Understanding the peptide supply chain helps contextualize quality concerns, pricing, and regulatory requirements. This article maps the key stages from raw materials to finished product.
The building blocks of solid-phase peptide synthesis. Major suppliers include companies in China, India, Japan, and Europe. Supply chain disruptions in amino acid production have historically impacted peptide manufacturing timelines.
Solid supports for SPPS. Wang resin, Rink amide resin, and chlorotrityl resins are commonly used. Resin quality directly affects synthesis efficiency.
Coupling reagents (HATU, HBTU, DIC), deprotection reagents (piperidine), cleavage reagents (TFA), and solvents (DMF, NMP, DCM) are consumed in large quantities.
