Exclusive Synthesis: Early Stage Services
Early Stage Services-"Fast & Pure": keeping projects on the fast track.
Novasep's early stage services address the challenge to move active pharmaceutical ingredients from lead optimisation into clinical candidates. Especially during early stages of development, pharmaceutical companies all have the same needs: quantity, quality and time constraints. Novasep supports customers during preclinical and early clinical phases by providing fast access to pure molecules.
Novasep offers exclusive, custom synthesis services from milligram to kilogram.

Novasep's Early Stage Offering
Novasep offers its custom synthesis services to meet customers' needs for:
- synthesis and purification of preclinical batches of drug candidates for ADME TOX studies, stability, formulation, etc.
- cGMP synthesis of APIs for clinical trials .
- synthesis and purification of reference compounds, intermediates, analytical standards and metabolites
- Analytical methods development, stability testing including stress stability and regulatory support
Our Early Stage's Team
Novasep's Early Stage team is composed of experienced and expert chemists , who are familiar with the demands of early stage projects. Novasep specialists are handling different types of cGMP products and among those, highly potent APIs. All API manufacturing sites are FDA inspected.
Early Stage chemists and project managers interact and communicate directly and regularly with our customers.
Combined and Unique Solutions
Mixing proven chemistry to innovative purification technologies for early stage API candidates makes Novasep offering unique.
For example, our team will introduce, at the appropriate step, a preparative chromatography purification to simplify and speed up the synthesis route in order to obtain rapidly pure quantities of a required molecule. This brings obvious advantages such as being able to select the optimal synthesis stage for purifying the desired compound.
Novasep's Technologies
Early stage services are using Novasep' s technologies portfolio:
- Chiral technologies: asymmetric synthesis, chiral pool, preparative chiral chromatography,
- Hazardous chemistry: azide, diazomethane, diborane, ozonolysis, carbonylation
