Seqens has developed a unique FOS composition, made from sucrose and presenting a large diversity in chain length. While short chains are metabolized quickly by colonic bacteria, medium chains have a sustained effect over time and very long chains are likely to be excreted before being fully metabolized by the bacteria.  Our unique FOS composition corresponds to an optimal balance between short and medium chain lengths. 

We asked 5 questions to Dr. Sonia Lombardo, Preformulation Solid State Engineer at SEQENS, about bioavailability improvement and pre-formulation studies during drug development.

Facing a highly competitive global market with increasing awareness on environmental issues, chemical production is making its way toward a paradigm shift to more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and more versatile manufacturing processes. In this white paper, we wish to review some of the key advanced tools available to process chemists for addressing the challenges in process intensification.

During this webinar, we present the specific challenges encountered by Biotech companies when developing New Chemical Entities from Discovery phase to Early Clinical phases. A case study is presented on an API presenting a low water solubility and at the same time a low solubility in lipophilic solvents.

Discover in the latest Organic Letters issue, how SEQENS in collaboration with Géraldine Masson, have developed a more greener approach for the decarboxylative borylation, leading efficiently to a- and b-amino-boronamides, an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry.

This paper presents the different strategies considered to enhance pharmaceutical drugs bioavailability.
A special focus is made on the need
to understand, at early stage, the behaviour and the characteristics of these compounds, especially physical, chemical and biological
properties.

Highly potent drugs represent a growing proportion of medicines, including therapies in development and those commercially available. In this article, discover some best practices and synthetic route considerations for delivering highly potent drugs.

The concept of multi-catalysis is an emerging field targeting the development of new efficient catalytic systems combining multi-step synthesis in new ‘one-pot’ transformations or in multi-catalytic sequences.

About 30% of all APIs carry a Fluor atom, and many APIs need at least one fluorinated intermediate during their synthesis. Using continuous flow chemistry for fluorination steps could improve reactions performances in terms of reaction time and conversion ratio.

Enzyme evolution involves some changes of amino acid residues that constitute the sequence of the protein, which can alter its conformational dynamics and ultimately affect its enzymatic function

Seqens participated to this year’s annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), held in Chicago on June 2-6 .
