Nanomedicines development and manufacturing

Nanomedicines development and manufacturing

We help you scale up to clinical schedules on time, guiding your nanomedicine candidate through its journey to the clinic and de-risk development with expertise encompassing scalable formulation, process and analytical development.

Decomplicating Nanomedicines

This fast-evolving field uses nanoscale or nanostructured materials to impart unique pharmacokinetic and therapeutic effects such as targeted delivery, enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity.

Our team members have a unique scientific understanding of nanomedicines having advanced a range of formulations into the clinic. We bring this expertise to your project, using established methodologies and innovating when needed to give you the best possible outcomes.

De-complicating your projects with an integrated approach, our experts take ownership of the technology transfer of your existing process and the implementation of cGMP manufacturing as well as the synthesis of your lipids, polymers and other building blocks.

Synthesis of building blocks

Synthesis of building blocks

We support the development and manufacturing of building blocks necessary for the preparation of nanoparticles in addition to active pharmaceutical ingredients.

This includes:

  • Custom lipids
  • Monomers
  • Polymers
  • Inorganic complexes

Nanoparticle expertise

Nanoparticle expertise

We integrate analytical development for these APIs and building blocks alongside nanoparticle development to accelerate and de-risk your program.

We are experts in the following nanoparticles:

  • Liposomes, lipid micelles and lipid nanoparticles
  • Polymeric micelles and polymeric nanoparticles
  • Iron oxide nanoparticles
  • Silica nanoparticles
  • Gold nanoparticles

 

Nanomedicine Process Development

Nanomedicine Process Development

Our scientists develop phase-appropriate production processes in accordance with cGMP and mitigate technology transfer issues by using the same teams for development and manufacturing.

Techniques include:

  • Flow manufacturing
  • Batchwise synthesis
  • Tangential flow filtration
  • Magnetic separation
  • Single-use purification systems
  • Low bioburden and sterilizing filtrations

GMP Nanomedicine Production

GMP Nanomedicine Production

In our cGMP-compliant manufacturing facilities, we can produce volumes of a couple of milliliters to up to 300L in some instances, using batch-type and flow manufacturing processes.

We can handle highly potent drug substances in carefully engineered facilities and can deliver nanosuspensions and nanoparticle solutions as sterile finished drug products in vials or syringes.

Analytical Development

Analytical Development

We are intimately familiar with defining the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of nanomedicines. To evaluate the CQAs of your GMP-produced drug products and to support product development, we utilize state-of-the-art analytical techniques.

We perform ICH-compliant stability testing of nanomedicines, APIs and novel excipients using stability indicating methods.

Analytical techniques used

  • Dynamic light scattering,
  • Small-angle X-ray scattering
  • Capillary electrophoresis
  • Zeta-potential measurements
  • Transmission and scanning electron microscopy
  • Dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering and laser diffraction
  • Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation – multi-angle light scattering (AF4-MALS)
  • Size exclusion chromatography
  • Zeta potential measurements
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and Raman spectroscopy
  • HPLC/UPLC

Dossier Development and Strategic Regulatory Support

Dossier Development and Strategic Regulatory Support

Having advanced a wide range of nanomedicine formulations into the clinic, we are used to developing new manufacturing techniques and analytical procedures under fierce regulatory scrutiny.

Our dossier-oriented approach combined with deep understanding of the regulatory landscape gives your nanomedicine project the greatest chance of approval.
