Impurity Profiling & Reference Standards

Impurity Profiling 

Impurity profiling is a crucial process in pharmaceutical research and production, involving the identification, isolation, and characterisation of impurities. This process is essential for establishing the biological safety of a drug substance or monograph, ensuring the safety and efficacy of the product. Reference standards serve as essential benchmarks, enabling the accurate assessment of the purity of compounds in the development and manufacturing process.

Impurity profiling plays a significant role in drug development by ensuring that the drug substances meet strict safety standards. The impurity standards underscore the necessity and scope of impurity profiling, particularly in the context of pharmaceutical research, enabling the identification of risks and enhancement of product safety.

Small Molecule Synthesis

Small-molecule synthesis refers to the creation of low-molecular-weight compounds that are pivotal in drug development. Impurity profiling in small molecules helps ensure their safety and effectiveness by identifying potential contaminants that could compromise the drug’s performance or stability. This is crucial in evaluating the biological safety of APIS (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients).

Large Molecule Synthesis

Large molecule synthesis involves the production of biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies, proteins, and vaccines. Due to their complex structure, large molecules often contain multiple forms of impurities, making impurity profiling even more crucial. Pharmaffiliates' deep expertise in this area ensures that each step in the synthesis process maintains the purity and safety standards required for regulatory approval.

Drug and Process Development

In drug and process development, impurity profiling is essential at every stage—from early development to production. By identifying impurities early in the process, pharmaceutical companies can ensure that their products meet regulatory standards, are consistently of high quality, and remain effective for patient use. Pharmaffiliates offers extensive experience in synthesising impurities and metabolites of APIS and FPPS, including antibiotics, steroids, chiral and achiral drugs, and deuterated compounds.

Polymorphism Studies

Polymorphism studies explore the various crystalline forms a compound may adopt, which can significantly influence its solubility, bioavailability, and stability. Impurity profiling ensures that these different forms are adequately characterised, providing vital information about the compound's potential impact on therapeutic effectiveness and safety.

Deuterated Compounds

Deuterated compounds are used in a variety of research applications, particularly in pharmacokinetics studies. These compounds are synthesised by replacing hydrogen with deuterium, a heavier isotope. Impurity profiling ensures the integrity and purity of these compounds, which is critical in determining their safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance.

Pharmaffiliates understands the industry's need for rigorous impurity profiling. With over 10,000 impurities in stock and a catalogue of more than 300,000 compounds, Pharmaffiliates is equipped to deliver expert services in the synthesis and analysis of impurities and metabolites across a wide range of drug substances, including antibiotics, steroids, chiral, and deuterated compounds.
