OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Indus Biotech, our goal was to create a natural medicine derived from plants to treat long-term health issues, known as chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are caused by various gene dysfunctions, such as Metabolic Disorders like Type 2 diabetes and autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis.

In the treatment of chronic diseases, relying on a powerful single molecule (New Chemical Entity) created by modern medicine for long-term use may not be suitable. These potent NCEs can lead to two types of toxicity during extended treatment:

  1. Metabolic Toxicity: These potent NCEs can become more toxic during metabolic breakdown, causing harm to organs like the kidney and liver.
  2. Off-target Toxicity: These powerful molecules may activate or shut down proteins involved in various physiological activities, leading to unintended effects.

With prolonged use, these molecules can accumulate in other tissues and organs, potentially causing harmful effects. For example, the selective COX2 inhibitor VIOXX, designed to alleviate Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms, induced cardiac toxicity during extended use.

Indus Biotech believes that a change in approach is needed to develop medications that are “kinder” and “gentler” for chronic use. There is an evolutionary connection between plants and humans, and many plant molecules can be safely processed by the human genetic machinery. Plants produce secondary metabolites as a response to environmental challenges, and some of these can have beneficial effects on human physiology.

Indus Biotech is actively working on technologies to extract these molecules from plants. The company employs modern tools such as protein binding, pharmacology, toxicology, and randomized human control trials to research and develop these plant-derived molecules for treating chronic diseases.

While our initial mission to develop botanical drugs for chronic disease management faced challenges, we adapted our focus to Nutraceutical molecule development. This shift allows us to explore the potential of plant-derived compounds for promoting overall well-being.
