Case Study: Integrated CMC Solution for IND Application in 9 Months
We supported the 30+ AA macrocyclic peptide project by providing integrated CMC services, including API process development, manufacturing, formulation development, and CMC writing. We successfully completed the IND application within nine months, overcoming the challenges of an original route yield of less than 1% and a limited supply of a special building block for conjugation.
In the end, we developed a new route using the SPPS linear and fragmentation approach, which increased the yield fourfold. The conjugation process was optimized to facilitate Tox and GMP batches with a limited amount of material. In-parallel and seamless workstreams allowed the entire project to be completed in nine months.

Manufacturing
With our global standard quality system, we are well positioned to be your strategic manufacturing partner for reliable and robust supplies of your peptide APIs, from gram to metric ton scales.
Our custom synthesizers and cleavage systems are designed to minimize risks of both microbial contamination and cross-contamination. Our peptide platform ensures knowledge retention and scale-up throughout your product life cycle, while expediting your development through seamless collaboration among different functional teams.
At our Changzhou and Taixing sites in China, we have over 20 Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) production lines with a wide range of synthesizers from 20 L to 3,000 L. The total reactor volume for SPPS is over 32,000 L. And we are still expanding our SPPS capacity at Taixing and Singapore sites in the next few years.
Our peptide manufacturing platform is also equipped with the latest technologies, including Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis (LPPS), reactor-in-series (with PAT data collection) , continues flow chromatography, Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) / precipitation, etc.
Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis (LPPS)
- Route design and protection strategy selection for a wide range of peptides
- Quality by design (QbD) to support LPPS process performance qualification
- Dedicated crystallization process team, avoiding most of the prep-HPLC separation
- LPPS and SPPS combined approach for complex peptides synthesis
- Both batch mode and flow mode capable
- Hydrogenation capable
