Success story

Enantiopure biosynthesis of key chiral intermediate

Customer challenge

Chemical process incurred a high cost to access enantiopure quantities of a key chiral intermediate required for an oral anti-epileptic pharmaceutical.

Ingenza’s inGenius® solution

Efficient chemo-enzymatic conversion of a low-cost starting material to the desired enantiopure product, providing material to customer and cost-effective manufacturing process.

100%

100% enantioselective biosynthesis of the target

10x

10x bioprocess cost reduction following optimisation

200x

200x increase in enzyme yield from recombinant P. pastoris

Delivered

Optimised bioprocess, including recombinant enzyme prepared using P. pastoris and analytical chiral method. Multi-kilo quantities of key intermediate supplied in over 99% enantiomeric excess to support final drug development.
