OligOsaccharides20 years expertise

200 chemical steps developed

synthetic heparinoïds

WorldWide leader

Sanofi has been involved in oligo-saccharide chemistry since the 90’s and is recognized as a world-wide leader in API manufacturing in this field.Amongst this family of very active anti-thrombotic derivatives, Sanofi developed and marketed semi-synthetic or fully synthetic hepari-noïds. For the fully synthetic oligosac-charides, Sanofi has developed complex molecules which manu-facture requires a high number of chemical steps (up to 80 chemical steps).

For the projects, we develop a sy-nergetic approach using a common building-blocks strategy based on our worldwide industrial network.Main advantages:• Minimizethenumberofchemical intermediates• Reduceleadtime• Increasesecurityofsupply• Optimizecostofgoods.

more than 200 chemical steps have been developed by our teams and more than 100 experts have been involved to ensure a high level of performance on this very specific chemistry being able to manage even at production scale:

•Activationofoligosaccharidesthroughout trichloroacetimidates, thioglycosides

•Couplingreactions(glycosylations): - stereoselective & stereospecific reactions -lowtemperature(downto-50°Catproduction scale) - anhydrous conditions (water contents below 10 ppm)

•Orthogonalprotection/deprotectionstrategy

•Specificexpertisesin: - azidation - hydrazine handling

in addition, our analytical department fully supports these development activities with:

•Chromatographytechniques(HPLC,GC,IC,CE)with specific detection for molecules without UV absorption

•Massspectrometry(Q-TOF,TOF,Ion-trap)andNMR (500MHzand300MHz)toelucidateverycomplex chemical structures

HigHly Active Products

Iso 7 classIfIcatIon

outstandIng facIlItIes

oeB 5 compounds

HIgHly skIlled teams

CEPiA offers to customers to have their Highly active product (HAP) projects handled by the same ex-perts who developed and manu-facture the two marketed drugs: Docetaxel (Taxotere®) and Cabazi-taxel (Jevtana®)

We are committed to sharing our scientific knowledge and experience in pharmacology and toxicology to support your project.

Our internal team of experts in industrial hygiene can assess OEB* categorization for APIs and upstream intermediates only when necessary to minimize costs. We apply the OEB* index from 1 to 5 relative to the product toxicity. OEB* index corresponds to an OEL** range (see the following table).

our high level of expertise acquired through solid and long lasting experience in handling cytotoxic compounds is strongly set on four principles:

*OEB: Occupational Exposure Brand**OEL: Occupational Exposure Level

oeB* OEL** Range (µg/m3)

oeB 1 1 000 - 5 000

oeB 2 100 - 1 000

oeB 3 10 - 100

oeB 4 1 - 10

oeB 5 < 1

• Extensive knowledge in Chemistry

• State-of-the-art facilities

• Highly trained team

• Environment, Health and Safety experts

our facilities for highly active compounds manufacturing are located near paris (france), operated under cgmp procedures and are governed by sanofi Quality control. On the same site, two production units are suitable for technical transfer and process development, small scale production and large industrial scale manufacturing. These two units are operated in ISO 7 classification for OEB 4 and OEB 5 compounds and are regularly inspected by Health Authorities, including FDA,EMA & PMDA.

All the production lines are equipped with the latest technologies in isolators, glove boxes, vessels and drying equipment. Machinery is fully or partially segregated with air control systems satisfying the most stringent requirements for product and personnel protection.

Our volume range is 5 - 1 000 L reactors in stainless steel, hastelloy and glass-lined for a total of 39 reactors (total volume of 10 m3). Upon request, we provide milling and micronization services for HAP in ISO 7 room. The total staff is nearly 80, working in one or two shifts. Highly trained personnel are recognized for their ability to work meticulously and safely in contained environment.
