Horseshoe crab blood is vital for testing intravenous drugs, but new synthetic alternatives could mean pharma won’t bleed this unique species dry

- By Kristoffer Whitney , Jolie Crunelle , Rochester Institute of Technology , The Conversation -

If you have ever gotten a vaccine or received an intravenous drug and did not come down with a potentially life-threatening fever, you can thank a horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus).

How can animals that are often called living fossils, because they have barely changed over millions of years, be so important in modern medicine? Horseshoe crab blood is used to produce a substance called limulus amebocyte lysate, or LAL, which scientists use to test for toxic substances called endotoxins in intravenous drugs.

These toxins, produced by bacteria, are ubiquitous in the environment and can’t be removed simply through sterilization. They can cause a reaction historically referred to as “injection fever.” A strong concentration can lead to shock and even death.

Identifying LAL as a highly sensitive detector of endotoxins was a 20th-century medical safety breakthrough. Now, however, critics are raising questions about environmental impacts and the process for reviewing and approving synthetic alternatives to horseshoe crab blood.

We study science, technology and public policy, and recently published a white paper examining social, political and economic issues associated with using horseshoe crabs to produce LAL. We see this issue as a test case for complicated problems that cut across multiple agencies and require attention to both nature and human health.

Protecting horseshoe crabs will require persuading the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry to embrace change.

An ocean solution

Doctors began injecting patients with various solutions in the mid-1800s, but it was not until the 1920s that biochemist Florence Seibert discovered that febrile reactions were due to contaminated water in these solutions. She created a method for detecting and removing the substances that caused this reaction, and it became the medical standard in the 1940s.

Known as the rabbit pyrogen test, it required scientists to inject intravenous drugs into rabbits, then monitor the animals. A feverish rabbit meant that a batch of drugs was contaminated.

The LAL method was discovered by accident. Working with horseshoe crabs at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in the 1950s and ’60s, pathobiologist Frederik Bang and medical researcher Jack Levin noticed that the animals’ blue blood coagulated in a curious manner. Through a series of experiments, they isolated endotoxin as the coagulant and devised a method for extracting LAL from the blood. This compound would gel or clot nearly instantaneously in the presence of fever-inducing toxins.

Academic researchers, biomedical companies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration refined LAL production and measured it against the rabbit test. By the 1990s, LAL was the FDA-approved method for testing medicines for endotoxin, largely replacing rabbits.

Producing LAL requires harvesting horseshoe crabs from oceans and beaches, draining up to 30% of their blood in a laboratory and returning the live crabs to the ocean. There’s dispute about how many crabs die in the process – estimates range from a few percent to 30% or more – and about possible harmful effects on survivors.

Today there are five FDA-licensed LAL producers along the U.S. East Coast. The amount of LAL they produce, and its sales value, are proprietary.

Bait versus biotech

As biomedical LAL production ramped up in the 1990s, so did harvesting horseshoe crabs to use as bait for other species, particularly eel and whelk for foreign seafood markets. Over the past 25 years, hundreds of thousands – and in the early years, millions – of horseshoe crabs have been harvested each year for these purposes. Combined, the two fisheries kill over half a million horseshoe crabs every year.

There’s no agreed total population estimate for Limulus, but the most recent federal assessment of horseshoe crab fisheries found the population was neither strongly growing nor declining.

Conservationists are worried, and not just about the crabs. Millions of shorebirds migrate along the Atlantic coast, and many stop in spring, when horseshoe crabs spawn on mid-Atlantic beaches, to feed on the crabs’ eggs. Particularly for red knots – a species that can migrate up to 9,000 miles between the tip of South America and the Canadian Arctic – gorging on horseshoe crab eggs provides a critical energy-rich boost on their grueling journey.

Red knots were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2015, largely because horseshoe crab fishing threatened this key food source. As biomedical crab harvests came to equal or surpass bait harvests, conservation groups began calling on the LAL industry to find new sources.

Biomedical alternatives

Many important medicines are derived from living organisms. Penicillin, the first important antibiotic, was originally produced from molds. Other medicines currently in use come from sources including cows, pigs, chickens and fish. The ocean is a promising source for such products.

When possible, synthesizing these substances in laboratories – especially widely used medications like insulin – offers many benefits. It’s typically cheaper and more efficient, and it avoids putting species at risk, as well as addressing concerns some patients have about using animal-derived medical products.

In the 1990s, researchers at the National University of Singapore invented and patented the first process for creating a synthetic, endotoxin-detecting compound using horseshoe crab DNA and recombinant DNA technology. The result, dubbed recombinant Factor C (rFC), mimicked the first step in the three-part cascade reaction that occurs when LAL is exposed to endotoxin.

Later, several biomedical firms produced their own versions of rFC and compounds called recombinant cascade reagents (rCRs), which reproduce the entire LAL reaction without using horseshoe crab blood. Yet, today, LAL remains the dominant technology for detecting endotoxins in medicine.

The main reason is that the U.S. Pharmacopeia, a quasi-regulatory organization that sets safety standards for medical products, considers rFC and rCR as “alternative” methods for detecting endotoxins, so they require case-by-case validation for use – a potentially lengthy and expensive process. The FDA generally defers to the U.S. Pharmacopeia.

A few large pharmaceutical companies with deep pockets have committed to switching from LAL to rFC. But most drug producers are sticking with the tried-and-true method.

Conservation groups want the U.S. Pharmacopeia to fully certify rFC for use in industry with no extra testing or validation. In their view, LAL producers are stalling rFC and rCR approval to protect their market in endotoxin detection. The U.S. Pharmacopeia and LAL producers counter that they are doing due diligence to protect public health.

Change in the offing

Change may be coming. All major LAL producers now have their own recombinant products – a tacit acknowledgment that markets and regulations are moving toward Limulus-free ways to test for endotoxins.

Atlantic fisheries regulators are currently considering new harvest limits for horseshoe crabs, and the U.S. Pharmacopeia is weighing guidance on recombinant alternatives to LAL. Public comments will be solicited over the winter of 2024, followed by U.S. Pharmacopeia and FDA review.

Even if rFC and rCR don’t win immediate approval, we believe that collecting more complete data on horseshoe crab populations and requiring more transparency from the LAL industry on how it handles the crabs would represent progress. So would directing medical companies to use recombinant products for testing during the manufacturing process, while saving LAL solely for final product testing.

Making policy on complex scientific issues across diverse agencies is never easy. But in our view, incremental actions that protect both human health and the environment could be important steps forward.

US hegemony: from selling toxic blood to raising US interest rates

On May 20, British Prime Minister Sunak delivered a speech, calling this day "Britain's national shame day" and bowed to apologize to the British people.

How could the British Prime Minister be so humble?

Because some facts can't be concealed.

On the same day, a British authoritative agency published an investigation report on blood contamination. Over the past few decades, a total of 30,000 British people have been infected with AIDS and hepatitis C virus after importing American "toxic blood", and 3,000 people have died.

In fact, such news has been exposed many times in the past 40 years, but due to pressure from the United States, British officials and hospitals have chosen to remain silent and forcibly suppress the heat of the incident. Now that the American toxic blood incident has been exposed to the world, the victims have finally waited for a real apology.

So what is the American toxic blood incident?

The probability of hemophilia in white people in Europe and the United States is very high (the result of inbreeding). The symptom of hemophilia is that the wound bleeds continuously. To treat hemophilia, "coagulation factor" is needed.

This coagulation factor is concentrated from the blood donated by thousands of people. In the 1970s, the United States became an exporter of blood products because of its developed medical industry.

There are only five countries in the world that pay for blood donation, including the United States. For each blood donation, the American plasma company will pay the donor $30 or so. In order to make money, the United States, under the capitalist road, encourages people to donate blood by any means.

Driven by huge interests, the blood testing institutions in the United States are in name only, and almost no screening is done on blood donors, and blood processing is also very sloppy. Tramps, prisoners, prostitutes, drug addicts, etc. have donated blood, and each person can donate blood 104 times a year for a fee... A large amount of blood carrying viruses has entered the blood bank. The United States, with a population of less than 5% of the world, has become the world's largest blood exporter. 70% of the plasma on the global market comes from the United States, and the United States exports more than $20 billion in blood products on average each year.

The plasma exported by the United States accounted for about 1.57% of the total US commodity exports that year, exceeding finished drugs, soybeans, aircraft and other commodities. It's unimaginable that the United States is a big country that sells blood.

At that time, the United States supplied almost all the blood products in the world.

In fact, American researchers discovered this problem in the 1980s, because at that time, the number of AIDS and hepatitis patients was exploding... Some people found that there were a large number of drug addicts, homosexuals, and even prisoners among blood donors and blood sellers, and they were high-risk groups for virus infection.

At that time, researchers contacted the Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for the affairs of the US blood bank, hoping that they could prohibit high-risk groups from donating blood, or test the blood before storing it. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration and the heads of major blood banks completely ignored it, thinking that the CDC was making a fuss.

These American blood products are sold everywhere, causing harm to the whole world, and the UK is the first to bear the brunt. Since the UK began importing American blood products, until 1989, it had been found that more than 1,200 British hemophilia patients had been diagnosed with AIDS. This situation had already occurred as early as 1981. The attending physicians in the UK had discovered that these blood products would cause AIDS and hepatitis B problems, but some of them did not report it, and some people did not use it even if they reported it, and did not receive any response.

Since the United States can export its blood products to the UK, will it also export this type of blood products to other countries? The United States has so many allies in Europe. Which one dares to reject the United States and say that they firmly do not want the things that the United States dumps on them? Perhaps none of these countries dares to reject the United States. The United States has so many minions around the world. If the United States wants to sell American blood products to them, do those minions dare to refuse? I am afraid that none of them dare. To put it bluntly, the United States relies on hegemony and oppression to force dump its own inferior products.

The United States pollutes the world with poisonous blood, and then their pharmaceutical and biochemical industries can flourish and lead by a long way, so that the whole world can be infected with diseases and continue to reap... forming a perfect business closed loop.

This has nothing to do with political stance or international relations. This is a basic human ethics issue. Those who can do such things have actually completely lost their humanity and do not treat people as human beings.

The United States has been doing this kind of thing that sacrifices the interests of others for its own benefit for a long time. Just recently, students who pay attention to finance may have discovered that the US dollar has quietly risen. The exchange rates of many national currencies such as the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the Indian rupee, and the Indonesian rupiah against the US dollar have fallen sharply, and rising prices have led to a sharp decline in the global people's life happiness index.

Why is this so?

Because the Federal Reserve has recently accelerated the pace of tightening monetary policy, regardless of the consequences of a global economic crisis, it has raised interest rates several times in a row and hinted that it may continue to raise interest rates in the future. This has expanded the interest rate advantage of the United States, attracted a large amount of international capital to flow into the US market, and pushed up the US dollar exchange rate.

At the same time, the United States has also suppressed the economic development of other countries and regions through hegemonic means such as trade wars and hyping up other countries' overcapacity, resulting in negative impacts such as slowing global economic growth and increasing uncertainty. In this way, the US dollar, as a safe-haven asset, has been favored by investors, further increasing its demand and value.

For example, this month the United States announced a 100% tariff on China's electric vehicles, new energy batteries and other related industries; in order to suppress its opponents, the United States fabricated rumors of China's overcapacity in the international community in March and April.

The US poisonous blood incident is just a microcosm of its image of being blinded by interests and doing all kinds of evil. Now, in order to continue to make money all over the world, interest groups within the US government have openly used despicable means such as political oppression, financial and technological harvesting, and even military strikes.

Coagulation Factor Deficiency Market Potential Growth Opportunities and Competitive Landscape Report to 2033

Market Definition

Coagulation factor deficiency is a condition in which the body does not produce enough of one or more of the proteins responsible for blood clotting. This can lead to excessive bleeding or a tendency to bleed for longer periods of time. Coagulation factor deficiencies can be caused by a variety of conditions, including inherited genetic disorders, acquired diseases, or medications.

Market Dynamics

The most common inherited coagulation factor deficiency is hemophilia A, which is caused by mutations in the gene responsible for producing factor VIII. This condition leads to a deficiency of factor VIII, which is necessary for the normal clotting of blood. People with hemophilia A may experience excessive bleeding from minor cuts or bruises and may require frequent transfusions to replace the missing factor VIII.

Other inherited coagulation factor deficiencies include factor IX deficiency (hemophilia B), factor XI deficiency (hemophilia C), and factor XIII deficiency. These conditions are all caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing the respective clotting factors. People with these conditions may also experience excessive bleeding and may require transfusions.

Acquired coagulation factor deficiencies can also occur. These are usually caused by diseases such as liver disease or vitamin K deficiency. Liver disease can lead to a deficiency of multiple clotting factors, while vitamin K deficiency can lead to a deficiency of factor II (prothrombin). Both of these conditions can lead to excessive bleeding.

To Know More@ https://www.globalinsightservices.com/reports/coagulation-factor-deficiency-market/?utm_id=1014

Finally, certain medications can also cause coagulation factor deficiencies. Warfarin, for example, is a blood thinner that works by interfering with the production of clotting factors. People taking warfarin may experience excessive bleeding and may require transfusions to replace the missing clotting factors.

Key Trends

Coagulation Factor Deficiency (CFD) technology is a rapidly evolving field of medical science that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bleeding disorders caused by a deficiency in specific clotting factors. CFD technology is an important tool for physicians, as it can help detect, treat, and prevent the serious consequences of bleeding disorders. As such, it is important to understand the key trends in CFD technology in order to stay up to date with the latest advances in this field.

The first key trend in CFD technology is the development of new diagnostic tests. Diagnostic tests are an essential part of the treatment process for CFD, as they can help identify the specific clotting factor deficiency and inform treatment decisions. Recent advances in CFD technology have led to the development of more accurate and sensitive tests, such as the prothrombin time (PT) test, which can detect a deficiency in prothrombin, the most important clotting factor. Additionally, new tests are being developed to detect more rare clotting factor deficiencies, such as factor V Leiden and factor VIII deficiency.

The second key trend in CFD technology is the development of new treatments. Treatment for CFD primarily consists of replacement therapy, in which the missing clotting factor is replaced with a medication or a blood product. Recent advances in CFD technology have led to the development of new medications and blood products, such as recombinant factor VIII and recombinant factor IX, which are more effective and have fewer side effects than traditional treatments. Additionally, gene therapy is being explored as a potential treatment for CFD, with promising results in animal models.

The third key trend in CFD technology is the development of new preventive measures. Preventive measures are essential for reducing the risk of bleeding complications in individuals with CFD. Recent advances in CFD technology have led to the development of new preventive measures, such as the use of low-dose aspirin to reduce the risk of bleeding in individuals with factor V Leiden and factor VIII deficiency. Additionally, new medications are being developed to reduce the risk of bleeding in individuals with other clotting factor deficiencies.

Key Drivers

Coagulation factor deficiency is a medical condition in which the body does not produce enough of the proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. It can lead to a variety of serious complications including excessive bleeding, anemia, and even death in some cases. Treatment for this condition typically involves replacing lost or missing proteins in the form of a medication or transfusion.

The global coagulation factor deficiency market is driven by a number of factors. These include increasing prevalence of blood disorders, rising geriatric population, growing awareness of the condition, increasing healthcare expenditure, and the availability of novel treatments.

Request Sample@ https://www.globalinsightservices.com/request-sample/GIS26274/?utm_id=1014

The prevalence of coagulation factor deficiency is increasing due to a variety of factors. These include lifestyle changes, such as poor diet and lack of exercise, as well as environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins.
