With Exploring the mechanisms of human body as a motto, Hayashibara puts in a lot efforts in research on bioactive substances secreted by our cells to help us recover from injuries, and infections.

After years of R&D work, Hayashibara has identified and developed technologies to mass-produce a variety of pharmaceutical ingredients. Natural interferon (an anti-cancer protein), interleukin-18 (a proinflammatory cytokine), enzymes, maltose for intravenous drips are amongst these ingredients. Hayashibaras expertise in biotechnology enables us to contribute to human health by identifying, producing and marketing bioactive substances. Hayashibara today stand as leaders in enzymology, microbiology and biotechnology and are continuing to diversify into life sciences, centering on the research, development and sales of trehalose which is produced from starch saccharification; interferons, which act as anti-cancer drugs used in medicine materials.
