Chemical & Electronics Group Producing Better Medicines Becomes Healthy Business Opportunity in Life Science Unit Medical Science Department Enchancing Existing Relationships with Pharmaceutical Companies By Introducing Chiral Technology A recent business venture between SCOA’s Chemicals & Electronics Group and a chemical technology company is establishing new business within SCOA’s existing pharmaceutical relationships. To simplify the overall notion, this new opportunity will not assist in making the medicine, but in making the medicine better. With the on-going, unprecedented consolidation in the pharmaceutical industry, the management in the Life Science Unit’s Medical Science Department recognized the need for strategic relationships that would differentiate our business for sustainable growth. Given the current economic downturn, this foresight, coupled with the resources of SCOA’s established infrastructure, is getting us through tough times. “One year ago, the Medical Science Department entered into a worldwide sales and marketing agreement with Chiral Quest, strengthening our ability to offer innovative supply chain solutions to our pharmaceutical client companies, “ said Yasunori Ishibashi, Senior Director of SCOA’s Life Science Unit. “Chiral Quest is a U.S.-based venture capital-funded technology company that received $13 million in funding to further develop their process along with manufacturing operations in China. The heart of Chiral Quest is its patented catalyst technology. A catalyst is something that accelerates a chemical reaction without becoming part of the product.This process allows the final product to be produced more inexpensively and in less time.” Proven Science Chiral Quest’s catalytic processes allow for the accelerated and improved manufacturing of chiral compounds. Compounds or objects are said to be chiral when non-superposable on their mirror images. Chirality arises naturally out of a structure’s asymmetric spacial orientation, an everyday example of which is the right and the left hand. They are non-superimposable on their mirror images.Try it! These chiral compounds serve as building blocks for many of the more complex chemical structures that define the active pharmaceutical ingredient for most of the significant drugs on the market, as well as those in development for the drugs of the future. It is the chiral nature of these 6 visions Spring 2009
