Custom Synthesis
At Apex Pharma, we specialize in Custom Synthesis, offering tailored solutions for the development and production of unique pharmaceutical compounds. Our expertise in designing and manufacturing complex molecules enables us to meet the specific needs of our clients, from early-stage development through to commercial-scale production. We leverage advanced technologies, state-of-the-art laboratories, and an experienced team of chemists to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions that are compliant with global regulatory standards
Understanding Custom Synthesis Needs
Custom synthesis at Apex Pharma begins with a deep understanding of the client’s specific requirements. Whether you are looking for the synthesis of a novel drug, an API, an intermediate, or a rare compound, our team works closely with you to define the project's scope and ensure that we meet all technical, regulatory, and timeline expectations.
Key activities:
Initial consultation to understand project objectives
Assessment of the target molecule’s complexity, feasibility, and scale
Tailored synthesis plan based on client specifications
Research and Development (R&D) for Custom Synthesis
Our R&D team plays a pivotal role in the custom synthesis process. Leveraging decades of experience and advanced synthetic chemistry techniques, we focus on developing efficient, scalable, and sustainable synthetic routes to produce high-quality molecules. This phase involves route selection, optimization, and scale-up trials to ensure that the synthesis can be successfully transitioned to commercial production.
Key activities:
Design and development of synthetic routes
Optimization of reaction conditions for yield and purity
Application of green chemistry principles to minimize waste and environmental impact
Identification of cost-effective reagents and solvents
Process Development and Optimization :
Once the synthetic route is developed, our team works on process development, ensuring that the custom synthesis process is efficient, reproducible, and scalable. Our goal is to optimize each step of the synthesis to achieve the desired product quality while minimizing production costs and time. We implement best practices in process safety, quality control, and environmental sustainability throughout the entire development process.
Key activities:
Scale-up from laboratory to pilot-scale production
Process optimization to maximize yield and minimize impurities
Development of purification techniques (e.g., chromatography, crystallization)
Automation and process control for consistency and reproducibility
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)
At Apex Pharma, Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are integral to every custom synthesis project. We adhere to strict GMP standards and use advanced analytical methods to ensure that every custom-synthesized compound meets the highest quality and safety standards. Our QA/QC teams monitor all stages of production and conduct rigorous testing to verify purity, potency, and stability.
Key activities:
In-process and final product testing for purity, structure, and identity (using techniques like HPLC, NMR, mass spectrometry)
Validation of analytical methods for accurate and reliable results
Stability studies to ensure long-term product integrity
Documentation for regulatory compliance and client transparency
Regulatory Compliance and Documentation
Apex Pharma is committed to maintaining the highest level of regulatory compliance for every custom synthesis project. We follow global guidelines, including FDA, EMA, and ICH standards, to ensure that all processes are compliant with the necessary regulations. Our detailed documentation provides full traceability of every step in the synthesis process, which is crucial for client audits and regulatory filings.
Key activities:
Preparation of documentation for drug master files (DMF), certificates of analysis (CoA), and regulatory submissions
Adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ICH Q7 standards
Support with regulatory filings and inspections
Full traceability and batch records for transparency and quality assurance
Scalability and Commercial Production
Once the custom synthesis process is optimized and validated, we offer full-scale manufacturing capabilities to support both clinical trials and commercial production. Our facilities are designed to handle a wide range of production scales—from grams for R&D to metric tons for large-scale commercial production. We ensure that every batch is produced consistently, with a focus on high quality and reliability.
Key activities:
Transition from pilot-scale to full-scale manufacturing
Batch consistency and control across production scales
Packaging and labeling in accordance with client specifications and regulatory requirements
Distribution and supply chain management to meet global demand
Sustainability and Green Chemistry
Apex Pharma places a strong emphasis on sustainability in custom synthesis. We continually explore and implement green chemistry techniques to reduce the environmental impact of our processes. This includes optimizing chemical reactions, using safer and more sustainable solvents, minimizing waste, and reducing energy consumption during production. Our goal is to provide environmentally responsible solutions without compromising the quality or efficacy of the final product.
Key activities:
Development of environmentally friendly synthesis routes
Use of recyclable and non-toxic solvents and reagents
Waste reduction and by-product management
Energy-efficient manufacturing processes
