Overview
Innovation in pharmaceuticals is not possible without Research & Development. Morepen driven by its passion for adhering to International quality standards has created an excellent in-house R&D center, focused on identifying and manufacturing high value added, complex new molecules for introduction in the generic market.
Sophisticated, state-of-the art instruments like HPLC, GC, FTIR, UV spectrophotometer are used for standardisation of manufacturing processes.
Key areas in which the company carries out R&D include:
Maximising utilisation of indigenous raw materials and imports substitution.
Development of novel drug delivery systems.
Development of products based on medicinal plants.
Development of safety and environment conservation methods.
Process and product development for existing and new products.
R & D Activities - Breaking fresh groundPatent rules are being strengthened globally and there is urgent need of development of non-infringing processes of bulk drugs to capture global market. MLL is world leader as an approved generic supplier of Loratadine due to development of non-infringing commercially viable and cost effective manufacturing processes for the same. R&D scientists have also developed non-infringing processes for Montelukast Sodium (anti-asthematic), crystalline as well as amorphous Atorvastatin Calcium (Cholesterol lowering agents), Pioglitazone Hydrochloride (anti-diabetic), Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (anti-allergic), Linezolid (anti-bacterial). R&D scientists are involved in the development of non-infringing process of AliskirenHemifumarate (anti-hypertensive), EletriptanHydrobromide (antimigraine), Prasugrel (anti-platelet), Rosuvastatin calcium (antilipemic), Ezetimibe (antilipemic) &Voglibose (anti-diabetic), which are at advance stages. Morepen has also been granted process patent an Amorphous Atorvastatin Calcium in US & Canada whereas process patents on other molecules are under examination
