Molecular Profiles Expands Technology With GMP Hot Melt Extrusion
11:00 08.04.14

PR Newswire

NOTTINGHAM, England, April 8, 2014

NOTTINGHAM, England, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Molecular Profiles Ltd., a subsidiary of Columbia Laboratories, Inc., (Nasdaq: CBRX) has completed a significant investment into additional equipment as part of a wider project focusing on enabling technologies that facilitate processing of difficult-to-progress molecules.

The UK-based pharmaceutical development and manufacturing services provider has invested in GMP hot melt extrusion (HME) technology along with further milling equipment, enabling the Company to accelerate formulation development for its clients.

Dr Rob Harris, chief technical officer at Molecular Profiles, said: "Over the years, our company has gained a strong reputation in advanced characterisation, formulation development and dealing with complex molecules. We have been working in this space for nearly a decade, bringing a high level of understanding to, for instance, the stability and failings that occur in HME.

"Expanding our in-house equipment is all about complementing this expertise by bringing on-stream an even more diverse range of enabling technologies to assist clients in developing challenging compounds.

"Supported by our world-class suite of processing and characterisation tools, our new Enabling Technologies Division forms the backbone of our early formulation development services. Utilising a science-led approach, this team is primarily focused on screening formulation options for challenging molecules,  quickly developing effective formulations, and finding solutions to our clients' product development requirements," added Dr Harris.

This is the latest significant venture for Molecular Profiles, which opened its new clinical production site last July following a successful inspection from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Dovetailing with its development capabilities, the organisation manufactures a range of dosage forms for clinical trials spanning solids, liquids, semi-solids and inhaled products, including potent compounds.

Extending both its GMP and development equipment further strengthens the Company's ability to formulate a broader range of dosage forms which are able to deliver the drug substance more effectively.

The Company recently hosted a high-profile two-day conference focused on overcoming biological barriers in drug development.  The event was attended by dozens of pharmaceutical executives, scientists and leading academics from across the globe.

NOTTINGHAM, England, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Molecular Profiles Ltd., a subsidiary of Columbia Laboratories, Inc., (Nasdaq: CBRX), is set to increase awareness and uptake of its pharmaceutical development services in the North American market following the appointment of a new head of US sales.

The development and manufacturing services provider, which has a well-established track record for meeting objectives while tightening development timelines for its clients, has hired Charles D. Maher to expand its client base in the US.

Mr Maher brings extensive senior commercial experience in the global contract services market to this newly-created position.

The organisation recently created a new enabling technologies team and invested in GMP hot melt extrusion (HME) technology to further enhance its expertise in the processing of difficult-to-progress molecules.  Leveraging the location of its Boston-based parent company, Molecular Profiles expects its advanced knowledge in characterisation and dealing with complex molecules will resonate with many US firms.

Dr Nikin Patel, chief executive officer at Molecular Profiles, said: "Over the years, we have built a solid reputation in Europe for applying a science driven approach to our clients' development challenges in a cost-effective manner that delivers value by accelerating development. We are now striding toward executing our strategy to replicate this success in the United States.

"I am delighted to welcome Charles to the company. His extensive knowledge of the market, experience and strong industry contacts should benefit our efforts to capitalize on our state-of-the-art facility, manufacturing capabilities and growing suite of enabling technologies among pharmaceutical and biotech companies."

"Building our business in the US brings us closer to our current US-based customers and improves our service to them, while supporting our on-going initiative to expand our pharmaceutical development services client base."

Mr Maher has held senior roles in the sector and most recently was Vice President of Business Global Development/ USA and Europe for an international pharmaceutical R&D services company.

Along with its development capabilities, Molecular Profiles manufactures a range of dosage forms for clinical trials spanning solids, liquids, semi-solids and inhaled products, including potent compounds, from its MHRA-licensed site.

Columbia Laboratories' Subsidiary, Molecular Profiles, Strikes Alliance With Xenogesis
13:05 31.07.14

PR Newswire

BOSTON and NOTTINGHAM, England, July 31, 2014

BOSTON and NOTTINGHAM, England, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRX) today announced that its subsidiary, Molecular Profiles Ltd., and XenoGesis Ltd., have announced a collaboration that will support pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers during the pre-clinical and formulation development stage.  Molecular Profiles' pharmaceutical development services will be supported by XenoGesis' expertise in preclinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) to give clients a smarter route into formulation development and a better understanding of a compound's bioavailability.  This strategic alliance will allow the Nottingham-based companies to help drug developers in the initial design and selection of compounds for key DMPK and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination) studies, as well as supporting lead candidates which have solubility issues during formulation development.

"We are very pleased to have struck this collaboration with the team at XenoGesis," said Frank Condella, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Laboratories. "We have complementary service offerings which allow us to apply a science-driven, collective approach to overcome the complexities of challenging molecules. It also adds a vital pK service to our enabling technologies package.

"For us, this will build-upon the very successful drug development alliances we already have in place. We can now seamlessly offer a comprehensive service from initial drug discovery through to clinical supplies with best-in-class companies," concluded Mr. Condella.

XenoGesis was founded by its managing director, Richard Weaver Ph.D., after a 15-year career at AstraZeneca. The company specializes in studying research compounds from a chemical and biological perspective to inform clients on how they will behave in the body.

Dr. Weaver commented, "Combining our skills in DMPK with the chemical knowledge at Molecular Profiles will provide a solid platform to support clients.  We will be able to give them a better understanding of their compounds during pre-clinical work, which in turn, will reduce cost and provide a quicker route to market."

Working with leading drug development companies across the world, Columbia Laboratories' Molecular Profiles subsidiary specializes in advanced characterisation, pharmaceutical product development, clinical trials manufacturing and analytical support.  The company recently created a new enabling technologies team and invested in GMP hot melt extrusion (HME) technology at its clinical manufacturing facility to further enhance its expertise in the processing of difficult-to-progress molecules.

Alongside its development capabilities, its MHRA-licensed site enables the company to manufacture a range of dosage forms for clinical trials spanning solids, liquids, semi-solids and inhaled products, including potent compounds and controlled drugs.
