Our Bureau, Mumbai
Tuesday, August 06, 2013, 12:25 Hrs [IST]
Piramal Enterprises Ltd has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Investigational New Drug (IND) P7435. This is a novel, potent and highly selective, oral diacylglycerolacyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitor.
P7435 has been developed by the NCE Research Division of PEL for the management of metabolic disorders such as lipid abnormalities and diabetes. It is well-established that increased lipid levels’ (including triglycerides) is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been reported by the World Health Organisation, that CVD, is the number one cause of deaths globally, representing approximately 30 per cent of all deaths. Currently, there is a significant medical need for effective and safe drugs for the management of lipid abnormalities and metabolic disorders.
P7435 has demonstrated its lipid lowering potential in various preclinical studies by showing significant reduction in triglyceride levels, glucose and insulin levels,and decrease in food intake and body weight gain -factors which are associated with lipid abnormalities and metabolic disorders.
PEL has established the safety and tolerability of P7435 in a phase I trial recently completed in India. This extension trial in the US will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of P7435 in a larger population.
Dr Swati Piramal, vice chairperson, Piramal Enterprises, said, “The NCE Research division of PEL continues its ambitious diabetes/metabolic disorders programme to discover and develop NCEs to fight against diseases like diabetes and lipid disorders. With P7435 we are looking at addressing a serious need for effective and well-tolerated drugs that treat lipid disorders, which are commonly associated with diabetes and CVDs. Expansion of this trial will allow testing this NCE in a wider population,which is critical to the development of this drug and will provide therapeutic solutions not just to India but also to the rest of the world.”
The NCE Research division of Piramal Enterprises focuses on the discovery and development of innovative small molecule medicines to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, metabolic disorders and inflammatory conditions. The key elements of its strategy include capitalizing on Piramal’s strengths, in particular the India advantage, and leveraging external partnerships to achieve high levels of R&D productivity. Piramal’s state-of-the-art Research Centre in Mumbai has comprehensive capabilities spanning target identification all the way through clinical development. Its robust pipeline, including 8 compounds in clinical development, bears testimony to its innovative and rigorous drug discovery process.

Indian pharma’s struggle to tighten standards paves way for M&A deals
MUMBAI – India’s smaller generic drugmakers, struggling to cope with a bruised reputation and tougher regulation in the United States, are under pressure to consider branching out to new, less-profitable markets or sell out to larger rivals.
Two years after its most high-profile regulatory setback to date in the United States – Ranbaxy’s $500 million U.S. fine for drug safety violations – India’s $15 billion a year generic drug industry is still rebuilding its image in its biggest market.
Many of its top firms are facing sanctions at some of their factories, as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tightens checks and its approvals process.
Combined with government-mandated price controls on drugs at home, that is piling pressure on smaller players.
“If they want to have a presence globally, they have to make investments. If they can’t, then they’ll have to focus on other markets or scale back their ambition outside of India, and that’s probably what will happen,” said Subhanu Saxena, CEO of Cipla , India’s fourth-largest drugmaker by revenue.
Ashok Anand, president of Hikal Ltd , a Mumbai-based drugmaker with a market value of $167 million, said some peers were putting themselves on the block.
“If they cannot deal with the stricter regulations, they might just prefer to sell out,” he said.
Pressure on U.S. sales has been felt across the Indian industry, with all drugmakers hit by delays in FDA approvals as the U.S. safety body overhauls its review process. Growth in U.S. revenue for drugmakers slowed to 14 percent in the year to March 2015, less than half what it was in the year to March 2012, according to brokerage Edelweiss.
But for larger players who want to plug gaps or, for the likes of Glenmark and Aurobindo who aim to grow in the United States, this pressure has lowered prices and could pave the way for attractive deals, bankers said.
“Now that some of the smaller companies are reeling under intensive regulatory scrutiny and want to cash out on their investments, valuations would be much more realistic,” said the head of India M&A at a large European bank in Mumbai.
SPENDING SPREE
Indian manufacturers say they have spent millions in high-end testing equipment, improved training and have hired larger teams in quality control since Ranbaxy was fined for manipulating clinical data.
Some consultants estimate spending on compliance has more than doubled to reach about 6 to 7 percent of sales for the larger companies.
But while the number of U.S. export bans issued to Indian companies fell to eight in 2014 from 21 in 2013, according to FDA data, the agency continues to find manufacturing violations at the plants of some of the biggest drugmakers in the country, an indication of the pervasiveness of the problem.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries , Wockhardt , Dr Reddy’s Laboratories and Cadila Healthcarehave all faced FDA rebukes over the past year.
Smaller firms Ipca and Aarti Drugs faced FDA bans on their plants this year.
These failures – which executives blame on India’s “quick fix” culture and consultants blame on a failure to prioritize compliance – have clouded short-term growth prospects and added to pressure on smaller players, pushing some to look elsewhere.
“They can choose to be in lesser-regulated markets, such as Latin America, where there is a lot of demand. But they will have to live with much thinner margins,” said the finance director of a small Indian drugmaker, who did not want to be named. “It’s survival of the fittest.” REUTERS

Process Intensification
Creating competitive advantage through Improved and consistent quality, high efficiencies and maximum flexibility.
Safer, Cleaner, Smaller, Cheaper and Smarter processes , The basic principle of Process Intensification is to fit the equipment to the process and not process to the equipment, as is the case now.
Process Intensification can achieve drastic improvement in the time cycle and yields as well as converting batch processes to continuous process using specialized set of equipment. The design philosophy in process intensification is to design a process which has Chemical Kinetics as its only limitation. See the illustration below
“Process Intensification by Kinetics alone controlling the reaction, using specialized equipments; modification / telescoping of process steps achieves drastic reduction in time cycles and converts batch processes to continuous ; Reduced energy consumption, Reduced by-product formation; sustainability , hazard-containment, compliance to QbD and PAT and importantly a much faster time-to-market”
Illustrative examples are as follows:
- Watt’s aldol reaction: Time needed to reach 100 % conversion 20 minutes against 24 hours in batch process
- Fisher Esterification:
gives 83% yield against 15% in batch process
- Grignard Reaction:
gives 78% yield against 49% in batch process
- Nitration Reaction: Product purity increase from 56% to 78% and yield of mononitrate increases 55% to 75%.
- Other Reactions: Acetylation, Amine Protection, Carbonylation, Claisen Schmidt Reaction, Esterification, Hydrogenation, Hydrolysis, Methylation, Oxidation, Phosgenation, Sulphonation, Suzuki Coupling Ring Expansion
