Enzychem Lifesciences spreads its wings to be the best bio-pharmaceutical company in the world
Reputation as KONEX emperor stock, aiming at 2016 KOSDAQ
'EC-18' and 'ROCKPID' rising as the winners in the new medicine market
CEO Ki-Young Sohn of Enzychem Lifesciences

On the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of KONEX, Chairman Kyungsoo Choi of Korea Exchange said "we will lower the listing standard for KOSDAQ and double the listing." KONEX started as a means of implementing the Park Administration's Creative Economy and it has gone through growing pains to be reactivated after 2 years and the atmosphere among investors and SMEs are now very encouraging.

"In the spirit of marathon, Enzychem Lifesciences only runs forward!"
Enzychem Lifesciences, among those listed companies, is sailing smoothly toward the global market as a role model company. With its No.1 market capitalization, Enzychem Lifesciences are highly praised for its status as emperor stock. But Rome was not built in a day. The development of new pharmaceuticals takes lonely times, and one has to go through a long and desperate struggle with oneself until all the process is done and recognized. The story goes the same for Enzychem Lifesciences. They have walked firmly on the long and rocky road to be here today. And the driving force behind such a promising embarkment of Enzychem Lifesciences has been CEO Ki-Young Sohn's management philosophy. Sohn has run and finished numerous marathons since 2002 and had his name inducted in the 2012 Chosun Ilbo Marathon Hall of Fame. This means that his spirit to challenge the limitation is directly reflected on his management philosophy. 

EC-18, world's first oral medicine for neutropenia
Under the mission "to make a world where mankind live longer and happier", Enzychem Lifesciences has been developing, producing, and selling the best quality raw material medicines for the last 10 years. As the effect of these new medicines are being proved day by day, Enzychem Lifesciences is taking center stage in the highly value-added industry. EC-18, which is the world's first oral medicine to prevent and treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, was approved by the Investigational New Drug (IND) of the FDA (US) last May. Thanks to the commercialization of EC-18, cancer patents now do not need to take expensive injections anymore. For this reason, Enzychem Lifesciences is preparing to license EC-18 globally.

Meanwhile, EC-18 was chosen for the Global New Medicine Development Project of the Korea Drug Development Fund in December 2014, approved as 'New Concept Lipid-Type Neutropenia Cure (high-tech industrial technology product)' by the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy last February and also approved by the IND of the FDA within four months of its application. It means that EC-18 has picked up the momentum to show Korea's capability of developing new medicines to the world.

Currently, EC-18 is scheduled to finish clinical demonstration in cooperation with Asan Medical Center and tumor specialists at MD Anderson Cancer Center (US). For this reason, EC-18 is highly expected to be the best remedy for neutropenia and to be chosen as Breakthrough Therapy by the FDA. 

ROCKPID, the world's first immune-modulatory health functional food with high functionality and safety
Another ambitious medicine after EC-18 is the world's first immune-modulatory health functional food ROCKPID. Enzychem Lifesciences found that PLAG, which is an active ingredient of deer antlers, is effective in modulating the immune system. They then  developed ROCKPID and obtained a license for 'Immune-modulatory  Individual Recognition Type Health Functional Food' from the Ministry of Food and Drugs Safety in 2013. Currently, Enzychem Lifesciences is carrying on marketing for the product in Korea, where they finished registration, and is preparing to register in more countries including Canada and Australia. 

People often say that "immunity deteriorates with age." The recent outbreaks of MERS in Korea and of the flu in Hongkong urge the bio-pharmacentical industry to come up with a cure through strengthened immunity. It is all too clear that if we increase our immunity, we are less likely to yield to various viral diseases. In this respect, ROCKPID is the just right health functional food at this time of MERS and the flu. 

CEO Sohn said, "The functionality and safety of ROCKPID has been already approved, and we are currently preparing to knock on the door of the global market with it. For this, we are planning to register the product in every country in the world supported by local production and marketing." Sohn added that "it is not easy to secure global competitiveness as the field requires a continuous R&D, but we will make it happen and become the best in the industry like we have successfully walked the rocky road over the last ten years in pursuit of contributing to the health of humankind." 

Planning to be listed in KOSDAQ in 2016
With its passion and devotion to developing new medicines, Enzychem Lifesciences secured its place on the KONEX on September 25, 2013, and has grown to be the biggest company in terms of market capitalization. 
Sohn said, "Financial position has improved considerably after the listing, and we've become a company with equity as the debt-type capital of $11M turned into a common stock. Our goal now is to make the company with no bank loan at all." Sohn added, "We are really proud of what we have achieved, and our public  recognition in KONEX makes us even more mature and ambitious." It seems that Enzychem Lifesciences is clearly a role model for the Park Administration's Creative Economy. If we talk about the strength of Enzychem Lifesciences, we must mention the power of their conviction 'One Step Forward.' To be recognized as a new medicine is directly connected to the health of humankind, and, therefore it has to go through a highly competitive and selective process as even a tiny mistake could void all the effort they have poured in.

As mentioned above, the result of the second clinical demonstration of EC-18 is expected to come out soon, and the subsequent global license will also be at hand. With this positive prospect in mind, CEO Sohn is planning to list the company in KOSDAQ before the second half of 2016. Sohn said "we are preparing to float on KOSDAQ with our perfect products and meticulous plan. We ask investors to see the growth potential of a company and sustainable products. That way, they can not only make steady profits but also contribute to supporting a promising domestic company that we will grow to be the top performer in the field." 

Growing together with humanity in the spirit of marathon
Enzychem Lifesciences is in the spotlight in the new medicine field, but more so is their continuous R&D. They pushed forward the development of the new medicine by inviting one of the world's top authorities in head and neck cancer and lung cancer, Professor Waun-ki Hong of MD Anderson Cancer Center as a special advisor for the initiative they have taken in introducing a new development paradigm. 

CEO Sohn, on the other hand, is making arduous efforts in leading Enzychem Lifesciences to last over a hundred years. With its motto "Do it, Make it, Achieve it" and the implementation chant "Develop new, Create high value added, Be the best bio-pharmaceutical company." Enzychem Lifesicences is poised to run yet another 42.195km marathon. Sohn said that this is only the beginning and he firmly believes in the potential of his company and the employees. He emphasized that "even if it is yet another rocky road ahead, we'll take the challenge with courage and conviction until we become the top global company and make history in the field."
