Scope and Importance:-

Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) or old drugs into a medication to be used safely and effectively by patients. It is also called the science of dosage form design. There are many chemicals with pharmacological properties, but need special measures to help them achieve therapeutically relevant amounts at their sites of action. Pharmaceutics helps relate the formulation of drugs to their delivery and disposition in the body. Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug substance into a dosage form. Branches of pharmaceutics include:

• Pharmaceutical formulation
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Dispensing pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical technology
• Physical pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical jurisprudence

About Venue:

London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south east of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km²) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19^th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.

London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism, and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is one of the world's leading financial centres and has the fifth-or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement. London is a world cultural capital. It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic. London is the world's leading investment destination, hosting more international retailers and ultra-high net-worth individuals than any other city. London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe, and a 2014 report placed it first in the world university rankings. According to the report London also ranks first in the world in software, multimedia development and design, and shares first position in technology readiness. In 2012, London became the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.

London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken within Greater London. The Office for National Statistics estimated its mid-2014 population to be 8,538,689, the largest of any municipality in the European Union, and accounting for 12.5 percent of the UK population. London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants according to the 2011 census. The city's metropolitan area is one of the most populous in Europe with 13,879,757 inhabitants, while the Greater London Authority states the population of the city-region (covering a large part of the south east) as 22.7 million. London was the world's most populous city from around 1831 to 1925.

Market Value on Pharmaceutical Research:-

Country Statistics:-

Top 10 pharmaceutical companies based on European prescription drug revenues in 2014 (in billion U.S. dollars)

This statistic depicts the top ten pharmaceutical companies based on prescription drug revenues in Europe in 2014. In that year, GlaxoSmithKline generated 8.1 billion U.S. dollars of prescription drug revenue in Europe. Global prescription drug sales are expected to reach about one trillion U.S. dollars by 2020. There is an increasing growth in sales of biological products.

 

Worldwide Statistics:-

Top 20 pharmaceutical companies based on worldwide prescription drug revenues in 2014 (in million U.S. dollars)

The top pharmaceutical companies in the world are Novartis, Pfizer, and Sanofi, based on 2014 pharmaceutical revenues. The companies generated 51.3 billion U.S. dollars, 44.9 billion U.S. dollars, and 40 billion U.S. dollars, respectively, in the year 2014.

Pharmaceutical companies are best known for manufacturing pharmaceutical drugs. These drugs have the aim to diagnose, to cure, to treat, or to prevent diseases. The pharmaceutical sector represents a huge industry, with the global pharmaceutical market being worth nearly one trillion U.S. dollars. The best known top global pharmaceutical players are Pfizer, Merck and Johnson & Johnson from the U.S., Novartis and Roche from Switzerland, Sanofi from France, etc. Most of these companies are involved not only in pure pharmaceutical business, but also manufacture medical technology and consumer health products, vaccines, etc. For example, Johnson & Johnson makes most of its revenues through medical devices, diagnostics and consumer health products.

 

Market Growth of Pharmaceutical Research in the last and upcoming ten years

Pharmaceuticals are one of the world's most profitable industries. During the last 30 years, the industry has spent billions of dollars on research and reaped billions in return. In 2008 alone, the pharmaceutical industry sold $773 billion in products worldwide-a number that has consistently grown for the past 8 years and is projected to increase again by 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2017, according to the drug market research firm IMS Health.

But the process that turns research dollars into medicines is a slow and often arduous one. It now takes an average of 12 to 15 years and up to $1.7 billion for a drug to go from discovery to market, according to The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. And despite all the time and money invested, only a handful of drugs are approved by the FDA each year.

The arduous drug approval process reveals a central fact about Big Pharma: it's one of the most intensely regulated industries in the world. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its European Union counterpart, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), govern every aspect of a drug's development-from chemicals used in the drug and clinical study instructions, called protocols, to packaging components and marketing materials. This strict oversight is meant to protect patient safety, and pharma companies take regulatory oversight seriously. The constant pressure to adhere to government mandates shapes every aspect of a pharma firm's organization, operations, and culture. For example, drug companies maintain powerful regulatory affairs divisions-the departments that deal with government agencies-and they tend to be risk-averse.

Country Statistics:-

• Growth in the EU5 is expected in the -1 to 2% range through 2016 compared to 3.8% for 2007-11, as national debt incurred due to the global economic crisis will be addressed through austerity programs and healthcare cost containment.
• Limited savings from patent expires in the forecast period are prompting policy shifts to encourage greater use of generics and lower reimbursement, particularly in Spain.
• Policies to examine the value newer medicines bring, when assessing their reimbursement prices, are being adopted in the UK with “value-based pricing” and in Germany with assessments under the AMNOG program.
• Governments will take direct actions to control spending growth, or in some cases make real reductions, particularly in hospital spending.

Funds allotted to Pharmaceutical Research:-

Worldwide:-

Pharma companies have traditionally funded their internal R&D efforts totally on their own by investing 15% or more of their top line revenues to pay for these endeavours’. In addition, in order to tap into R&D going on outside their companies, pharma has financially supported external R&D efforts in deals with small biotech companies, research institutes, and universities. In fact, as funding for agencies like the NIH has stagnated over recent years, pharma has become an important source of funds to support early stage research.

Despite R&D budgets in the billions of dollars, pharma is now seeking to supplement their internal R&D investments with outside funding. One source has been major foundations.  The recent Cystic Fibrosis Foundation investment of $58 million into Pfizer R&D to support new research into areas for this disease is a perfect example. The justification for such deals is that pharma companies have a proven R&D track record for delivering new medicines, and the foundations feel that, by tapping into these scientists, they can maximize their chances for getting breakthrough medications.

Now Pharma has found a new investor for its R&D efforts – the U.S. government. In what is being hailed as the a “first-of-its-kind” collaboration, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has entered into a potential $200 million antibiotics pact with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a division of Health & Human Services (HHS), to develop drugs to fight antibiotic resistance and bioterrorism. HHS will provide $40 million for the first 18 months of the deal to develop several antibiotics in the GSK portfolio. The work will be monitored by a joint BARDA-GSK committee and, if warranted, the agreement can be renewed with HHS providing additional funding of up to a total of $200 million over 5 years.
