C2 PHARMA has acquired the Digoxin API product portfolio of Polish company, Nobilus Ent. Through the agreement, C2 PHARMA is the product owner, and Nobilus is a manufacturing partner and releasing entity for the API. Parallel manufacturing to ensure redundancy is supported by long-term Indian API manufacturer, Laurus Labs.

Since 2014, Digoxin API availability has been frequently and severely disrupted causing shortages of product due to high levels of impurities and an unreliable supply chain. To mitigate the expected future impact of those Digoxin API shortages, C2 PHARMA has taken various actions, including this recent agreement, as well as setting up a fully independent supply chain for digitalis leaves and investing in a brand new, dedicated, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with Laurus Labs.

"While this type of investment is unprecedented for such a niche product, we believe that it is the most responsible path to secure a quality, continuous supply of this complex and essential API," said Andrew Badrot, CEO, C2 PHARMA. "With existing impurity and supply issues, and as regulatory authorities progressively tighten specifications, this places C2 PHARMA at the forefront of purification technology and process innovation for Digoxin API," he added.

Tech transfer has been completed and validated, and the Digoxin API is currently in production at the Nobilus Ent and Laurus Lab sites. Purchases can be made directly from C2 PHARMA.
