Cardio-vasculars

Chenôve & Plankstadt

The cardiovascular system is an autonomously regulated system. Driven by the heart as a pump mechanism, it ensures the survival of the cells of the entire body via two blood circulation systems. The circulation of the blood permits the physiological equilibrium of the bodily fluids by means of the physiological properties of the blood. It makes it possible to breathe via the lungs by the absorption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide. Nutrition absorbed from the digestive tract is supplied to the tissues and organs for further metabolism or storage. Metabolic products are taken to the excretion organs. The blood is the means of transport in the cardiovascular system for neurotransmitters and other semiochemicals, for the hormones of the exocrine organs, cells of the immune system and the transfer agents of the coagulation system.

Diseases and dysfunction of the cardiovascular system are the most common cause of death in the Western industrial countries.

Hypertension and increased concentrations of specific lipid levels are seen as major predictors of mortality in diseases of the cardiovascular system. Successfully combatting these indicators systematically has led to a fall in the mortality rate from cardiovascular diseases.

Corden Pharma is involved with substances that affect the adrenergic control of blood pressure, thereby lowering blood pressure. The stereoselective synthesis of “betablockers” with their chiral structure is one of Corden Pharma’s fields of activity. The formulation of such substances in various solid dosage forms is carried out in our pharmaceutical factories. In our range in the contract manufacturing of substances and medicines there are other medicines which lower blood pressure.

To lower high lipid levels we synthesise substances that use various mechanisms. Our range of work includes both generic substances and fibrates or statins and exclusive syntheses for original suppliers. Corden Pharma is also a manufacturer of these substances for finished pharmaceutical products.
