Syntheses development
We have more than 30 years of experience in the development of organic syntheses for drug substances (APIs).
On receipt of an order for synthesis development we first research the latest state-of-the-art and conduct a feasibility study if applicable. This includes the proposed synthetic route, a schedule and a cost estimate for the execution of the necessary development work. It may also include an estimate of the future manufacturing costs for the drug substance.
Even during initial contact with our customers we exercise a strict policy of discretion and exclusivity.
