Capabilities · where the early questions live

Complex APIs, by class.

We work where the early go/no-go questions are hardest — the classes where answering them years before launch decides whether a generic programme succeeds. Not a catalogue: the questions that decide the programme, and the answers that come first.

High-potency APIs

Cytotoxic and highly potent chemistry, handled to containment

Potent chemistry is where a route can look simple and behave badly at scale. We answer the containment, cost and filing questions before a programme commits.

  • FeasibilityIs the route viable at commercial scale, with containment?
  • Cost at scaleWhat does a kilo cost at launch — with the working shown?
  • HandlingWhat containment and industrial-hygiene overhead does the process carry?
  • Filing pathWhat stands between us and a filing, by region?

Oligonucleotides

Nucleosides and oligonucleotide APIs for a growing generic field

Sequence chemistry rewards early process thinking. The questions that decide an oligonucleotide programme are synthesis, control and the filing route.

  • SynthesisDoes the sequence synthesise and purify at scale?
  • AnalyticsCan impurities be controlled to specification?
  • Filing pathWhat does the regulatory path look like, by region?
  • SupplyWhere does the raw-material supply concentrate?

Anti-viral APIs

For long-acting and oral anti-viral programmes

Anti-viral programmes turn on route, presentation and the timing of entry. We answer those before the development budget is committed.

  • RouteIs the route feasible for the scale and presentation required?
  • PresentationWhat changes for long-acting versus oral formats?
  • Filing pathWhat is the filing route and timeline, by region?
  • Supply riskWhat are the supply and route risks?

Biologicals

Enzyme and hormone APIs, with technology-transfer support

For biologicals the question is transferability: whether the process scales reproducibly and can be controlled to specification. That is answered early or not at all.

  • TransferCan the process transfer and scale reproducibly?
  • CharacterisationHow is the product characterised and controlled?
  • Filing pathWhat does the filing path require, by region?
  • SourcingWhat are the sourcing and cold-chain risks?

Also: biosimilars — programme and registration support for follow-on biologics.

If we can answer, we will. If we can't, we'll say so — and tell you what would change that.
