Atlantis produces intermediate taxane ingredients, paclitaxel and 10-deacetylbaccatin
III (10-DAB), for subsequent formulation and synthetic modification by biopharmaceutical
companies and developers of cancer treatments. We combine extensive commercial-scale
manufacturing expertise with proprietary process technologies to deliver quality
ingredients to the standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
Ground hemlock (Taxus canadensis) is a small, relatively slow growing evergreen
shrub which grows abundantly in the pristine woodlands of Eastern Canada. Newer
foliage of needles and green stems are collected for the extraction of paclitaxel,
a compound used to treat various cancers. Located in the center of the
high-yielding Taxus canadensis biomass resource, Atlantis employs commercial-scale
manufacturing expertise to extract and purify pharmaceutical-grade taxanes. Taxanes
derived from Taxus canadensis originate from sustainably managed sources
with stringent regulatory practices ensuring that all Taxus biomass is
inspected, responsible harvest guidelines have been followed and raw material
is traceable from place of origin through to finished product. Our close proximity
to secured biomass, strong technical and R&D support enable a dependable steady
flow of high-purity ingredients to pharmaceutical manufacturers. |  |  |
