The company plans to raise 349 million yuan this time for projects such as an annual production line of 395 kilograms of peptide APIs.

Rich product line

shengnuo biotechnology’s main business is independent research and development, production and sales of peptide APIs and preparation products. At the same time, the company relies on the advantages of peptide drug research and development and large-scale production technology to provide pharmaceutical companies with peptide innovative drug pharmaceutical research services, peptide product customized production services, and peptide drug production technology transfer services.

In addition, the company provides small-molecule chemical drug levosimendan preparations on behalf of processing and levosimendan bulk drug production, export sales business.

The company is well-known in the field of peptide drug research and development and production, and has successively provided pharmaceutical research services for more than 30 projects for new drug research and development companies and scientific research institutions such as Paige Biotech, Biotech Pharmaceuticals, and Eight Plus One.

Among them, 1 product was approved for marketing and entered the commercialization stage, and 7 innovative peptide drugs entered the clinical trial stage. The company selects peptide generic drugs with greater market capacity and strong market competitiveness for research and development, and has mastered the large-scale production technology of 15 varieties of APIs.

Among them, 7 varieties have been approved for domestic production, 8 varieties have been registered with the US DMF (activated state), and 8 peptide preparation varieties for extended development have received 12 domestic production approvals. The products cover immune system diseases, tumors, and cardiovascular diseases. , Treatment of chronic hepatitis B, diabetes and obstetric diseases.

Enfuvirtide and carbetocin injections for injection of the company’s peptide preparation products are the first imitation peptide drugs in China;

synthesis of bivalrudine, liraglutide, thymosin, icatibant, enfuvirtide, etc. The more difficult generic APIs have been exported to international markets such as Europe, America, India, South Korea and other international markets.

The end customers include Fresenius, Aurobindo, Mylan, Lupin, and Sinopec. Litai, Shanghai Pharmaceutical First Biochemical, Yangzijiang and other well-known pharmaceutical companies; the two preparations of icatibant and posaconazole that the company has submitted drug registration applications are listed in the “First Batch of Encouraged Generic Drugs List” by the National Health Commission “.

According to QYResearch, the global peptide drug market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.9%, and the market size will reach 49.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2027. The peptide drug market still has huge room for growth.

Although the peptide drug market in my country started late, it has developed rapidly. Sales rose from 5.6 billion yuan in 2009 to 29.56 billion yuan in 2017, with an average annual compound growth rate of 23.12%, which is much higher than the overall growth of the global peptide drug market.

speed. With the introduction of policies to encourage the research and development of innovative drugs and promote the consistency evaluation of generic drugs, it is expected that more innovative peptide drugs and peptide generic drugs with significant clinical effects will be approved for marketing in the future, and the peptide drug market in my country will further expand.

Master multiple core technologies

From 2018 to 2020 (reporting period), the company’s R&D investment was 15.6843 million yuan, 11.5981 million yuan, and 22.4851 million yuan, accounting for 5.64%, 3.55%, and 5.94% of operating income in the same period.

Since its establishment, the company has been engaged in the research and development of large-scale production technology for peptide drugs, accumulated advanced peptide synthesis and modification technology and experience, and successfully developed a number of popular API varieties.

The number of varieties of peptide APIs and the number of foreign service projects owned by the company are among the best in China. With its own advantages in peptide drug synthesis route design, process research and development, industrial chain platform and technical personnel experience, the company has mastered the long-chain peptide coupling technology, the large-scale production technology of monosulfide cyclic peptides, and the synthesis of multiple pairs of disulfide cyclic peptides.

Technology, PEGylation modification, fatty acid modification and other independent core technologies for peptide synthesis and modification have successfully solved the technical bottleneck of the large-scale production of multiple peptide APIs.

At present, the company has 25 invention patents. In addition, the company has a large number of non-patented technologies, mainly including pharmaceutical production formulas and corresponding production and processing techniques.

The company has 5 core technical personnel, all of whom have rich theoretical and practical experience in peptide research and development. Among them, Wen Yong, the company’s chief scientist and chairman, is one of the earliest experts in the field of peptide drugs in China. Other core personnel have more than 15 years of research and practical experience. The company’s core technical personnel are stable, and the research and development capabilities continue to grow.

Proposed to raise 349 million yuan

During the reporting period, the company’s operating income increased from 278 million yuan in 2018 to 379 million yuan in 2020; net profit increased from 29,861,300 yuan in 2018 to 59,997,800 yuan in 2020. The main business income accounted for more than 98%, and the other business income was mainly from the sale of raw and auxiliary materials.
