Our core technical team is composed of experienced researchers specializing in formulation and analytical science. With extensive expertise across the entire formulation development value chain, we offer end-to-end services from preclinical research to commercial manufacturing. We have established unique technological strengths in frontier fields such as GLP-1 drugs, peptides and peptide formulations, sustained-release peptide formulations, and radiopharmaceutical (RDC) development.
Leveraging our globally distributed R&D and manufacturing facilities, we have built a comprehensive formulation development system. In the peptide formulation field, we provide diverse solutions including multi-dose/single-dose cartridge injectable solutions, lyophilized powder for injection, and inhalation solutions. In RDC development, our team has mastered optimized conjugation techniques for radionuclides and targeting vectors, offering innovative technologies to support precision oncology diagnostics and therapy. As of the end of 2024, our team has supported over 100 new drug development projects (covering preclinical to Phase III stages), primarily focused on GLP-1 analogs, other peptide drugs, and RDCs. We have also successfully completed 5 generic drug consistency evaluation projects involving injectable and other formulations.
As a technology-driven team, we remain committed to innovation and continuous translation of research into real-world solutions. Our efforts not only provide safe and effective formulation solutions to the global pharmaceutical market, promoting the clinical and industrial application of peptide and RDC drugs, but also establish a strong competitive edge in the field of generic drug consistency evaluation.
Pre-formulation Research
As a key preliminary step in drug development, pre-formulation research serves as a critical link between drug discovery and formulation design. Its technical quality directly impacts dosage form development and process feasibility.
For new drug development, we systematically conduct studies on the key properties of APIs — including solubility testing, polymorph screening, forced degradation analysis, and preliminary stability assessments — to accurately identify physicochemical characteristics and potential degradation pathways. These insights serve as the foundation for formulation design, process optimization, and quality standard development, ultimately reducing R&D risks and improving druggability from the outset.
In generic drug development, in-depth analysis of the reference listed drug (RLD) is a central focus of pre-formulation research. Through reverse engineering, we decode the formulation composition, manufacturing process, and critical quality attributes (CQAs) of the originator drug. This enables targeted guidance for formulation matching and process reproduction, and, in line with the Quality by Design (QbD) approach, ensures that the generic product achieves equivalence in safety, efficacy, and quality control—laying a solid technical foundation for successful consistency evaluation.
Formulation Development
As a vital bridge between drug development and industrialization, formulation development plays a key role in translating lab results into clinical applications. Our team focuses on innovative formulation technologies and scalable industrial requirements, building a full-process development system covering formulation design, process optimization, quality research, and pilot-scale production. We offer customized solutions tailored to different drug types (small molecules, peptides, radiopharmaceuticals) and dosage forms (injectables, inhalation products, sustained-release formulations).
In new drug formulation development, we base our work on pre-formulation data and consider the intended indication and administration route for dosage form and process design. For the stability challenges of peptide drugs, we have developed multi-dose/single-dose cartridge injectable solutions and lyophilized powder injections. By optimizing buffer systems and lyophilization processes, we significantly improve product stability. For RDCs, we have established precise conjugation processes between targeting vectors and radionuclides along with quality control systems to ensure effective and safe radiolabeling. Using computer-aided formulation design (CADD) and QbD principles, we systematically optimize formulations and process parameters to precisely control key performance indicators such as dissolution, release profiles, and targeting behavior.
In generic drug development, we combine reverse engineering of RLDs with forward process optimization to achieve formulation and process equivalency. For complex dosage forms like injectables and inhalation solutions, we accurately match CQAs such as particle size distribution, purity, and impurity profiles. Through process scale-up and pilot-scale validation, we ensure that generics match the reference drug in safety, efficacy, and manufacturing controllability—enabling efficient regulatory approval.
To date, we have successfully supported over 30 formulation development projects for both new and generic drugs, including GLP-1 drugs, peptide sustained-release formulations, and RDCs. We have overcome technical bottlenecks such as peptide degradation, low radiolabeling efficiency, and scale-up challenges in complex dosage forms. From lab-scale trials to GMP-compliant pilot production, we are powered by dual engines of “technological innovation + industrial translation,” providing comprehensive support for new drug development from concept to clinic, and enabling high-quality, cost-effective mass production of generics that drive efficient transformation from R&D results to clinical value.
Formulation Manufacturing
As the final step in translating drug R&D into clinical use, formulation manufacturing is the critical link that connects laboratory innovation with commercial products. Relying on our globally integrated production facilities and intelligent manufacturing lines, we have established a full-chain production system covering pilot scale-up, process validation, and commercial-scale production. With strong capabilities across multiple dosage forms, products, and specifications, we meet the capacity needs of innovative drugs from clinical development to commercialization, while supporting the high-quality, large-scale production of generic drugs.
