Synthesis of 14C Radiolabeled API to GMP

The synthesis of 14C-radiolabeled active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) plays a critical role in drug development and regulatory approval. By enabling precise tracking of drug metabolism, absorption, distribution, and excretion, 14C-labeled APIs facilitate detailed pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies. However, these studies require 14C-labeled APIs synthesized under stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure safety, efficacy, and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Alfa Chemistry specializes in synthesizing and providing high-quality 14C-radiolabeled APIs tailored to meet the specific requirements of drug development studies. All processes are conducted in accordance with EMEA regulations and the recent FDA Phase I GMP guidance (ICH Q7A Section 19: Single batches for investigational drugs).

Our Services

We offer specialized services for the synthesis and release of 14C-radiolabeled APIs for Phase I, mass balance, and microdosing studies (Phase 0 and enhanced Phase I). Our suite of services includes:

GMP-Compliant Synthesis: We can synthesize 14C-radiolabeled APIs for both bulk quantities and customized quantities in accordance with GMP standards, catering to the specific needs of different study protocols.
