Increasing Research Activities Drive Development of Catalog Peptides

Every year, over 9.5 million people die of cancer each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This is because either patients are diagnosed in later stages, or the drugs aren’t able to target tumors that well. A lot of cancers are formed due to the disruption in the pathways activated by peptides, which are essentially short chains of amino acids; a peptide of more than 50 amino acids is known as a protein. Since the establishment of the fact that protein pathway disruption is a potential cause of cancer, extensive research and development (R&D) has been put in to remedy this.

Synthesis of Custom Peptides Boosting Drug Development

Presently, the pharmaceutical sector is synthesizing peptides through multiple processes, on account of technological advancements. In earlier times, peptides were produced with the help of natural sources. For instance, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was developed from porcine and bovine pituitary, and insulin was derived from bovine and canine pancreas. These manufacturing processes were time consuming and resulted in low production. However, with innovations in technology, biopharmaceutical companies have started creating synthetic peptides like vasopressin, leuprorelin, oxytocin, and octreotide with the help of solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), hybrid and recombinant technology, and solution-phase peptide synthesis (SPS) technologies.
