3. Where is this company in the world of drug discovery and DDS?

3 types of companies involved in drug discovery and DDS In the same "pharmacy company", it is completely different where the drug is made Pharmaceutical Company Drug discovery biotech Research and development From search to approval and sales Create candidates with new modalities and methods Contract development and manufacturing of other drugs Eli Lilly/Novo Nordisk Pfizer Alnylam/Arvinas Moderna/Insilico Lonza/Samsung Biologics AppTec Secondary clinical and sales network funding Specific technical base depth Mass production capability for equipment and regulation Sales can be reduced rapidly due to the lack of patents Rely on partnering with funds for late development Disco・ation of customer development and impact of policy Alnailam is a central drug discovery biotech. Technical bases are chemical modifications of siRNA and delivery to tissue In 2025, the company has expanded its sales.

The classification is based on this article, and the company name is an example from the company handled by this series. This paper commentsHome Arniram is a commercial-stage biopharmaceu。 company that develops drugs based on RNAi. It is based on the form 10-K for December 2025.

TypeBiotech (siRNA)The company is described as a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops new treatment drugs based on RNAi. Six first-in-class RNAi drugs have been approved. FactsHome For delivery, to the liverGalNAc binding or LNPFor the brain and spinal cordThe method combines decyl (C16) as a fat-soluble ligandIt explains that the delivery to the heart, skeletal muscle, and fat tissue is also progressing.
