Bright Prospects for Nitric Oxide Drug Markets

Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biopharma industry, has added a key pharmaceutical intelligence report on the Nitric Oxide market to its collection.

LONDON, UK (PRWEB) October 23, 2004 -- Nitric oxide (NO) is an important agent in drug development, both generating free radicals and scavenging them. It also functions as a signalling molecule and has an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases. NO-based therapies are particularly important for inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, erectile dysfunction, inflammation, pain and neuro-protection.

The report Nitric Oxide - Therapeutics, Markets and Companies describes the latest concepts of the role of nitric oxide and analyses the major segments of the market for NO-based drugs and the companies involved in developing them.

The reports author forecasts that the market for drugs where NO is involved in their mechanism of action will rise to $54.4 billion in 2005, up from $30 billion in 2003, and to $96 billion by 2010 as new drugs with NO-based mechanisms are introduced into the market. The report discusses strategies for developing such drugs.

This 212-page report:

•Describes several pharmacological approaches, along with their therapeutic relevance.

•Analyses various approaches using SWOT analysis.

•Compares NO-based therapies with conventional approaches.

•Describes opportunities for combination with modern biotechnology approaches.
