SYNTHETIC HEPARINOÏDS 200 CHEMICAL STEPS DEVELOPED 20 YEARS EXPERTISE OLIGOSACCHARIDES WORLDWIDE LEADER Sanofi has been involved in oligosaccharide chemistry since the 90 s and is recognized as a worldwide leader in API manufacturing in this field. Amongst this family of very active anti-thrombotic derivatives, Sanofi developed and marketed semisynthetic or fully synthetic heparinoïds. For the fully synthetic oligosaccharides, Sanofi has developed complex molecules which manufacture requires a high number of chemical steps (up to 80 chemical steps). For the projects, we develop a synergetic approach using a common building-blocks strategy based on our worldwide industrial network. Main advantages: Minimize the number of chemical intermediates Reduce lead time Increase security of supply Optimize cost of goods.
More than 200 chemical steps have been developed by our teams and more than 100 experts have been involved to ensure a high level of performance on this very specific chemistry being able to manage even at production scale: Activation of oligosaccharides throughout trichloroacetimidates, thioglycosides Coupling reactions (glycosylations): - stereoselective & stereospecific reactions - low temperature (down to -50 C at production scale) - anhydrous conditions (water contents below 10 ppm) Orthogonal protection/deprotection strategy Specific expertises in: - azidation - hydrazine handling In addition, our analytical department fully supports these development activities with: Chromatography techniques (HPLC, GC, IC, CE) with specific detection for molecules without UV absorption Mass spectrometry (Q-TOF, TOF, Ion-trap) and NMR (500 MHz and 300 MHz) to elucidate very complex chemical structures
TOOLS - FACILITIES Laboratories for oligosaccharide synthesis and analysis Kilolab facilities for production of small scale batches to support phase I to phase III clinical studies Kiloprep facilities for normal, reverse phase chromatography: Prochrom systems (50 to 300 mm) Pilot plant and production facilities: from 50 L to 6 000 L Ion exchange dedicated purification facilities from grams to kilograms of APIs CONTACTS OLIGOSACCHARIDES Europe: mourad.saady@sanofi.com USA: bob.huang@sanofi.com Japan: hikaru.ohsawa@sanofi.com

OEB 5 COMPOUNDS OUTSTANDING FACILITIES ISO 7 CLASSIFICATION HIGHLY ACTIVE PRODUCTS HIGHLY SKILLED TEAMS CEPiA offers to customers to have their Highly Active Product (HAP) projects handled by the same experts who developed and manufacture the two marketed drugs: Docetaxel (Taxotere ) and Cabazitaxel (Jevtana )
Our high level of expertise acquired through solid and long lasting experience in handling cytotoxic compounds is strongly set on five principles: Extensive knowledge in Chemistry State-of-the-art facilities Highly trained team Environment, Health and Safety experts High standards in quality We are committed to sharing our scientific knowledge and experience in pharmacology and toxicology to support your project. Our internal team of experts in industrial hygiene can assess OEB* categorization for APIs and upstream intermediates only when necessary to minimize costs. We apply the OEB* index from 1 to 5 relative to the product toxicity. OEB* index corresponds to an OEL** range (see the following table). OEB* OEL** Range (µg/m 3 ) OEB 1 1 000-5 000 OEB 2 100-1 000 OEB 3 10-100 OEB 4 1-10 OEB 5 < 1 In addition, Sanofi has the highly specialized ability to handle HAPs with a single-digit nanogram/m 3 exposure limit. We have qualified several of our isolators to satisfy recent requirements. *OEB: Occupational Exposure Band **OEL: Occupational Exposure Limit
Our facilities for highly active compounds manufacturing are located near Paris (France), operated under cgmp procedures and are governed by Sanofi Quality Control. On the same site, two production units are suitable for technical transfer and process development, small scale production and large industrial scale manufacturing. These two units are operated in ISO 7 classification for OEB 4 and OEB 5 compounds and are regularly inspected by Health Authorities, including FDA, EMA & PMDA. All the production lines are equipped with the latest technologies in isolators, glove boxes, vessels and drying equipment. Machinery is fully or partially segregated with air control systems satisfying the most stringent requirements for product and personnel protection. Our volume range is 5-1 000 L reactors in stainless steel, hastelloy and glass-lined for a total of 39 reactors (total volume of 10 m 3 ). Upon request, we provide milling and micronization services for HAP in ISO 7 room. The total staff is nearly 80, working in one or two shifts. Highly trained personnel are recognized for their ability to work meticulously and safely in contained environment.
