deCODE chemistry Initiates Chemical Development Collaboration with PolyMedix Inc. for Multiple Pre-clinical Candidates

deCODE chemistry has initiated a new chemical development service collaboration with PolyMedix, Inc. (www.polymedix.com). Under the terms of the collaboration, deCODE’s process chemistry team will develop scalable synthetic routes for a number of products in PolyMedix’s pre-clinical pipeline. Following optimization of these production routes, deCODE will prepare larger-scale quantities of the compounds for pre-clinical development activities. These research activities build upon a successful process research program that was conducted by deCODE for PolyMedix under an earlier collaboration.
