Reportlinker Adds Nitric Oxide - Therapeutics, Markets and Companies
NEW YORK, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Nitric Oxide - Therapeutics, Markets and Companies
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0203547/Nitric-Oxide---Therapeutics-Markets-and-Companies.html
Summary
This report describes the latest concepts of the role of nitric oxide (NO) in health and disease as a basis for therapeutics and development of new drugs. Major segments of the market for nitric oxide-based drugs are described as well as the companies involved in developing them.
Nitric oxide (NO) can generate free radicals as well as scavenge them. It also functions as a signaling molecule and has an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases. A major focus is delivery of NO by various technologies. Another approach is modulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which converts L-arginine to NO. NOS can be stimulated as well as inhibited by pharmacological and gene therapy approaches.
Important therapeutic areas for NO-based therapies are inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, erectile dysfunction, inflammation, pain and neuroprotection. The first therapeutic use of NO was by inhalation for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). NO-donors, NO-mimics and NOS modulators are described and compared along with developmental status. NO-related mechanisms of action in existing drugs are identified.
Various pharmacological approaches are described along with their therapeutic relevance. Various approaches are compared using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. NO-based therapies are compared with conventional approaches and opportunities for combination with modern biotechnology approaches are described.
Share of drugs where NO is involved in the mechanism of action is analyzed in the worldwide pharmaceutical market for 2009 and is projected to 2014 and 2019 as new drugs with NO-based mechanisms are introduced into the market. Various strategies for developing such drugs are discussed.
Several companies have a product or products involving NO and free radicals. The report includes profiles of 41 companies involved in this area of which 12 have a significant interest in NO-based therapeutics. Other players are pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as suppliers of products for NO research. Unfulfilled needs in the development of NO-based therapeutics are identified. Important 19 collaborations in this area are tabulated.
As of the end of 2009, there are over 100,000 publications relevant to NO. Selected 500 references are included in the bibliography. The text is supplemented with 26 tables and 23 figures. It is concluded that the future prospects for NO-based therapies are bright and fit in with biotechnology-based approaches to modern drug discovery and development. It is anticipated that some of these products will help in meeting the unfulfilled needs in human therapeutics.
