Pharma & Biopharma

Our oral drug delivery solutions are built on a six-decade legacy, marked by our flagship EUDRAGIT® polymers that cater to complex release profiles for oral solid dosage forms. These highly adaptable excipients align seamlessly with core oral drug delivery processes and are available in diverse forms to facilitate ease of handling and scalability. Our EUDRACAP® pre-locked, ready-to-fill capsules ensure precise pH targeting for the delivery of drugs to the mid-to-upper small intestine and colon.

For parenteral drug delivery, we offer an integrated portfolio of functional excipients and CDMO services. We specialize in complex formulations of both polymer and lipid-based systems. Our RESOMER® and LACTEL® bioresorbable polymers are renowned for their safety and biocompatibility, essential for extended-release parenteral applications. For lipid-based drug delivery, Evonik can support you at any stage of the drug development process from clinical through commercial quantities. We excel in lipid formulations for a diverse range of therapeutics, including nucleic acids, small molecules, peptides and proteins. Our lipid brands include the plant-derived cholesterol PhytoChol® and the plant-based squalene PhytoSquene®, which are both designed for parenteral applications.

For more than two decades, Evonik has provided comprehensive CDMO services for APIs and intermediates, including large-scale high potency APIs (HPAPIs) and multi-step complex APIs. With a robust manufacturing network, we deliver APIs, HPAPIs, and intermediates tailored to meet clinical trial needs and the largest commercial volumes. If you seek a dependable partner committed to exceptional production quality and sustainable supply, we are here to support you, no matter the size or complexity of your project.

For the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds such as APIs and intermediates, Evonik has a long history in providing catalysts and related services. Our PERSYNT® portfolio ensures efficiency and precision in compound synthesis. The Metalyst® series of activated metal catalysts play a vital role in hydrogenation reactions, essential for producing various pharmaceuticals. Additionally, Noblyst® P Catalysts are effective for protection group removal during synthesis. Our CHROMATOCEL® chromatographic media gels are specifically designed to eliminate impurities in organic solvents, ensuring the highest purity and quality in the final pharmaceutical products.

Evonik uses biotechnology in the form of fermentative and biocatalytic production processes to manufacture highly pure amino acids, probiotics, dietary supplements and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Our innovative cell culture solutions are tailored to meet the needs of biopharma companies worldwide, boosting cell culture performance and streamlining the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. Our cQrex® portfolio of peptides, our plant-based cholesterol PhytoChol® and other cell culture media ingredients, empower partners across the entire value chain to successfully and swiftly bring their biologics and cell and gene therapies to market.
