Proteases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds of proteins. Protease inhibitors are the chemical component which can inhibit the activity of protease. As an industrial component, protease inhibitors have different applications across the agriculture sector, cosmetic industry, anti-viral drug development, anti-aging cream production, and pharmaceutical industries. The Protease Inhibitor market is experiencing a robust growth and it is forecasted to be a $4 Billion strong industry by 2028 as per market watch data. Despite such heavy demands, the protease inhibitor segment is still in its nascent stages in India catered by a few big names.
Conceived in the Technology Business Incubator KIITTBI in 2020, Biopioneer is a fast-emerging protease inhibitor innovation startup, recognized by startup Odisha, startup India and supported by the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) Department of Biotechnology
(DBT) of the Indian government. According to Biopioneer’s Founder Dr. Bijayananda Panigrahi, the major challenges in front of the protease inhibitor industry today are the need for sophisticated cold storage chambers to store the protease inhibitor on the one hand and very less shelflife on the other.
This is where Biopioneer addresses all the issues prevailing across the segment with a superior class of novel protease inhibitors for the isolation of different proteins, which are non-toxic in nature, can be stored at room temperature, and do not require any cold chain logistics. “Our chemicals stay relatively stable in room temperature and that is the beauty of our product,” says Dr. Panigrahi.

Biopioneer Protease Inhibitors remain stable up to 95℃, and most importantly, it remains Compatible with different buffer conditions as well. Moreover, unlike most of the players in the segment that produce a ‘cocktail,’ Biopioneer offers a single material having multiple protease inhibition activity. It is a stable protease inhibitor that remains comfortable within a wide range of pH, and the material is also soluble in water.
Biopioneer Protease Inhibitors are one-of-its-kind with their unique cutting-edge properties that make it applicable across various industries ranging from Cosmetic and anti-viral drug development to Agri and food processing industries. Due to its diverse applicability and advanced next-generation features, Biopioneer Protease Inhibitors has the potential to transform the segment at a global scale and be a guiding light for the development of new & innovative protease inhibitors.
