Hi,
I'd say that API is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, so that is the active substance in a drug, which can administered through a pill (orally), or an injection (sub-cutaneously).
Hope this helps
The abbreviation API refers to the "application programming interface." An application programming interface (API) is a mechanism that enables users to query resources, get data in a manner that is readable by machines, and download that data.
API in most papers refers to: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
It could be applied to the body in many ways, such as oral, parenteral, skin...ways
or it may be studied in vitro.
An agent could produce a therapeutic effect against illness after its administration via any type of formulation as well as the route of administration that agent is called as biological agent or Active Pharmaceutical Agent (API).
