The Role of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Manufacturers in India

1. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients- The next go-to of the Generation Z What are Active PharmaceuticalIngredients (APIs) The word API arises from a Greek origin word, ‘Pharmacos’, meaning Pharmacon that connotes to a magical substance or a kind of a magical drug. A drug or a medicine is essentially composed of 2 key components; the API and the excipient. The excipient in the drug/medicine is the substance of the medicine (for example, excipient is liquid, in a case of syrups). The Excipient is not responsible for the drug working on the body; rather, it is the API that does the required work.

2. A biologically active ingredient or drug in nature is known as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and is also known as an Active Ingredient (AI) in short. They are used in medicines and drugs, produced in bulk for the mankind. These biologically active ingredients’ containing pharmaceutical drugs when consumed break down into the gut to bring about biochemical (biological and chemical reactions at the same time) reactions to bring about a change (desired or undesired) in the human body. APIs are also used to manufacture generic drugs which as more mass produced than specific pharmaceutical drugs. Not only allopathic medicines, but herbal medicines also employ the use of APIs in their medications and concoctions; and mostly, these medicines contain a group of APIs, unlike the allopathic ones. However, a lot of APIs together can cause unwanted biochemical reactions within the body that can cause life- threatening complications to the human body. So, allopathic medicines that often use one API or two at the most are much safer to use by the medicinal standards. Manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) One of the top leading Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient manufacturers in India is Jigs Chemicals that holds expertise in manufacturing potent and active biological ingredients to be made into drugs combining them with the right excipient. Bringing into play both physical and chemical processes, raw materials are used to make APIs, using multi-step, high-tech stage processes like chemical synthesis, chromatography, high-tech X-rays, extractions, crystallisation, etc. that require class facilities to manufacture these in sound facilities.

3. The most stable form of using the APIs in drugs is their crystalline form, which is thermodynamically resistant. These APIs are manufactured to be combined with a variety of excipients that differ in their patterns of use. The excipients may be intravenous liquid for faster action, tablets, capsules, liquids, syrups, drops, etc. These days, the potent insulin drug which was traditionally available in liquid IV form is now started to be manufactured in the form of tablets for better shelf life and an easier and convenient consumption. Adhering to safety standards while producing APIs is extremely essential to prevent any safety hazards and it is just what Jigs Chemicals uses as they are one of the most reputed APIs manufacturers in India.
