Symyx is a contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) delivering biopharmaceutical product development with highly optimised and robust formulations.
The company’s services offer a fast, reliable route to clinical trials. It has more than a decade of experience working with some of the smallest biotechnology start-ups and largest pharmaceutical companies.
Symyx combines formulation expertise, high-productivity research technology and current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) manufacturing capability in a single facility.
Biopharmaceutical product development
Symyx uses its expertise in formulation science, high-productivity research and biopharmaceutical product development to solve complex formulation problems ranging from proteins to peptides to antibodies. We develop highly optimized and robust formulations, so that clinical trials test the efficacy of the drug, not the limitations of the formulation.
Symyx
Pharmaceutical development using parallel experimentation technology
Symyx utilizes microscale, parallel experimentation technology to quickly deliver information on our clients’ small-molecule candidates. Symyx scientists deliver critical solubility and solid-form selection information using microgram amounts of API, investigate a broad range of conditions for comprehensive accelerated stress testing and compatibility studies, and rapidly identify key process parameters for route selection and process optimization using array-based studies.
CGMP fill and finish manufacturing
Symyx integrates formulation development and CGMP fill and finish to enable direct transfer of liquid and lyophilized processes to early clinical manufacturing. We offer both manual and automated aseptic fills in a sterile environment that meets US and EU standards. Our facility provides in-process, release and stability testing services with a range of CGMP analytical techniques.
Biological and chemical process development
Symyx can help you quickly identify and optimize key process conditions and parameters to speed and ensure successful development.
Biological:
Clinical manufacturing process: develop a scalable formulation process to take laboratory methods to clinical production
Lyophilization scale-up: ensure the method piloted in the laboratory scales up to clinical manufacturing
Chemical:
Array-based experimentation: investigate a broad parameter space for route selection and process development for catalytic and other organic transformations
Optimize liquid, solid and lyophilized formulations for improved delivery, and investigate the effect of excipients on drug substance and other parameters.
Biological:
Formulation development: broadly screen surfactants, pH, tonicity modifiers, bulking agents and other variables and optimize accordingly
Long-term stability studies: two months to multi-year
Drug substance compatibility: identify potential degradants and interactions with excipients and container/closure systems
Lyophilization cycle development: develop a scalable process for next phase manufacturing
Chemical:
Forced degradation: identify conditions that cause API degradation in liquid and solid formulations
API compatibility: identify incompatible excipients and drug products
Preformulation molecular studies
Investigate the physical and biological properties of a molecule, identify key stresses and degradation products, create stability-indicating assays and select the feasible formulation for early clinical trials.
Symyx Technologies (NASDAQ: SMMX) today announced the launch of the Symyx Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO). The Symyx CDMO helps biopharmaceutical companies move promising drug candidates to clinical trials faster and more reliably with integrated formulation development
