Biodrugs, Biomolecules and Therapeutics

A biologic drug (biologic) is a product made from living organisms or containing living organism components. Biologic medications are a broad category of biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals originating from humans, animals, or microorganisms. Vaccines, blood, blood components, cells, allergens, genes, tissues, and recombinant proteins are examples of biologic medications.

Biomolecules are the jack-of-all-trades of medicine: they can do it all. They can be used to diagnose and treat cancer diseases; they can also be used to treat multiple sclerosis and asthma; and they can help activate the body's natural immune defenses with flu and polio vaccinations. New biomolecules are continually being developed in pharmaceutical industry laboratories: Specific antibodies, tailored proteins, and nucleic acids — the genetic material's fundamental components — are all regarded as prospective therapeutic candidates.

Biotherapeutics, often known as biologicals, are drug therapy products in which the active ingredient is derived from a biological source. Biotherapeutics are a rapidly growing segment of the pharmaceutical market, accounting for nearly half of all new drug approvals in recent years.
