APIs & Intermediates Custom Development

BOC Sciences focuses on R&D and production services for APIs & Intermediates. We have accumulated more than 20 years of project experience, focusing on custom R&D, process development, production and sales of APIs & Intermediates, developed a rich R&D service line, and formed a unique core competitiveness. With the increasing number of service lines, we are still making industrial layouts and striving to expand into new fields. At present, the company's APIs & Intermediates are divided into two major segments, namely featured APIs and patented original research drugs.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are the biologically active components of a drug that produce the desired therapeutic effect. APIs are the basic chemical compounds that make a drug effective in treating a specific disease or condition. These substances are responsible for the pharmacological activity of the drug and are formulated along with inactive ingredients to form the final dosage form such as tablets, capsules, injections, or liquids. APIs can be obtained from a variety of sources including plants, animals, microorganisms, and synthetic chemicals. Depending on the nature of the drug and its intended use, APIs can have different physical and chemical properties. In drug development, the selection of the right API is crucial as it determines the efficacy, safety, and stability of the final drug product. In terms of therapeutics, APIs can be classified into different categories based on their intended use such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antiviral drugs, cardiovascular drugs, central nervous system (CNS) drugs, and oncology drugs.

Pharmaceutical Intermediates

Drug intermediates are chemical compounds produced during the synthesis of APIs. These intermediate compounds undergo further chemical reactions to ultimately form active pharmaceutical ingredients. Drug intermediates are essential in the manufacturing process of APIs as they serve as building blocks or precursor molecules for the synthesis of complex drug compounds. The production of drug intermediates involves various chemical reactions and purification processes to ensure the quality and purity of the final API. Drug intermediates can be classified based on their specific chemical structure, function in the synthetic pathway, or role in the final drug formulation. These intermediate compounds play a key role in optimizing the efficiency and yield of API synthesis. Drug intermediates are classified based on their role in the synthetic pathway, including key intermediates, side chain precursors, ring closure reagents, protecting groups, and coupling agents.
