Challenging steps can derail even the most promising synthetic pathway. Low yields, complex purifications, or unsustainable conditions waste time and resources.
Our catalysis and enabling chemistry platforms replace those barriers with robust, elegant solutions, improving selectivity, streamlining development, and supporting long-term manufacturability.
With expertise spanning chemocatalysis, biocatalysis, asymmetric hydrogenation, photocatalysis, and carbonylations, our scientists design catalytic strategies that simplify complexity and create lasting value for your molecule.
What You Can Achieve
Green Catalysis in Drug Development
Sustainability is embedded in our catalytic approach from the very first screen.
- Lifecycle assessment: PMI and carbon footprint tracked throughout development
- Greener solvents & reagents: Preference for bio-based, low-toxicity materials
- Catalytic efficiency: Chemo- and biocatalysis platforms cut energy use and shorten routes
- Waste minimisation: In-line monitoring and optimised work-ups reduce solvent swaps and material use
- Regulatory alignment: Metrics mapped to ICH sustainability guidance and ESG reporting
We deliver catalytic solutions that are not only robust and scalable, but also auditable and environmentally responsible.
Frequently Asked Questions
