Concepts and types of biopharmaceuticals Biological drugs (biopharmaceutics or biopharmaceuticals) are natural biologically active substances and artificially synthesized or semi-synthesized natural substances that are prepared from components such as organisms, biological tissues, or organs, and comprehensively apply the principles and methods of biology, biochemistry, and other disciplines. Biological drugs mainly include biochemical drugs, biotechnology drugs, and biological products. Biochemical drugs: generally refer to the basic substances of life extracted from animals, plants and microorganisms, which can also be semi-synthesized by bio-chemistry, or obtained by modern biotechnology, such as amino acids, polypeptides, proteins, enzymes, coenzymes, polysaccharides , nucleotides, lipids and biogenic amines, as well as their derivatives, degradation products and structural modifications of macromolecules. Biotechnology drugs: refer to drugs derived from biological sources and manu...

  On the one hand, the burden on the eyes brought by electronic products has increased, and on the other hand, the eye health awareness of "seeing clearly and comfortably" has been improved.  High Growth, High Barriers, and High Prosperity Chinese ophthalmic drugs are rising explosively! The number of ophthalmology patients in China far exceeds that of the United States, reaching 1 billion, but the ophthalmic drug market is less than one-fifth of that of the United States.  In China's ophthalmic drug market, which started relatively late, the understanding of the pathogenesis of ophthalmic diseases is relatively lagging behind, and the innovative R&D capabilities are relatively weak.  It can be said that independent research and development of ophthalmic drugs is destined to be a road of groping in the dark.  On this road, Raymon Pharma is constantly moving forward with the lights on, exploring the dream of light. In March 2023, the eye drops RA1115-B1 self-...

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease. The disease course is primarily characterized by a decline in β-cell function and worsening of insulin resistance. Therefore, various antidiabetic agents are under research and development. The hypoglycemic strategy has also shifted from "sugar control" to both "sugar control" and "heart protection". GLP-1R agonists can improve left ventricular ejection fraction, myocardial contractility, coronary blood flow, cardiac output, and endothelial function while reducing infarction size and overall risks for a cardiovascular event. Other functions of GLP-1 include increased glucose uptake in the muscles, decreased glucose production in the liver, neuroprotection, and increased satiety due to direct actions on the hypothalamus. At present, the therapeutic application and potential value of GLP-1RAs in diabetes has become a research hotspot. In the formulation of GLP-1 integrated research plan, Medicilon has in-depth commun...
