Pfanstiehl

Pfanstiehl provides parenteral-grade excipients and highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in accordance with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines.

The company develops high-purity, low-endotoxin (HPLE) carbohydrates such as trehalose, sucrose, mannitol, galactose, maltose and mannose for use as injectable excipients for the stabilisation of proteins, monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and vaccines.

Pfanstiehl’s HPLEs are used as supplements for industrial cell culture, cell therapy and cryopreservation media.

CDMO manufacturer of injectable excipients

Pfanstiehl works closely with many of the world’s largest multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms, as well as virtual pharmaceutical companies.

It synthesises proprietary and commercial compounds in both large and small quantities.

Pfanstiehl has a 40-year history in custom synthesis, manufacturing and process scale-up development.

Novel formulation development for APIs

Pfanstiehl provides high-quality plug-and-play solutions to biosimilar and pharmaceutical firms worldwide. It provides custom synthesis of new chemical entities (NCE), speciality carbohydrates and injectable-quality, cGMP pharmaceutical ingredients in commercial quantities.

The company’s capabilities include process scale-up, development and process validation, according to cGMP guidelines. Its facilities and equipment are configured to produce HPLE compounds, including potent (highly active toxic or cytotoxic) drugs under cGMP conditions.

As a long-time manufacturer of low-endotoxin carbohydrates, injectable-grade excipients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and pharmaceutical intermediates, Pfanstiehl can establish and maintain US and European drug master files (DMF) and European Certificates of Suitability.

Galactose (NAD)

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar of the hexose class that is a constituent of lactose and many polysaccharides.

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar of the hexose class that is a constituent of lactose and many polysaccharides. It is found in milk, sugar beets, gums, and mucilages. It is also synthesized in humans, and is a constituent of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Galactose is finding an ever-increasing use as a cell metabolism modulator in the…

Mannitol

Mannitol is classified as a sugar alcohol and is derived from a sugar (mannose) by reduction. Other widely known polyols are xylitol and sorbitol.

Mannitol is classified as a sugar alcohol and is derived from a sugar (mannose) by reduction. Other widely known polyols are xylitol and sorbitol. Mannitol and sorbitol are isomers, differing only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon two. The physical properties of mannitol make it suitable for use as a bulking agent…
