Home Innovation Innovative Technologies Research Institute

The Innovative Technologies Research Institute was established to develop high-end generics and reformulated medicines. Over the years, we have built strong IP portfolio and core technologies that are highly competitive in this field world-wide. Our comprehensive toolkit consists of 7 DSS and API platforms – liposomes, inhalation formulations, polymeric microspheres, emulsions, solid dosage forms, liquid dosage forms, and API synthesis & scale-up. Leveraging these, we strive to develop innovative, differentiated medicines that deliver hope and better life quality to patients.

BD20190902
(JM041)
JM041 is a traditional Chinese medicine for the lack of vital energy and blood associate with iron-deficiency anemia. Jemincare Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd (Yichun Pharmaceutical) is the only supplier of this product. Its key active ingredient is porcine blood extract (containing porcine heme), which is easily absorbed and utilized by human body for the relief of anemia. This product has large market potential, as it could be used for anemia in women and children, as well as anemia related to cancer, kidney diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. It can also be used in combination with iron sucrose injection.
Oncology 3
AT20180602
(JM016)
JM016 is a liposome drug developed for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma and multiple myeloma. The state-of-art liposome production platform was optimized with development of this product. This highly automated process incorporated quality by design (QbD) concept and significantly improved the quality and productivity. The ANDA of this candidate has been accepted and is expected to get approval by the end of 2022. The predicted market size in China is more than 4 billion RMB.

AD20200306
(JMX-2002)
JMX-2002 is a reformulated drug with proprietary liposome technology. It’s highly effective against non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and liver cancer. Liposome formulation enables sustained release, tumor targeting, and reduced side effects. This candidate is Jemincare’s first innovative liposome drug and is highly competitive which secures high return upon approval.

AD20191128
(JM045)
JM045 is a reformulated drug product (505b2) developed for prostate cancer, precocious puberty, endometriosis (stage I to IV), female infertility, and preoperative treatment of uterine fibroids. The parent drug is modified into a polymeric microsphere formulation, thereby showing stable and sustained drug release. Its long-acting therapeutic effect and excellent safety profile not only fulfills the unmet medical needs, but also improves the convenience and compliance for patients.
6
AD20200902
(JMX-2006)
JMX-2006 is a reformulated drug product (505b2) developed for prostate cancer, breast cancer, and endometriosis. Our novel microsphere formulation enables sustained drug release and avoids clinical risks commonly seen with injectable implants on the market. With great therapeutic value, high patient compliance, and minimal competition, this candidate has a huge market potential.
Cardiovascular Diseases 7
AD20200904
(JMX-2005)
JMX-2005 is a reformulated drug (505b2) developed for peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). The liposome technology enables sustained release, and daily self-injection by patients provides convenience. Overall, this candidate improves therapeutic outcome and patient compliance, and is expected to receive high market share and profit.
Respiratory Diseases 8
AD20201102
(JMX-2007)
JMX-2007 is a reformulated drug to treat bronchiectasis associated with Haemophilus influenzae infection. It could be easily inhaled with a vibrating mesh nebulizer, which is easy-to-carry and highly convenient. Additionally, the digitalization potential in clinical practice could significantly improve the therapeutic outcome by monitoring patient compliance (such as history of treatment and remote monitoring by doctors).
9
AD20210403
(JMX-2101)
JMX-2101 is a novel reformulated product for bronchiectasis in the form of liposomal antibiotic for inhalation. It has the potential to become the first inhaled antibiotic drug and benefits 10-20 million bronchiectasis patients in China. It is particularly effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The combination of liposome technology with inhalation formulation allows convenient administration and potentially high compliance in clinical practice.
Pain 10
AD20200603
(JMX-2003)
JMX-2003 is a reformulated drug developed for knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. Formulated as microspheres, it enables sustained release and therefore less frequent administration and improved patient compliance. Since it is in situ administered, unfavorable distribution to off-target organs and associated side effects are effectively limited. At the same time, the risk of elevated blood glucose level in hyperglycemic patients can be avoided. This is by far the first generic candidate in this class and a huge market potential is expected upon approval.
11
AD20190509
(JM023)
JM023 is a reformulated drug (505b2) developed for post-operative regional analgesia, particularly for inter-muscular brachial plexus brachial plexus block. The state-of-art microsphere production process and proprietary instruments significantly advanced this program. The microsphere formulation enables sustained release and therefore less frequent administration and improved patient compliance. The technological barrier and favorable therapeutic outcome secure high returns upon approval.
