Small molecule API solution: Taking a big picture approach

With competitive options for API outsourcing in all geographical regions, it can be difficult to choose the right partner for your project, regardless of its complexity. Thermo Fisher Scientific...

Infographic

Bioavailability enhancement technologies for poorly soluble molecules

It’s estimated that about 40% of drugs with market approval and nearly 90% of molecules in the discovery pipeline are poorly soluble. This can impede drug absorption, leading to reduced bioavailability and compromised therapeutic efficacy. Explore how Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Quadrant 2^TM platform leverages AI/ML tools to identify solubility enhancement technologies.

Webinar

Route Scouting for a cost-effective process development

In this webinar, experts from across Thermo Fisher Scientific’s global network will describe key benefits of route scouting and polymorph screening at early stages of clinical trials to ensure scalability for early clinical supplies to commercial manufacturing.

Whitepaper

Advancing drug development using in silico modeling

This report provides a framework for that understanding by outlining some of the processes that stand to gain the most from computational modeling and identifying the in silico capabilities that can be used to accelerate and de-risk each phase of development.

Case study

Midsize pharma company stabilizes API - Accelerates time to clinic from three months to three weeks

A midsize pharma company wanted to progress its therapy from early development to late-phase clinical trial stage, but needed a CDMO partner to provide support in formulation analysis so that it could stabilize its product and successfully reach its clinical studies milestones.

Mastering complex small molecule APIs and formulations

Complex small molecule APIs are characterized by their intricate structures, higher molecular weights, and sophisticated delivery requirements, which pose unique challenges in their formulation and manufacturing processes.
