BICHEDAM’s Oral Puerarin Breakthrough:
A New Paradigm for Vascular Disease

BICHEDAM has successfully developed an oral formulation of Puerarin by improving its bioavailability,
advancing oral treatment for degenerative vascular diseases.

With BCD101, a Phase 1-completed asset, and the launch of “G Care for Everyone,”
BICHEDAM is validating early market response and generating initial revenue.

Bichedam is

BICHEDAM is a biopharmaceutical company developing mechanism-based therapeutics that directly target the pathophysiological causes of disease, leveraging its formulation optimization platform for poorly soluble drugs.
Going beyond the limitations of conventional treatments focused on short-term symptom relief, BICHEDAM aims to create an innovative treatment environment that enables patients to safely take therapies over the long term.

At Bichedam

BICHEDAM’s core pipeline targets a broad range of challenging age-related diseases, starting with Nocturnal Leg Cramps (NLC) and expanding to Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH). Through global licensing and co-development partnerships with multinational pharmaceutical companies, BICHEDAM aims to become a leading global drug development company.

BICHEDAM aims to provide safe, essential chronic disease solutions for an aging population, driven by innovative drug delivery technologies and multi-target mechanisms of action.

Our ultimate goal is to develop a first-in-class therapy that fundamentally alleviates vascular and muscle stiffness by transforming conventional injectable treatments—limited by co-solvent toxicity and hospital-based administration—into convenient, self-administered oral therapies for everyday use.

Development Need

Ⅰ. NLC is common, affecting approximately 40% of adults aged 40 and older, with a high prevalence in the elderly population.

Ⅱ. Blood circulation disorders and cognitive decline frequently occur in patients with chronic diseases,
necessitating the development of products to improve these conditions.

Ⅲ. Nhere are no approved specialized treatments for NCL,
and existing therapeutic approaches have limited efficacy or are difficult to use long-term.

Differentiation

Based on the prospective observational study and safety validation conducted, expansion into an integrated solution for vascular health and leg cramps
Currently, there are no Korean medicine-based treatments in NLC therapy. This multi-mechanism treatment simultaneously targets vascular relaxation, muscle tension relief, and improved sleep quality through a herbal compound prescription.
It enables integrated management of blood circulation and lower limb cramps in the core patient group aged 50-70.
