Testimonials
Driving innovation in drug discovery and process R&D, offering expert chemistry solutions and seamless support throughout.
Odyssey Therapeutics and SpiroChem collaborated on the synthesis of complex molecules and chemical libraries. The SpiroChem team was highly engaged as we defined the scope and aims of the work. SpiroChem worked quickly to evaluate multiple chemistries in parallel. Together, we defined the most productive and impactful path forward, executing on state-of-the-art, challenging synthetic transformations then quickly converting the results to library production. Our collaboration proceeded smoothly as SpiroChem scientists were model collaborators who communicated promptly, provided very efficient logistics, and exhibited a true can-do spirit. It was a pleasure to work with the SpiroChem team and we look forward to future work together.

“The SpiroChem team is an outstanding partner for NBE-Therapeutics for finding and optimizing complex synthesis routes for our linker-payloads. SpiroChem’s Team member’s ingenuity, efficiency and proactive attitude was key in finding novel avenues for synthesizing highly complex and also highly cytotoxic small molecules. Due to the close interactions between our teams, it feels like SpiroChem’s team is part of NBE.”

"SpiroChem's expertise in synthetic chemistry, combined with their sense of urgency, make them an ideal partner for exploring new chemical space. Our critical collaboration on bicycloalkyl bioisosteres was published on ChemMedChem 2017 12 590. I have to highlight the ease of communication and the proactive role of SpiroChem, which we regularly experienced in our interactions. They are brilliant to work with, bother for standard synthesis or more demanding customized building blocks and I would recommend their services to any company seeking pragmatic, cutting-edge solutions."

Dr. Yves P. Auberson, executive director, Global Discovery Chemistry, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research and president of EEMC.

"It is with great joy that I am recommending SpiroChem based on the excellent job they did for us; Their high flexibility and reactivity to our fast-changing requests were outstanding. Furthermore, SpiroChem's excellent synthetic expertise enabled access to a key API, which we tested and proved to be the basis for the IP of a complete class of substances. Last but not least, I want to emphasize the outstanding and the fast delivery of the very detailed and precise final report with all the analytical documentation included.”

“We partnered with SpiroChem as part of a pilot structure-based drug design and medicinal chemistry campaign. The outcome was very successful! Despite time, budget and even technical constraints, the SpiroChem team promptly addressed our difficulties providing innovative and unexplored chemical solutions. We were able to design improved compounds, better understand the chemical biology of our project, and lay the foundation for further development campaigns. The SpiroChem Chemistry team has closely supported us through the entire process providing ideas and detailed clarification of the strategies undertaken. A great partnership that I am sure to be continued!”
