The institute is also known for its very high value research on steroids which yielded a well known molecule Candocuronium iodide, a for neuromuscular blocking agent and also commercialization of �Thank God�, a pile medicine by Panacea Biotec Pvt. Ltd., which is a rare distinction of any academic institution.
