The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is arguably the most important part of a drug. The API is what produces the drug's intended effects. Some drugs, such as combination therapies, have multiple active ingredients to treat different symptoms or to act in different ways. Within the biologicals sector, APIs are most often referred to as bulk biologicals. Industrial Info is tracking over $27 billion in API project reports across the globe.
