| Protected
amino acids |
| Both
solid phase and solution phase peptide syntheses are demanding a growing
array of protected amino acids. These peptide syntheses require amine
protection, side-chain protection, and often acid activation or protection.
The addition order of the protecting groups can have a significant
influence on both the cost and quality of a particular derivative.
UNIBIOCHEM has extensive experience in kilos-to-tons manufacturing
of this wide array of protected amino acids. UNIBIOCHEM has emerged
as a reliable, high-quality source for over 400 amino acid derivatives
for the synthesis of therapeutic peptides and peptidomimetics. |

| Unnatural
amino acids |
| Unnatural
amino acids, their derivatives, and small peptides continue to gain
importance in drug development. Reliable, cost-effective commercial
supply of these intermediates is crucial for a successful drug launch.
UNIBIOCHEM employs the most cost-effective manufacturing processes
to provide high-quality, reproducible Unnatural amino acids on an
industrial scale. We have developed expertise in both enzymatic and
chemical routes to unnatural amino acids. UNIBIOCHEM's catalog presents
more than 120 parent unnatural amino acids, all available on a research
scale as D- and L-enantiomers with chiral purity exceeding 99%. |
|
| The
acylase route is a well-established, cost-effective process for producing
both enantiomers of many unnatural amino acids. Hydantoinase enzymes
can be used to provide high yields of high-purity D form amino acids.
Other enzymes, including transaminase and nitrilase, are also evaluated
in select situations. |
|
| Solution
phase synthesis |
| UNIBIOCHEM
has also developed expertise in the solution phase manufacture of
small peptides, the ultimate products most often derived from amino
acids. The choices of protection group, activating group, order of
addition and coupling agent lead to numerous alternate potential peptide
synthesis routes. Our experience in the manufacture of the protected
amino acids as well as solution phase coupling allows us to quickly
target the most cost effective process. UNIBIOCHEM's efficient production
of amino acid derivatives provides the critical raw materials for
peptide fragments, which we have manufactured by solution phase on
a metric ton scale. |

| Amino
alcohols |
| Amino
alcohols are important amino acid derivatives used in chiral auxiliaries
and as chiral building blocks. |
|
| Custom
chiral intermediates |
| UNIBIOCHEM
takes its specialty amino acids downstream to the manufacture of many
complex chiral intermediates. Multiple adjacent chiral centers, required
for an increasing number of developmental drugs, can be accessed through
amino acid derivative chemistry. The chemistry required for these
derivatives, including hydrogenation, Grignard and hydride additions,
condensations reactions and others, has been practiced on a multi-ton
scale at UNIBIOCHEM. Most of this chemistry is carried out under confidentiality
protocol. UNIBIOCHEM welcomes your confidential inquiries for multi-step
custom manufacturing of similar products and other organic intermediates
required in drug discovery and development programs. |
