typical competition will force the respiratory blockbusters – Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva (tiotropium), with 2015 sales of 1.421billion euros and 2022 sales of 676 million euros, and GSK’s Seretide/Advair (fluticasone propionate/salmeterol), with 2015 sales of 1.553 billion euros.
