ASM Research Chemicals

ASM Research Chemicals is a German contract research, development, and manufacturing services company focused primarily on organic synthesis and active pharmaceutical ingredient development. The company supports pharmaceutical and chemical customers with process development, route scouting and optimization, analytical development and testing, formulation support, impurity and metabolite work, and non-GMP to early scale-up manufacturing services. It has also marketed a standardized development service called DevPack for API manufacturing, designed to generate process, analytical, and safety datasets to accelerate transfer into GMP scale-up. The business appears to operate as a commercial service provider rather than a therapeutic drug developer, with activity centered on small-molecule chemistry and outsourced R&D/manufacturing support. Available deal data indicates the company was acquired by C-squared PHARMA in October 2017 but continues to be referenced in industry directories under the ASM Research Chemicals name.
