R&D Vision

The mission of Nexpharm Korea for the next generation is human

R&D Institute of Nexpharm Korea has built research abilities to a large
volume of new generic drugs, new preparations, incrementally modified
combination drugs, natural medicines and biological products.
As the results, Nexpharm Korea became a new leading player
in CMO market in Korea with sophisticated
formulation technologies than ones of innovative drugs.
Formulation technology and its status
Nexpharm Korea's formulation technology is superior in quality, more stable than the original ones, and its manufacturing method improves manufacturing and distribution costs. This is a major success factor of CMO business. It is a result of the combination of the latest process technology as well as the advanced pharmaceutical technology of Nexpharm which correspond to requirements on the quality and price competitiveness.
Technology and its status of development ability of natural medicines
Nexpharm Korea has been developing new natural medicines such as High blood triglycerides drugs, Osteoarthritis drugs, Fatty liver drugs, diabetic retinopathy drugs, and antiobesic drugs. In addition, 32 final candidate compounds were found out of 480 kinds of single natural compound. Core technology in the research and development of natural products for new drugs has already been acknowledged as a leading company in the bio-theme cluster project conducted from 2013 to 2014.
