FAQs

An API is the chemically active substance in a medication that produces the intended therapeutic effect. Drug products (formulations) combine APIs with excipients (such as starch, lactose) in specific ratios to create the final dosage forms for patient use, including tablets, capsules, and injections. Simply put, APIs are the "active components" while drug products are the "finished medicines."

We possess deep expertise in complex small molecule synthesis, specializing in challenging chemical structures including chiral molecules, highly potent APIs (HPAPIs), heterocyclic compounds, and ADC payloads. Our advanced technology platforms encompass continuous flow chemistry, high-throughput experimentation (HTE), biocatalysis, and bioavailability enhancement technologies. We maintain comprehensive analytical capabilities ensuring end-to-end quality control from starting materials to final products.

We have established a comprehensive cGMP quality management system with manufacturing facilities compliant with international regulatory standards including FDA, EMA, and NMPA requirements. We rigorously follow ICH guidelines and have implemented complete quality risk management and deviation handling procedures. Our professional stability study capabilities support clients throughout the entire regulatory journey from IND to NDA, facilitating successful regulatory approvals across major global markets.
