deCODE chemistry has initiated a new chemical development service collaboration with SGX Pharmaceuticals (www.sgxpharma.com). The research performed by deCODE chemistry is aimed at developing and executing a scalable production process for SGX. Under this collaboration SGX will gain access to deCODE’s platform for efficient chemical development including route optimization, production of toxicology lots, cGMP production of clinical batches, physical form characterization, and all associated analytical method development and validation.
