Experts in Metabolite
Synthesis, Purification and Natural Products
Supporting pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies globally
Your trusted partner in pharmaceutical and agrochemical R&D
What we do
Hypha Discovery is a specialist CRO supporting pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies worldwide through the production of metabolites and late-stage derivatives of drugs and agrochemicals in discovery and development.
We are experts in the scalable synthesis, purification and identification of drug metabolites and oxidised derivatives of lead compounds, and also possess a wealth of experience in the production, purification and structure elucidation of natural products.
NMR Spectroscopy and Structure Elucidation
NMR Spectroscopy and Structure Elucidation
• Quantitative NMR
• Interpretation and documentation of spectra
Solutions for metabolite synthesis
Hypha Discovery offer a comprehensive suite of techniques for provision of even the most difficult-to-synthesise metabolite, comprising chemical synthesis, recombinant enzymes such as PolyCYPs, microbial biotransformation, mammalian liver fractions as well as the purification of metabolites from biological matrices. We are also experts in the structure elucidation of metabolites by NMR spectroscopy
Chemical Synthesis
Late-stage chemical glucuronidation
Mammalian biotransformation
Panels of liver S9s / microsomes
Microbial biotransformation
Proven panels of bacteria and fungi
Purification & structure elucidation
COAs, acquisition / interpretation of NMR data
Recombinant enzymes
PolyCYPs, hrCYPs, AOX, FMOs
PolyCYPs kits
PolyCYPs+ screening kits comprise 18 PolyCYP isoforms together with the addition of other phase 1 enzymes. Human aldehyde oxidase (AOX1) and the main human hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO3) are included in the kit, with the other human FMO isoforms, available separately at Hypha.
Inclusion of multiple PolyCYPs isoforms broadens coverage of reactions, and which have been proven to produce human and other mammalian CYP-derived metabolites including multi-step metabolites and metabolites of low turnover drugs.
Simple, Effective, Scalable
Produce CYP, AOX & FMO metabolites
Generate multiple hydroxylated and other oxidised derivatives of lead compounds in parallel
