TEHRAN (ANA)- Specialists of a knowledge-based company in Iran succeeded in finding the formulation and producing the active ingredients used in pharmaceutical industry by applying the synthesis technology.
“One of the most important complications in production of active ingredients in most countries is the technology required for the pre-production process. In fact, certain steps should be taken by researchers to reach the final active ingredient,” Maryam Jahangir, an expert and representative of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
She added that the remarkable thing about the active ingredient is that in addition to their indigenization, they have a completely exclusive application in the pharmaceutical industry.
“The special technology used in the production process of the active ingredient is the advanced synthesis of active medicinal substances,” Jahangir said.
She also noted that at present, almost all manufacturers of Clobetasol propionate use the active ingredient produced by the knowledge-based company, adding that during the coronavirus outbreak in Iran, the pharmaceutical manufacturers of Dexamethasone were also a special customer of the active ingredients.
