Deformation of an active ingredient in the laboratory
You want to make a deformation of your active ingredient?
What is an active ingredient?
An active ingredient is a chemical substance present in the composition of a drug that gives it its therapeutic or preventive properties.
There are several ways to synthesize active ingredients on an industrial scale:
They can be extracted from natural sources, an interesting technique especially when the active substances are relatively complex
By chemical means, when the active ingredients are simple
and finally, by genetic engineering by inserting a gene coding for a protein into a bacterium, for example.
Why distort the active ingredient of your pharmaceutical products?
This process of deformation is particularly used by manufacturers in order to :
Develop a new formulation of the active ingredient
Analyze two formulations of the active ingredient in a comparative way (double-sourcing or multi-surcing)
Determine the exact composition of the active ingredient
Analyze and identify an impurity in the active ingredient
