SCYNEXIS Process Chemistry & cGMP API Manufacturing: Selected Achievements

  • Reduced cost of goods (COGS) by more than 88% for a client that originally placed the initial phase of the project with a competitor, saving the client more than $72,000 per kilogram of API
  • Performed full technical transfer of a Phase 3 nucleoside campaign in six weeks from client contact to batch release
  • Rapidly scaled-up a lab-scale process from milligrams to multi-kilograms of GMP material while removing costly chromatography and lyophilization
  • Reduced 16-step synthesis to six steps with an innovative chemical development approach
  • Developed Intellectual Property (IP) for a client to produce enantiomerically pure compound by simple recrystallization
