MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES — GLOBAL

 

The global pharmaceutical market sales are expected to grow at a 4 - 7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2013. Global pharmaceutical market value is expected to expand to $975+ billion by 2013.

 

The pharma market world over will experience significant shifts. Asia-Pacific region will emerge as the fastest growing pharmaceutical market over the recent past. The reason for this positive shift can be attributed to the low costs and favorable regulatory environment. This region has experienced important developments regarding contract manufacturing, especially in generics and APIs. Increased R and D activities in the region may be expected grow at a CAGR of around 12.6% during 2010-2012 in the Asia-Pacific pharmaceutical industry. It can, in fact, become the global API production hub in next few years.

 

The year 2010 was shaped with challenges for the pharmaceutical industry post global recession continuing to put pressure on drug discovery, compliance and customer interactions. These pressures have been further escalated by ongoing industry challenges including an anemic drug pipeline.

 

In addition, most large pharmaceutical companies are facing a high proportion of patent expirations between 2011 and 2014, which is expected to have negative impact over $150 billion of revenues of branded drugs. Demand from emerging markets is also shifting traditional sales and marketing practices.

 

Technology will help pharmaceutical companies overcome the big challenges with shrinking drug pipelines; companies are investing in better collaboration, standardization and analytical tools to improve R and D productivity. Discovery centric companies are using next generation sequencing technologies to fail fast and fail cheaper in their quest to identify the right target drug candidate. Global Parma majors are collaborating with external partners for research as in-house research is not delivering results as quickly.

 

SUVEN has already gained experience in Collaborative Research Partnership (CRP) with Eli Lilly a global Parma major and endeavors to sign up more such collaborative research partnerships with global Parma majors in the years to come.

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES — INDIA

 

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is one of the fast growing sectors of the Indian economy and has made rapid strides over the years. From being an import dependent industry in the 1950s, the industry has achieved self-sufficiency and gained global recognition as a producer of low cost high quality bulk drugs and formulations. Leading Indian companies have developed infrastructure in over 60 countries including developed markets like US and Europe. In the recent past, several pharmaceutical companies have demonstrated that they possess the ability to engage in commercially viable research and development activities and become significant players in the international market.

Investigators publish new data in the report "Antinociceptive activity of neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist A-366833 in experimental models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain." According to the authors of a study from Hyderabad, India, "Nerve injury, diabetes and cancer therapies are often associated with painful neuropathy. The mechanism underlying neuropathic pain remains poorly understood."

 

"The current therapies have limited efficacy and are associated with dose-limiting side effects. Compounds which act at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have also been reported to show antinociceptive activity. Among those, tebanicline (ABT-594) a potent nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist demonstrated analgesic effects across a broad range of preclinical models of nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Another nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, 5-[(1R,5S)-3,6-Diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-yl]nicotinonitrile (A-366833) from the same group produced significant antinociceptive effects in writhing pain (abdominal constriction), acute thermal pain (hot box), persistent chemical pain (formalin induced) and neuropathic pain. In the present study, we have demonstrated the efficacy of A-366833 in rat models of chronic constriction injury, partial sciatic nerve ligation, spinal nerve ligation, diabetes, chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain and complete Freund's adjuvant induced inflammatory pain. A-366833 (1, 3 and 6 mg/kg) produced significant antihyperalgesic effects in partial sciatic nerve ligation, chronic constriction injury and spinal nerve ligation models. In the diabetic and chemotherapy induced neuropathic models compound exerted antinociceptive activity and reduction in the mechanical hyperalgesia was observed. A-366833 dose dependently attenuated mechanical hyperalgesia in complete

 

The researchers concluded: "These results demonstrated broad-spectrum antinociceptive properties of A-366833 in both neuropathic and inflammatory pain models."

 

Nirogi and colleagues published the results of their research in European Journal of Pharmacology (Antinociceptive activity of neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist A-366833 in experimental models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. European Journal of Pharmacology, 2011;668(1-2):155-62).

Fresh data on Biotechnology are presented in the report "Quantification of cinacalcet by LC-MS/MS using liquid-liquid extraction from 50 L of plasma. 'A simple and economical high-performance liquid chromatography-positive ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the quantification of cinacalcet in plasma. Following liquid-liquid extraction, the analyte was separated using an isocratic mobile phase on a reversed-phase column and analyzed by MS/MS in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using the respective [M+H]? ions, m/z 358-155 for cinacalcet and m/z 310-148 for the internal standard," scientists writing in the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis report.

 

"The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 0.1-200 ng/mL for cinacalcet in plasma. Acceptable precision (<10%) and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. A run time of 3.5 min for each sample made it possible to analyze more than 250 samples per day. The method was successfully applied to quantify cinacalcet concentrations in a preclinical pharmacokinetic study after a single oral administration of cinacalcet at 10 mg/kg to rats," wrote R. Nirogi and colleagues.

 

The researchers concluded: "Following oral administration the maximum mean concentration in plasma was achieved at 1.0 h (T(max)), area under the curve (AUC) and half-life (t(1/2)) were and, respectively."

 

Nirogi and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis (Quantification of cinacalcet by LC-MS/MS using liquid-liquid extraction from 50 L of plasma. Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2011;56(2):373-81).
