Abstract
Experience with the FDA Guidance ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin
When the FDA Guidance was published, many public comments from industry expressed concerns regarding the feasibility to comply with the guidance expectations. In the meantime, experience has been obtained with some of the peptides covered by the guidance. This presentation will reiterate the guidance requirements together with Bachem’s respective experience obtained so far.

Abstract
Purification of Synthetic Oligonucleotides: A CMO Perspective
Purification of synthetic oligonucleotides is a very material intensive process, consuming huge amounts of solvent per kg of drug substance. Different purification strategies and their impact on the PMI of the manufacturing process and the applications of MCSGP for process intensification and solvent reduction will be discussed.

Abstract
DMF Replacement in SPPS: Key Findings and Latest Results
The main SPPS solvent for complex peptides is DMF. Even though DMF is an excellent and well-established solvent for SPPS, replacement for a less toxic solvent (or solvent mixture) is advisable in the light of recent REACH regulations. Bachem has been working on that topic for some time now. Results have been published recently together with our cooperation partners. In this presentation, we will present our key findings and latest results.
