During the recent past, there has been increasingly rapid global expansion in peptide associated research and development enabling a growing synergy between peptide manufacturers and the widest spectra of science. Whilst being acknowledged for many years, the areas of peptide therapeutics are only lately acquiring their deserved importance and with the escalating demand for original therapeutic strategies allied to peptides and their undoubted potential, many markets are being propelled into new and exciting growth arenas – with none more so than the fields of medicine.
In 2004, the world market in therapeutic peptides had a value of over one billion US Dollars and is fully expected to almost double in size by 2010 with Europe accounting for some 30% and the US for perhaps twice that figure.
Throughout its history, Andard-Mount has held an important position in the commercialisation of pharmaceutical endeavours and with the co-operation of its peptide manufacturing associates, we fully anticipate maintaining and expanding on the supply and technical services required by our international clientele. Recent studies have illuminated original challenges and avenues in the interpretation and understanding of peptide self-assembly at the molecular level; subsequently it has been successfully demonstrated that peptides could function in numerous ways and so engineer a variety of complex structures – e.g. molecular electronics, tissue mechanics and drug delivery. Peptides enjoy enormous potential for the ‘bottom up’ approach due to low cost, simplicity and the ability for their ready transformation with biological and chemical elements. We are ready to assist with your aims and interests and welcome your enquiries – many non-technological applications wait.

The idea of making Powdered Alcohol from aqua-alcoholic solution (liquor) was developed and implemented by our colleagues Sato Food who have been expert in the manufacture of natural seasonings in Japan for a long time.
As of May 1981, the Japanese Government officially approved Powdered Alcohol as "Liquor", taxable under the Alcohol Tax Law. It falls under the Miscellaneous Liquor category and the name Powdered Alcohol was registered in law.
The patented process eliminates only water from the liquor and its alcohol content and delicate aroma and taste are effectively encapsulated into the powder, dramatically changing its functions and greatly enlarging possible application areas. . . . read more
REBAUDIOSIDE A
REBAUDIOSIDE A, [CAS 58543-16-1] is the more potent and most pleasant tasting of the two major principles obtained from the STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES, sweeteners extracted from the leaves of the indigenous Paraguayan plant Stevia Rebaudiana and used for centuries by the inhabitants of that Latin American country. STEVIOSIDE, as it has been generically known and widely accepted now holds a dominant position over sugar after more than thirty years of use in Japan. . . . read more
RIBAVIRIN
RIBAVIRIN, [CAS 36791-04-5] is an anti-viral medication of choice and is one of a number of nucleoside anti-metabolite compounds obstructing the copying of viral genetic matter. It is outstanding in its broad range of activity which includes viral hemorrhagic fevers – for which it is the only known treatment, flaviviruses and influenzas. . . . read more
COLCHICINE
COLCHICINE, [CAS 64-86-8], extracted from colchicum autumnale –autumn crocus- for many years has been the product of choice in the treatment of rheumatic disorders and especially gout. It has been widely prescribed for its emetic and cathartic action and a major use is for the treatment of familial Mediterranean fever. . . . read more
GONADOTROPHINS
GONADOTROPHINS which we supply in the forms of Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), Human Menopausal Hormone (Menotropin), (hMG) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Since the early 1960’s and from the 1st. International Conference on the subject, Andard-Mount, with its engagement in protein chemistry, has recognised the ongoing importance of the Gonadotrophic. . . . read more
