Drug Substance (APIs, Intermediates, RSMs)

Route Scouting

Fast Delivery:  In early development, speed of delivery is the thumb rule. With accumulated chemistry capabilities and availability of diverse building blocks, our motivated and experienced chemists are able to work out innovative routes with high efficiency.


Optimal Route Scouting: To control the risk of changing route in late development, and secure a reliable supply throughout the whole development lifecycle, the team takes safety, efficiency, purity, cost, ease of scale-up, security of raw material supply, and impact on environment into consideration, and aim to design an optimal, fit-to-purpose route for customers' projects. 

Process Development, Optimization and Validation

Early Phase 

•  Fit-for-purpose process development

•  PMI & COG oriented, implementing cutting-edge technology

•  Extensive experience in most modern organic reactions

Late Phase

•  Robust, green and cost effective

•  Study unit operations of each step (NORs, PARs) and define CPPs

•  Develop control strategy for RSMs, intermediates and APIs

•  Perform process risk analysis


Manufacturing

Our extensive manufacturing capabilities, featuring flexibility, reliability and quality, allow us to deliver RSMs, intermediates and APIs for your projects from development to scale-up and commercial production.

 

We are dedicated to making a positive impact on both our clients and the environment. That's why we place a high value on low-carbon manufacturing. We understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint and strive to implement sustainable practices in all aspects of our operations. Our focus on green chemistry and continuous manufacturing not only improves efficiency and quality, but also helps minimize waste and reduces our environmental impact. We believe that responsible manufacturing practices are crucial for a better future for everyone, and we are proud to lead the way in this field.
