Our Story
“Welcome to APS Pharma., a tenacious innovation driven company specializing in simplifying preclinical and early clinical drug development. Established in 2021 in the suburban Toronto metropolitan area by industry professionals with a proven track record of successful introduction of new molecular entities into pre-clinical and clinical lifecycle phases. Our founders envisioned a company focused on customized synthetic and process chemistry solutions and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) manufacturing.”
Propelled by Success
Propelled by our past successes and growth, and with a desire to focus on custom synthesis requests and GMP manufacturing, company founders expanded our service offering with the decision, in 2021, to form a new company, Acanthus Pharma Services Inc. As a CDMO, we are focused on preclinical and early clinical drug development. Our mission is to provide tailored products and services that match your needs. Our strategy is to partner with and help you accelerate your internal programs into the clinical arena or towards your next clinical milestone.
Fortitude + Confidence x Acceleration = Success
Synthesizing Success One Molecule at a Time
The key word that we base our activities on is "custom". We consider it our responsibility as a company to commit to your requirements and support the bigger picture you have envisioned for your molecules. We do not force you to conform to our standard product offering, instead we conform to your requests.
