Vitreon America, Inc. (Vitreon) has been formed with the goal of disseminating, organizing, and making available on a client project basis, the entirety, portions, and relevant elements of what is known as James A Duke’s Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases.

Prior to the 1940s most of pharmaceuticals consisted of plant-based products and this turning point in the worldwide pharmaceutical industry coincides with a willingness – even urgency – to look back upon plants in their natural essence as a basis for medicinal products.

The reasons for the pharmaceutical industry to look towards nature for medicinal answers are numerous:

  • Chemical formulations are expensive and uncertain: Even when side effects do not prevent potential products from getting to the market, time to market is 8 years on average. Once off-patent, the company can be sued for undisclosed or misrepresented side effects for 5 to 12 years until the limits of liability run out — unless new liabilities are identified and then new clocks start on lawsuits.
  • Engineered products to date have been difficult to make in a cost-efficient manner.
  • Pharmaceutical sales today are 20% proprietary and 80% generic as the pipelines continue to dry up.
  • Botanicals are the best options for the “non-chemical” actives.
