Market for Generic Biologics: Issues, Trends, and Market Potential, The

    Published: June 1, 2004 | Price: $1,500.00 – $3,000.00

    Biologics, or biopharmaceuticals, are synthetic or recombinant versions of natural biologic substances, including proteins such as enzymes or antibodies and nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. Generic products are non-patented chemical and therapeutic equivalents of brand name drugs. However, biogenerics are not generic biologics, because there can technically be no generic form of biologics. That is, the complex process of creating biologics, means that traditional definitions of bioequivalence used in the generic drug industry do not (or may not)...
    Early Stage Drug Discovery 2004: Combi-chem & High Throughput Screening Revisited

    Published: June 1, 2004 | Price: $2,995.00 – $5,990.00

    Ten years ago, high throughput screening (HTS) was being touted as the answer to improving productivity in drug discovery. If screening thousands of compounds a week was good, screening hundreds of thousands would be even better. This led to the boom in Ultra HTS (UHTS), manufacturing-scale systems, and high-speed automation. Today, reality has begun to creep in: HTS and UHTS have not lived up to their hype. R&D productivity is not improving, in fact it may be declining. In the...
