ChiralReach

Integrated Chromatography and Chemical Synthesis

ChiralReach is an integrated solution that unites preparative chiral chromatography with scalable asymmetric route development, ensuring both immediate delivery of enantiopure material and long‑term manufacturability under one coordinated programme.

ChiralReach
Quick filter:

Chiral drug programmes face a dilemma: biology and tox studies need enantiopure material now, but scalable asymmetric synthesis takes time and working sequentially only makes things slower and riskier.

ChiralReach does both at once – a fully integrated chiral development programme that delivers enantiopure material rapidly for early-stage studies, while concurrently building a scalable asymmetric synthesis route.

What You Achieve with ChiralReach
No Programme Delay
Enantiopure material arrives quickly, enabling biology and tox studies to start immediately - advancing programmes without waiting for route scouting or optimisation.
One Partner, One Programme
Chromatography, asymmetric route development, analytical control and HTE integration are aligned from the outset. This unified approach can remove up to six months from timelines compared to sequential workflows.
Speed + Scalability
The immediate supply of high-purity material is seamlessly paired with scalable chemistry that supports progression toward IND.

The ChiralReach Solution

By combining chromatographic separation, asymmetric chemistry and rigorous analytical support within a single, unified timeline, ChiralReach eliminates the delays of sequential workflows. You achieve:

Rapid supply of enantiopure material to keep early biology and tox studies on track

Concurrent asymmetric route development, removing the need for sequential workflows

Rigorous analytical integration across separation and synthesis workstreams

A unified timeline from candidate selection through to IND-enabling studies

What Sets Us Apart

Scalable Synthesis Capabilities

Our process chemistry team builds asymmetric routes that are robust, efficient, and phase-appropriate, ready for tech transfer to GMP manufacturing. Our capabilities include:

– Asymmetric synthesis

– Direct crystallisation

– Kinetic resolution

– Diastereomeric resolution

– Catalysis

This integrated capability ensures your enantiopure API can be delivered at scale, safely and reliably.

High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE)

While chromatography supplies immediate material, automated HTE explores hundreds of reaction conditions in parallel to identify scalable, selective chemistry. Aligned with the DMTS emphasis on real‑time data and iterative design, HTE accelerates:

– Catalyst / ligand / base screening

– Broad design‑space exploration

– Early identification of scalable asymmetric routes

– Data-driven decision making

Route Scouting & Selection

We combine digital tools, expert review, and structured manufacturability scoring to prioritise viable asymmetric routes before major lab investment. Routes are evaluated on:

– Technical feasibility

– Precedent at scale

– Robustness and complexity

– Cost and material availability

– Environmental and supply-chain considerations

Only the most robust routes progress to experimental development.

1 / 1
By combining preparative chiral chromatography with asymmetric route design from day one, we remove the traditional bottleneck between material supply and scalable chemistry. It means our customers get the right enantiomer immediately while we’re already building the route that will carry them to IND submission.
