Process Development Center at North Augusta and Shanghai The Process development group works to achieve the following goals: – Efficacy and selectivity (reach the requirements in terms of quality) – Scalability (transferable into large to very large scale) – Productivity (good yield and recovery of the target) – Reproducibility (repeated campaigns must produce the API with the same profile) – Robustness – Safe with regard to people and environment
Analytical Development Group at North Augusta and Shanghai In parallel with the process development, analytical development provides tools that are able to: – – Monitor the process for side reactions Monitor the process to reach required purity Monitor the process to limit the residual impurities Control the final API and ensure the required quality attributes – Provides “cushion” of impurities to allow formulators more breathing room
Ambio. Pharm’s Advantage – Low Cost of Manufacturing • Close to all the major raw material manufacturing companies (amino acid derivatives and solvents) • Low cost to manufacture under fully controlled c. GMP quality system and experienced management team • Low cost on solvents DMF, a major cost for peptide synthesis on large scale US Competitor’s cost: $3, 500/ton Ambio. Pharm’s cost: $1, 450/ton • The solvent recovery system would reduce the manufacturing cost further on larger scales
