Process R&D

Delivering high quality synthetic processes

• Scale up of candidates for pre-clinical studies
• Synthetic route scouting and screening of reaction conditions
• Process development and optimisation from grams to metric ton
• Impurity characterisation and synthesis
• Technology transfer to manufacturing
• Full range of analytical equipment/techniques (TGA, DSC, Karl-Fischer etc.)

• The process chemists work closely with both medicinal chemistry teams, as well as, the manufacturing plant chemists at different points of development to ensure smooth progress
• Communication is key as it is often necessary to balance the varying needs of delivering material for key studies with gaining a complete understanding of complex chemistry
