    CPC Biotech steps up heparinases production as CV-19 coronavirus response

    Monza Brianza, Italy: CPC Biotech, the specialist supplier of enzymes to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, has increased its production of heparinases in response to the global coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic.

    With ever greater emphasis on positive testing for the virus and for antibodies to indicate immunity, enoxaparin was found as a promising drug for CV-19 patients treatment. CPC joins only two other manufacturers, one in Europe and one in Canada, in supplying heparinases I, II, and III, critical enzymes needed to analyze and release enoxaparin drug.

    Combating CV-19 related thrombosis

    Heparinases I, II and III derived from Flavobacterium heparinum are enzymes used to analyse heparin and low molecular heparins. One of these targets is enoxaparin, now the subject of intense research focus as an anticoagulant drug that may provide vital therapy for CV-19 patients.

    In some cases, CV-19 infection leads to formation of thrombi (blood coagulation), causing the pulmonary thrombosis that accounts for a large proportion of CV-19 fatalities

    Enoxaparin has been used by several Northern Italian hospitals on the front line of the epidemic and initial data suggest that enoxaparin used in conjunction with other drugs can increase the proportion of patient recovery by up to 25%.

    Enoxaparin studies

    Italy’s national drug agency AIFA recently announced it had officially commissioned clinical trials and studies focused on enoxaparin. The overall aim of the studies is to increasing understanding of the mode of action of heparin molecules in CV-19 cases.

    “As enoxaparin seems to be promising in Covid-19 infection, it is obviously right for CPC Biotech to increase our production of the enzymes needed for quality control of this drug in order to avoid possible shortage in the market of the key enzymes, thus affecting enoxaparin availability,” the company said.

    “So we are prepared to supply the market of the enzymes needed for QC of enoxaparin in case of an increased demand of enoxaparin for Covid treatment,” CPC pledged.
