Peptides are a complex drug class, and have historically proven challenging from a manufacturing standpoint. They are, however, experiencing a renaissance due to improvements in peptide synthesis, the development of…
While linear drug scale-up sounds great on paper, the reality is usually much different. In fact, scaling up an API can be challenging even under the best circumstances. In fact,…
Several posts ago, I discussed an article on the ‘shifting sands’ of contract provider/pharma relationships, and how smart providers were responding to pharma’s needs, rather than establishing fixed models of…
Neuland has recently welcomed the addition of a new, dedicated Process Engineering Lab to its R&D Center. The lab opened in March, and supports operations and safety studies via a…
A pharmaceutical manufacturer is only as good as its supply chain. Supply chain management and strategic sourcing are the key drivers which keep operations running smoothly. Set the Right Inventory…
In today’s pharmaceutical industry, Quality by Design (QbD) has become an essential – instead of optional – tool. In fact, the phrase, “essential instead of optional” reminds me of the…
Deuterated compounds – in which a drug molecule’s carbon-hydrogen bond is replaced with a carbon deuterium bond to extend the drug’s half-life – continue to show promise in potentially boosting the…
Earlier this month, we published a post on Improving Quality and Yield in Solid Phase Peptide Manufacturing. In recent years, peptides have been acknowledged for their selectivity, efficacy and safety. Combined…
In a recent issue of PharmTech, Agnes Shanley wrote an article on the specialty markets and services driving the growth of APIs in which we were featured. For me, the…
In a post last month, we discussed the three types of peptide production techniques Neuland uses to cGMP manufacture peptide APIs and NCEs for clients. We also mentioned some of the…
