BULK DRUG PARK.#
Governmentinitiatives ◇
Himachal Pradesh is vying for the allotment of a bulk drug park under a
central government scheme announced earlier this year.
◇ A bulk drug, also called an
active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), is key ingredient of a drug or medicine, which lends it the desired
therapeutic effect or produces intended
pharmacological activity.◇ APIs are prepared from
multiple reactions involving chemicals and solvents. The primary chemical or the basic raw material which undergoes reactions to form an API is called the
Key Starting Material (KSM).◇ Chemical compounds formed during the intermediate stages during these reactions are called
Drug Intermediates (DIs).
