    Excipient Market Overview: Roquette, Seqens, Evonik make strategic moves; new guidelines deal with contamination

    Excipient Market Overview: Roquette, Seqens, Evonik make strategic moves; new guidelines deal with contamination

    The pharmaceutical industry has long recognized the critical role excipients or inactive ingredients play in drug formulation and delivery. Excipients can comprise up to 90 percent of a medicine's total ingredients and serve crucial functions as binders, disintegrants, coatings, preservatives, colors, and flavorings. According to recent market research, the pharmaceutical excipients market was valued at US$ 9.27 billion in 2023. It is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.03 percent and is projected to reach US$ 18.48 billion by 2032. The main factors driving market growth is an increased demand for multifunctional excipients, coupled with the expanding use of generic medications. The development in the biologics sector and advancements in nanotechnology are also contributing significantly to market growth. Major excipient providers include BASF, Evonik, Merck KGaA owned MilliporeSigma, Gangwal Healthcare, Roquette Frères, DuPont, Croda International, Seqens, Boai NKY Pharmaceuticals, PMC Isochem, Minakem, Kewpie Corporation, Ashland Global, SPI Pharma, Pfanstiehl, Nanjing Well Pharmaceutical, ICE Pharma, Anhui Ribobay Pharmaceutical and Nippon Fine Chemical.  View Our Dashboard on Major Excipient Companies in 2024 (Free Excel Available) WHO, India’s CDSCO tighten regulations; new GMP guidelines implemented to curb contamination Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a health alert linking at least 300 child deaths in the Gambia, Uzbekistan, and Indonesia to the ingestion of contaminated cough syrups containing unacceptable levels of diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG). In response to the tragic events, the WHO released two draft appendices to its guideline on good manufacturing practices (GMPs) for excipients this year. Manufacturers are now required to use suitable risk assessment tools to identify and mitigate potential hazards.  Since India-made cough syrups had been linked to the deaths, India’s drug regulator — Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) — took steps to prevent contamination, and advised drugmakers to only use pharmaceutical-grade excipients from approved sources. Furthermore, the Indian Health Ministry proposed amendments to the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 to include details of excipients on drug labels. While listing all excipients on every strip of medicine may be challenging, the ministry suggested mentioning those causing hypersensitivity on the label. Applicants now mandatorily need to submit evidence of stability and safety of excipients. These regulatory developments have significant implications for excipient manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Leading pharmaceutical excipient firms like Gangwal Healthcare, Sigachi Industries, and Nitika Pharmaceuticals are well-positioned to meet these heightened quality and safety standards, given their long-standing commitment to producing high-quality, compliant excipients.  View Our Dashboard on Major Excipient Companies in 2024 (Free Excel Available)   Roquette buys IFF’s pharma unit for US$ 2.85 bn; Evonik opens new spray-drying facility in Darmstadt In a significant industry move, France-based Roquette entered into an agreement to acquire IFF's pharma solutions business in a deal valued at US$ 2.85 billion. This acquisition is set to rebalance family-owned Roquette’s portfolio around health and nutrition. The deal is expected to accelerate Roquette’s growth and significantly strengthen its presence in the excipients market. Evonik has opened a new facility for drying aqueous dispersions of its Eudragit polymers at its site in Darmstadt, Germany. The facility will help Evonik meet increasing demand from drugmakers for its oral drug delivery solutions. The plant uses green energy solutions. The company has also partnered University of Mainz to commercialize a new class of polyethylene glycols (PEG) lipids for nucleic acid delivery. Evonik’s Health Care business has been growing its nucleic acid drug and vaccine delivery portfolio.  Germany’s Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz was the first to develop randomized polyethylene glycols (rPEGs). This collaboration aims to expand Evonik’s toolbox of technologies for nucleic acid-based medicines, offering an improved immunogenicity profile for lipid nanoparticle carriers used in mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. Asahi Kasei made significant strides in addressing a pressing industry concern that emerged in 2018 when potentially carcinogenic nitrosamine impurities were detected in several pharmaceuticals. Guided by regional authorities, such as the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration, the pharmaceutical industry has been carrying out extensive assessments and research to identify the cause of these impurities. In response to this challenge, Asahi Kasei developed its Ceolus microcrystalline cellulose with extremely low nitrite levels. The Japanese company achieved nitrite concentrations of 0.1 micrograms per gram or less, which is equivalent to 0.1 parts per million (ppm). The company also started full commercial operation of its second manufacturing facility for Ceolus in Japan, enhancing supply capacity and stability. JRS Pharma and Gujarat Microwax opened a state-of-the-art cotton-based croscarmellose sodium plant in Mehsana, Gujarat (India). This facility aims to produce high-quality excipients that meet global standards, potentially reducing India's dependency on imports and boosting its presence in the global excipient market.

    Looking for highly potent drug substances or HPAPIs? Find a CDMO, CMO offering high potent complex APIs, intermediates & cytotoxics on PharmaCompass. Q1. What are High Potency APIs (HPAPIs)? How do HPAPIs differ from APIs? High Potency APIs (HPAPIs) are defined as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) that require special handling due to toxicity and use extremely small doses in finished drugs.  High Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPI) are effective at much smaller dosage levels than traditional APIs, but their potent characteristics present specific highly potent API handling challenges.  Although there is no standard classification for the potency of pharmaceuticals, all potent molecules can be defined as powerfully active, noxious materials needing only very small quantities of dosing to have an effect.  HPAPI compounds or highly potent compounds are also known for their ability to target diseased cells more precisely and selectively than other APIs. Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) or High Potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) are extremely effective pharmacologically active ingredients.  A growing number of pharmaceutical products contain Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs), which has led to an explosive growth in demand for the production of HPAPIs using state of the art development methods of Highly Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HAPIs) whilst adhering to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines. These highly potent API or high-potency APIs (HPAPIs) are frequently characterized by complex API structures requiring multi-step processes or semi-synthesis, often involving more than 10 steps. For drug-substance manufacturing, the highly potent API (HPAPI) may be a small-molecule, biologic compound or antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which contains a cytotoxic compound, a small-molecule bound to a monoclonal antibody. High-Potency APIs (HPAPIs) are most commonly used in hormonal drugs for breast cancer, followed by glaucoma medication. Highly potent API services (High potent CDMO services) are also used in formulating cardiovascular drugs, central nervous system drugs and musculoskeletal drugs. Therefore, the high-potency API (HPAPI) market covers a wide range of product types across several therapeutic areas, although oncology-focused medicines continue to lead in terms of innovative pipeline candidates and upcoming generic entries.  Q2. What are the special facilities required for the handling and development of HPAPIs? The cytotoxicity of High Potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) or Highly Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HAPIs) presents highly potent API handling challenges and requires heavy investment in specialized containment equipment to ensure that employees and their environment are protected from exposure.  HPAPIs are complex APIs which require specialized facility design, equipment, operation and process safety throughout their drug development process and commercial scale production, in order to overcome HAPI containment challenges and ensure operator safety.  Large-scale highly potent API (HPAPI) manufacturing, is therefore increasingly being outsourced to specialized contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) offering contract development and manufacturing of highly potent APIs with exceptional infrastructure, expertise and track records in place.  Drug manufacturers are developing high potent drugs, and despite the lack of specific environmental and safety regulations, HPAPIs have become fertile ground for contract manufacturing and for contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs & CMOs for HPAPI manufacturing), which have been actively building up capacity over the past few years.  The following critical parameters covering HPAPI development or hi-potency (hi-potent) drug substance development should be considered when choosing a CDMO - contract development and manufacturing organization - partner offering contract development and manufacturing of highly potent APIs to manage shortened development timelines for HPAPI products: - Contract manufacturing Scale  - Quality Regime  - Pharmaceutical manufacturing (HAPI - High Potent Active Ingredient Manufacturing) - Containment  - Formulation & Enabling HPAPI Technology - Devices - Drug Product Supply  Once an appropriate CDMO is selected for HPAPI development & manufacturing services, the main features and special facilities required for the handling and development of High Potent APIs (High Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients - HPAPIs) are noted below: 1. Room pressure differentials designed to overcome HAPI containment challenges (with monitoring and verification), with the main HPAPI-handling or highly potent API handling area at negative pressure to surrounding rooms. 2. Airlocks and vestibules around pharmaceutical manufacturing (contract development and manufacturing of highly potent APIs) facility and laboratory spaces to provide gowning and de-gowning areas and proper pressure differentials. 3. Restricted access to ensure that only the necessary trained employees enter the HPAPI-handling areas. 4. Misting showers as part of exit vestibules to rinse personal protective equipment (PPE) and gowning prior to removal. 5. Filtration and capture of contaminants, with safe-change filters, both point source (within the isolator, ventilated enclosure) and the general HVAC exhaust system. Many contract manufacturers are building new facilities that are designed specifically for the manufacture of HPAPIs, which require an investment of millions of dollars beyond typical GMP (good manufacturing practices) production facilities.  This investment may include specialized facilities for HPAPI–antibody conjugations that incorporate both handling of high potent APIs and biologics processing capabilities. As in other areas of pharmaceutical manufacturing, in HAPI (High Potent Active Ingredient) manufacturing, disposable or flexible containment technologies are becoming important in HPAPI manufacturing. Automated systems are already in operation across many facilities but this is likely to increase as processes become more integrated. As the demand increases for high potency drugs and development of highly active pharmaceutical ingredients (HAPIs) in biotechnology occur, there is the potential for closed systems to be developed to further protect operator and environment safety, however this will coincide with a reduction in production volumes. In summary, the product development of highly potent drug substances and drug products bring a number of challenges, but they are not insurmountable. Technologies to ensure safe handling procedures have now become widely available (e.g. isolators, split butterfly valves).  Q3. What are the processes involved in HPAPI manufacturing from process development to cGMP production? High Potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) are complex APIs which are highly specific in their action and offer significant efficiency even at low daily therapeutic doses. HPAPIs have the ability to target precise disease cells and are, hence, used in formulating highly potent drugs. The small, medium or large-scale highly potent API (HPAPI) manufacturing at desired levels of quality, requires highly specialized process development capabilities, as well as a broad mix of associated advanced technologies.  High potency manufacturing of highly potent compounds can have significant benefits, but they also present multiple challenges to companies offering contract manufacturing services for high potency APIs (HPAPIs) or high potency API (HPAPI) services, especially during commercial operations.  The development and transfer of HPAPI manufacturing processes to full production scale presents particular challenges to a CDMO facility or CMO for HPAPI manufacturing. It is especially important to conduct a full risk analysis including setting of Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) for each high potency chemical step. The procedures currently involved in HPAPI manufacturing encompassing process development & current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) production include:  - R&D laboratories (Batch size: From mg to g scale) 1. Analytical & Process transfer / familiarization 2. Process & analytical development of highly active pharmaceutical ingredients (HAPIs) 3. Process characterization 4. DoE (more information – faster – using less product) - Kilolabs (Batch size: From 20g to 500g) 5. cGMP production for clinical trials 6. Process validation 7. Clinical supply  Large-scale highly potent API (HPAPI) manufacturing (Batch size: From 500g to 10kg) 8. cGMP production at commercial scale  9. Commercial supply 10. Quality control - Method development / transfer / validation - IPC - Release testing - Stability studies Technological advances will further drive changes in the HPAPI manufacturing process. Given the risks involved with operator exposure to high potency drug products, however, there are certain technologies that we can expect to eliminate the potential risks, which will be incorporated into the manufacturing process — namely the use of robotics that will remove the operator from physically working with harmful substances. Q4. How are containment challenges for highly potent compounds (HPAPIs) handled? Regulatory demand for effective, lower-dose treatments combined with growing incidents of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases has seen many pharmaceutical companies focus their R&D investments in HPAPI products.  Furthermore, the life cycle of a highly potent or hi-potency (hi-potent) medicinal product is very complex, and therefore there are many issues to be considered to develop containment measures specific for each single case, which have to be based on preliminary risk assessments.  If an overall HAPI (High Potent Active Ingredient) manufacturing facility consists of three components — pharmaceutical materials, personnel and the environment surrounding them — containment is the isolation of the first of these components from the other two. Containment, how it is achieved, how it is measured, and how it is maintained are key considerations for any provider handling hi-potent or hi-potency materials. Moreover, high-containment manufacturing requires specialized approaches in facility design, equipment selection and manufacturing processes to overcome HAPI containment challenges, minimize operator exposure, and ensure worker protection and safety. The analysis should always proceed in parallel from three different points of view: the safety of workers, the evaluation of exposure limits and those of the risk of explosion for HPAPI powders. Containment measures thus start from primary ones, related to the characteristics of the equipment used to manipulate the drug substance, and are followed by secondary containment measures, those related to the characteristics of the buildings (i.e. HVAC systems). It is a key regulatory and safety requirement that prospective hazards associated with the handling of HPAPIs are identified and understood to enable the development of Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL).  Together with other factors including Short-Term Exposure Limits (STELs) and the physical properties of an API, the definition of an OEL plus associated health risk classifications enable organizations to conduct risk assessments for operators working in HPAPI facilities.  These assessments can then be used to establish and maintain safety and containment controls that minimize exposure risk regardless of the manufacturing stage or production site.  Conformance to pharmaceutical regulatory requirements and ICH guidelines also requires a thorough consideration of other quality and safety procedures to prevent the release of an HPAPI or intermediates, or cross-contamination with other products manufactured at the site. Following standard risk management and industrial hygiene methodology, it is important to first recognize, evaluate and control the handling of HPAPIs—and to revisit this process periodically, capturing any changes in available product data, manufacturing processes or containment HPAPI technology. For safe handling of highly potent — and often highly toxic — materials, manufacturing practices have moved away from reliance on personal protective equipment (PPE) alone, with current practices focusing on “containment at source,” using isolator technologies, to prevent operator exposure to such compounds during processing. Q5. Which HPAPI development and manufacturing services does Minakem offer?
