Boya

Boya is a multi-use name in the pharmaceutical and medical fields, primarily referring to a specific intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) product and a traditional herbal remedy. **Boya IVIG**, developed by Boya Bio-Pharmaceutical Group, is a plasma-derived biologic containing human IgG antibodies. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development (e.g., NCT06150833) as a replacement therapy for patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID), including common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), to maintain therapeutic IgG levels and prevent serious bacterial infections. Separately, **Badranj Boya** is the traditional name for the aromatic herb *Nepeta ruderalis* (Lamiaceae), which is used in traditional medicine for gastrointestinal and airway disorders. Research indicates that *Nepeta ruderalis* extracts possess spasmolytic and broncho-relaxant activities, likely mediated through the blockade of voltage-gated calcium channels. Additionally, the name Boya is associated with a brand of pulmonary calibration syringes, a multiplexing cold neutron spectrometer (BOYA), and geographic locations in Nepal.
