Akana specializes in various sterile and non -sterile APIs, Pharma intermediates, Pharma Dosage Forms, Excipients and Essential Oils. Akana also has tie ups with various development labs to develop the processes for APIs, Pharma intermediates and Pharma Dosage Forms and get these manufactured at various GMP certified plants within India/China and other countries. Of course, in terms of price competitiveness, the manufacturers in India and China are the best.

Very recently, Akana has got developed Pharma intermediates for APIs in therapeutic categories such as anti- asthmatics, anti-histamines, anti-hypertensives, anti-infectives and anti-diabetics.

Customers are requested to send their enquiries for Pharma intermediates and if there is no regular availability of such intermediates, Akana will get the manufacturing process developed through its partners and get the commercial quantities synthesized through its manufacturing partners in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and other locations in India and China.

APIs including Vitamins

Akana offers a wide range of APIs and Vitamins manufactured in India/China/other countries. Akana represents a very large number of APIs and Vitamins manufacturers in India, China, other countries and is able to fulfil over 95% need of APIs and Vitamins of major pharmaceutical formulators. The plants of the manufacturers represented by Akana are USFDA/EMA inspected and therefore Akana is able to provide APIs not only for dosage forms for the Indian and various non regulated markets but also for highly regulated markets like USA, Europe, Japan, Canada, Brazil etc. These plants are located in India, China & other countries and vendor’s visit for inspection of such plants in India/China/other countries can be organised by Akana.

Open and closed parts of DMF for products of interest can be arranged including plant master file (PMF).

Pharmaceutical Intermediates

Akana specializes in development of processes/technology for a wide range of intermediates which are used for synthesis of APIs. Akana through its partners in various parts of India not only gets the manufacturing processes/technology developed but also gets these synthesised at some of the advanced facilities for intermediates synthesis. The focus here is on intermediates for import substitution which are largely imported from China/other countries. With supply chain hiccups all over the world, local manufacturing and supply of intermediates is the need of the day as long as cost can be contained to match the landed cost of imported products. This is not only our national duty but also support for the domestic industry in India which has so far been dependent on overseas intermediates. Akana has recently got intermediates developed and synthesised for various APIs in therapeutic categories such as anti-hypertensives, lipid regulators, anti-asthmatics, anti-histamines and anti-coagulants.

Dosage Forms

Akana is able to offer a very large range of dosage forms for non-regulated, semi-regulated and highy-regulated markets in various presentations such as tablets (including bi-layered), capsules (including soft gelatine), syrups(including sugar free), dry syrups, ophthalmology drops /ointments/respules, dermatology creams/gels and injections as vials/ampoules including pre-filled syringes (PFS) in general category as well as oncology. Various packaging options such as strips, blisters (PVC-aluminium) as well as alu-alu blisters, small glass/PVC/HDPE/poly carbonate bottles/packs, glass vials/ampoules with or without package inserts(leaflets) are available.

Depending on the country where the product is planned to be sold, registration dossiers complying with local regulatory requirements including accelerated and real time stability data (for appropriate zone) will be provided after signing a non-disclosure ( confidentiality) agreement.

The flavours and fragrances are developed in the labs of multinational formulators or Indian formulators who have over the years developed competence to develop products as needed by the customers but at a much lower cost than international players. These are important products for pharmaceutical companies which have a range of OTC or paediatric products requiring palatable flavours.
