Bachem says oligos can act on drug targets that are not accessible with small-molecule or biologic drugs.

Bachem and Eli Lilly and Company have formed a collaboration aimed at developing and manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) based on oligonucleotides. Under the terms of the agreement, Bachem will provide R&D services and manufacture APIs at its plant in Bubendorf, Switzerland, using Lilly’s oligonucleotide technology. The 7-year deal has the potential to net Bachem about $100 million per year.
