What's the difference between biopharmaceuticals and chemical pharmaceuticals?

Bio-pharmacy, which uses biological metabolism to produce drugs, such as insulin produced by fermentation engineering, and chemical pharmacy, which uses synthetic drugs to synthesize drugs by chemical means.

2, the side effects are different.

Chemical synthesis is easy to produce by-products, and then side effects, while biopharmaceuticals do not agree to produce similar reactions.

3. Different drug costs

Chemical pharmaceutical raw materials are widely available, the extraction and purification process is simple and the cost is low. There are few raw materials for biopharmaceuticals, which require higher production technology and purification ability.

Extended data:

Biopharmaceutical is a modern bioengineering based on genetic engineering, that is, using modern biotechnology to cut, connect and transform DNA to produce biopharmaceuticals that are difficult to obtain by traditional pharmaceutical technology.

Biopharmaceutics is a comprehensive applied technology science engaged in the research, production and preparation of various biopharmaceuticals. Its research contents include biochemical drugs, microbial drugs, biotechnology drugs, biological products and related biomedical products.

The major of biopharmaceuticals aims to cultivate senior scientific and technological talents who can engage in research and development, production and process design, quality control and production management of biopharmaceuticals, as well as the production and application of health care products and pharmaceutical-related products involved in biopharmaceuticals.
