About inflamed pharma GmbH

inflamed pharma GmbH produces, researches and develops chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredients and is a pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturer of products applied in innovative therapies for human and veterinary medicine. One of these substances is an active pharmaceutical ingredient based on the active pharmaceutical ingredient substance procaine.
Procaine is a globally used active pharmaceutical ingredient substance in the category of local anesthetics, it is well-tested, low in side-effects and applied in various indications, for instance, in neural therapy. The application in relation with pain and inflammation such as arthritis and arthrosis is less established but crucial. Through the patented manufacturing process, the formerly solely parental available pharmaceutical ingredient is now useable for oral and dermal application and it is possible to realize synergistic effects in terms of impact. This is possible through an enhanced bioavailability. This technology of clustering, where the active pharmaceutical ingredient is integrated in a protecting shell, allows the transfer to other active pharmaceutical ingredients. This active pharmaceutical ingredient is currently used as extemporaneous mixture for manufacturing of pharmaceuticals of the inhouse production. Inflamed pharma GmbH is a GMP-certified manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients and aims to conduct a clinical study in cooperation with University Hospital Jena, leading to the application for approval.
