A clear plan for developing the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC), of peptide and oligonucleotide drug substances, affords our partners a risk-mitigated approach to any clinical and commercial milestones. Our interactions with regulatory authorities and sponsors around the world lends itself to a general plan (below), which is custom-tailored to every project.

Innovation is part of our DNA and is more important now than ever, as it’s common to see modified or augmented peptide constructs. Peptides with unnatural amino acids, PEGylation, lipidation, glycosylation, imaging agents and structural constraint, are only a few examples of what we encounter with today’s peptide-based entities.

Bachem strives for innovation by optimizing our supply chain, manufacturing unnatural amino acid derivatives in-house, and meticulous characterization at intermediate stages. We also carefully evaluate peptide synthesis methodology; including liquid phase peptide synthesis, solid phase peptide synthesis, or hybrid approaches.

Modern synthetic innovations like Molecular Hiving™, or downstream innovations like continuous chromatography, and an overall green-conscious process, are examples of pioneering commercial manufacturing technology for peptides, which Bachem is proud to have in our toolbox.

It’s only getting better at Bachem – with a research committee dedicated to evaluating the newest trends and technologies, and collaborating with academic groups and industry non-profits, rest assured that our customers have access to the latest and great in peptides.

The Bachem facilities are regularly inspected and approved by national and international regulatory authorities like FDA, Swissmedic and others and we have available our certificates of GMP compliance, licenses and other documents.
