The global demand for Deuterated Drugs Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
A deuterated drug refers to a small drug molecule in which hydrogen atom/atoms in the drug molecules are replaced by its stable and heavier isotope deuterium. Deuteration affects the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug, such as metabolism. Deuteration lowers the metabolism of drugs, increases chemical bond strength, and improves the stability, safety, and tolerability of the drug. Deuterated drugs have a longer half-life, enhanced efficacy, and lower toxicity. Deuterated drugs are used to treat diseases such as chorea (an involuntary movement disorder) associated with Huntington’s disease and tardive dyskinesia and cancer. The FDA has granted marketing to the First deuterated drug molecule, deutetrabenazine, which is an analog of the old drug tetrabenazine. Deutetrabenazine is used to treat chorea.
Market Dynamics
The market demand for deuterated drugs is rising due to their unique properties such as higher efficacy and longer half-life.
