PCI Synthesis launches four new products
PCI Synthesis, Inc., a Newburyport-based, 14-year-old pharmaceutical manufacturer of new chemical entities, generic active pharmaceutical ingredients and other specialty chemical products, has launched four new proprietary application programming interfaces (APIs) that were initiated during 2012. The four new products brings the company’s total to 13 exclusive generic APIs in its pipeline.
After completing an expansion of its R&D facility in Devens, growing capacity by 30 percent, implementing new systems and purchasing new equipment, PCI stepped up development of new APIs that it has developed on its own.
PCI provides dozens of emerging pharma clients with access to expertise for the development and manufacturing of complex small molecules. Company officials expect the current set of generic APIs to be commercialized over the next three to four years. PCI has also committed to developing another three to four new products in 2013.
In 2012, the company continued the clinical development of more than a half-dozen different new chemical entities for many of its Boston-area partners. Many of these products are now in the process of being scaled up in its Newburyport plant for later stage clinical development.
