Small Molecule Process Development

Small molecule processes development

At SK pharmteco, we recognize the need for collaboration and transparency throughout small molecule process development. Our clients are part of the process, with visibility into the key decisions that impact the long-term safety and efficiency of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Our comprehensive services include everything from the evaluation and design of synthetic routes to risk assessments, process and method validation, and clinical trial manufacturing – all customized to meet your scientific, business, and regulatory needs.

Process development services

Complex Chemical Transformations

Our laboratories are equipped to support a wide range of development processes covering carbon-carbon and carbon-heteratom bond formation, chiral chemistry, REDOX reactions, and protecting group chemistry. We have extensive on-scale experience with highly telescoped processes.

Top-Tier Technology for Process Control

We enhance the knowledge and control of customers’ processes using our Fourier Transform Infra-Red, Lasentec Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement, Raman Process Analytical Technology capabilities, and modeling applications.

Outstanding Analytical & Regulatory Support

Robust analytical method development is a central pillar for process development, both for regulatory filings and to safeguard the quality of the therapy as it advances towards commercialization. Our analytical and regulatory experts are here to help, providing a fully integrated service.
