Mallinckrodt
Mallinckrodt is a global specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, markets and distributes specialty pharmaceutical products and therapies. The company's areas of focus include autoimmune diseases, neurology, and pain management.
History
Mallinckrodt was founded in 1867 in St. Louis, Missouri, by three brothers: Gustav, Otto and Edward Mallinckrodt. The company initially produced chemicals for photography, but soon expanded into other areas, including pharmaceuticals.
In the 1950s, Mallinckrodt became a key player in the nuclear medicine field, supplying radiochemicals for medical use. In the following decades, the company continued to expand its product portfolio and global presence.
In 1982, Mallinckrodt was acquired by International Minerals and Chemical Corporation (IMC) and became a part of the newly formed IMCERA Group. In 1996, Mallinckrodt was spun off as a separate company and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In recent years, Mallinckrodt has focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients with severe and critical conditions. The company's leading products include Acthar Gel, a treatment for multiple sclerosis, and Inomax, a treatment for newborns with respiratory failure.
Products and Therapies
Mallinckrodt's product portfolio is focused on specialty pharmaceuticals. The company's leading product, Acthar Gel, is used to treat a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including multiple sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Inomax, another key product, is used to treat newborns with hypoxic respiratory failure.
In addition to these products, Mallinckrodt also offers a range of other therapies for conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, hepatorenal syndrome, and pulmonary hypertension.
Research and Development
Mallinckrodt is committed to advancing the field of specialty pharmaceuticals through ongoing research and development. The company's R&D efforts are focused on developing new therapies for unmet medical needs, improving existing products, and exploring new applications for its current therapies.
