At Acco Chem, we specialize in fluorine chemistry, harnessing the unique properties of fluorine—its small size, lipophilicity, and strong electron-withdrawing ability—to address critical challenges in medicinal chemistry, such as poor permeability, low metabolic stability, and hERG inhibition. These characteristics make fluorine a powerful tool in drug discovery, contributing to the development of more effective, targeted, and stable compounds. As a result, fluorine is a key component in the chemical structures of many approved drugs and clinical candidates.

However, introducing fluorine into a molecule can be complex, as it often involves highly reactive fluorinated reagents and requires carefully controlled reaction conditions. To overcome these challenges, we have developed robust methodologies that enable the efficient synthesis of diverse fluorinated building blocks. Our expertise in selective fluorination techniques, fluorine-18 labeling for PET imaging, and the synthesis of fluorinated intermediates positions us to provide innovative solutions for our clients' drug discovery needs.

In addition, we offer custom synthesis services tailored to the unique requirements of each project, specializing in the synthesis of specific fluorinated structures and tackling complex fluorination challenges. Whether optimizing existing drug candidates or developing novel fluorine-containing compounds, our team is equipped to deliver precise, scalable solutions that drive innovation in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development.
