Custom synthesis Workflow

Our custom synthesis services include, but are not limited to, the following:

Nucleosides Synthesis & Nucleotides Synthesis:

Nucleosides are important biological molecules that function as signaling molecules and as precursors to nucleotides needed for DNA and RNA synthesis. Drugs-based nucleotides are an emerging field in recent years. Nucleotide drugs are a variety of oligonucleotides (RNA) or oligodeoxyribonucleotides (DNA) with different functions, which have specific targets and mechanisms of action, so nucleotide drugs have a wide range of application prospects.

API Synthesis

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is an active ingredient in a pharmaceutical product. This substance has a pharmacological activity or other direct effects in the diagnosis, treatment, symptom relief, management or prevention of disease, or can affect the function or structure of the organism.

Asymmetric Synthesis:

Asymmetric synthesis, also known as chiral synthesis or enantioselective synthesis, is the branch of organic synthesis in which one or more chiral elements are introduced to the reactants via a chemical reaction. Asymmetric synthesis has a very important place in both drug synthesis and total synthesis of natural products, and has great importance in the screening of APIs and development of bio/pharmaceutical products.

Radiolabeled Chemical Synthesis:

Recognizing the increasing importance of radiometric detection in drug discovery and development, radiolabeled chemical synthesis is hence become a highly concerned area in the pharmaceutical industry.

Heterocyclic compounds Synthesis:

Heterocyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain a heterocyclic structure in the molecule. The atoms that make up the ring contain at least one heteroatom in addition to the carbon atom. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms. Heterocyclic compounds can be divided into two categories, alicyclic and aromatic heterocyclic. Heterocyclic compounds are commonly found in the structure of drug molecules.

Bioconjugation

Bioconjugation represents the technique of giving a target substance with certain desired properties through the site-specific reaction between the biomolecules and exogenous moieties (usually one or several other molecules). Through such a covalent linkage approach, a broad range of innovative drug substances or end products is designed to improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis, pharmacokinetic properties, treatment efficacy and many other aspects.

Peptide Synthesis

Peptides are the bioactive substance related to various cellular functions in living organisms, consisting of multiple amino acids bound by peptide bonds in a certain order of arrangement. Peptides are often used in functional analysis, antibody research, and especially in drug development.

Process R&D:

An effective process R&D is an essential part of your drug development while it plays important role in controlling costs, ensuring product’s quality and meeting the requirements of regulations. More importantly, package solutions are available to address any problems and potential risks that significantly impact the quality of your products.
