Our experience of more than 35 yrs with patents and several publications worldwide. ARC team brings a depth knowledge and breadth of experience across drug substance/product development pathways, allowing us to address the full scope of a client’s regulatory and drug substance development needs and closely worked with various regulatory authorities.

API Development


Few decisions in pharmaceutical operations are as critical as selecting the right API Development process. Acute Research, chemical development scientists have the skill and experience to meet a wide range of outsourcing needs from the custom synthesis and scale-up of an existing route, to identification and development of new manufacturing routes from scratch. At each step of the process development cycle, complete hazard assessment tools are available to allow for safe production of your compounds.

Custom Synthesis from Milligram to Kilogram

Scale-up of Existing Processes

Process Research, Development & Optimization

Large-Scale Synthesis & cGMP Commercial Manufacturing

Analytical Development


At any development stage and scale of synthesis, Acute services for contracted customers include all supporting activities that are required to be adequately cGMP compliant such as:

Analytical method development and validation

Process validation

Cleaning validation

Batch release

Characterization of solid state properties, (e.g. particle size distribution and polymorphism)

Proof of API structure

Identification of impurities

Preparation of Analytical Reference Standards

Conduction of stability studies

CRAMS


The growth in Development and Manufacturing Services is largely driven by the Chemical Development group. Our state-of- the-art ARC offers a one-stop destination for organizations/Customers looking to optimize their intermediate, API, phytochemicals without compromising on the quality of output.

We have reined our strengths through strong CRAMS team (Scientist, chemical engineers) with modern facilities, command over affordable technologies and gained experience of years by performing thereby continuously developing and nurturing desired quality products and technologies within the stipulated timelines.

CRAMs basically consists of the following two activities:

Custom synthesis

Contract manufacturing


Other Services (CRAMS)

FTE model (full time equivalent), for fixed tenure, on a mutually agreed target compound/processes.

Analytical method development and validation.

Supply of Impurity standards.

Polymorph evaluation.

Salt screening.

CRAMS also provides services in development of dossier for submission to regulatory bodies. This involves collation of information from the scientific publications and laboratories. Expertise by CRAMS in this case demonstrates excellent review of documents and clarity in communications with regulatory bodies.

The focus of compliances involves:

Compilation of Dossiers

Preparation of regulatory responses

Post approval regulatory changes

Working Standards & Impurities


Working Standards & Impurities Our synthetic and analytical team work in close coordination to develop process for Synthesis and characterisation of impurities by various spectrometric techniques.
