Sustine® 320
Sustine® 320 is a catalase that decomposes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen gas (O2) and water (H2O), thus making this biocatalyst instrumental for a safe and sustainable manufacturing process. Sustine® 320 has a food grade certification, which implies milder formulation ingredients.
Sustine® 320 is already being used in a number of commercial active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and their intermediates, such as:
- Paxlovid (specifically, for the synthesis of Nirmatrelvir for amine oxidative desymmetryzation)
- Boceprevir (similar synthesis to Nirmatrelvir)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Novozymes does not promote or support the use of enzymes as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) or excipients. Novozymes enzymes are industrial bulk products and are not produced according to pharmaceutical standards. Novozymes does not analyze all impurities and/or carry over in the enzyme product. If enzymes are used as process aids, it is the responsibility of the API or excipient manufacturer to assure that the enzymes are suitable for the intended use, including but not limited to evaluation of purity and absence of carry over in final API or excipient product.
This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations
