Bachem

Our partner Bachem develops innovative biochemicals for research, as well as peptide and organic solutions as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Headquartered in Switzerland, Bachem focuses on industry standards with decades of experience in peptide research. Bachem's business activities are divided into two business areas, research chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Research chemicals

The wide range of Bachem's research reagents offers a variety of products for peptide research. As one of the market leaders in this field, the company develops and synthesizes various biologically active peptides and biochemicals. The company now produces more than 6500 different peptides, amino acid derivatives and biochemicals. If your desired research product does not correspond to the catalog products, do not hesitate to contact us. Bachem also offers customized synthesis for compounds according to your specifications - from milligrams to kilograms in size. The peptide chemists have expertise in the production of fluorescence-labeled peptides, peptides with multiple disulfide bridges, peptides with stable isotopes and multi-stage organic transformations. With Bachem's excellent know-how in peptide chemistry and organic synthesis, the best research results are possible.

The spectrum of research chemicals includes amino acid derivatives, resins and reagents for peptide production and for organic synthesis, bioactive peptides, enzyme substrates and other biochemicals.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)

The world's leading manufacturer for active peptide ingredients develops and synthesizes large batches of pharmaceutical substances for projects in clinical studies. Bachem has also successfully established itself as a supplier for the development and production of oligonucleotides. GMP production facilities in Switzerland and in the USA are currently researching over 150 cGMP development projects. Inspections by the FDA and by local authorities guarantee high product quality. Of course, required official documents such as drug master files (DMFs) are provided.

Bachem's APIs are widely used, for example in the therapeutic and diagnostic fields of human medicine or veterinary medicine. Research areas such as oncology, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's or hypoglycemia are typically covered. The active ingredients are also used in clinical studies, market-approved drugs or in the cosmetics industry. Accordingly, the company's customer base is made up of biotechnological companies, pharmaceutical and veterinary companies.

There are mainly patent-free (generics) and patent-protected (new chemical entities, NCEs) peptide pharmaceutical active ingredients APIs. Examples of generic peptides are glugacon, secretin, thymosin, oxytocin or vasopressin. The patented NCEs may only be manufactured and used by the originator or contracted partners. Many of these patented products are in clinical trials.
