 CEO PRESENTATION Dearest customers, suppliers, partners and friends, Jaume Mir Founder and CEO of Biochemize S.L.
It looks short in time, but next December we will proudly say that we built this company three years ago. Walking wisely due to the global crisis we are all immersed, but with the greatest illusion to make true the challenge of growing up and strengthening, step by step, in Biochemize we try, through giving value propositions to our customers, to implement industrial bioprocesses that we develop –alongside with our network of scientific partners‐ and whose responsibility make us be gladly proud of being permanently on the edge of the techno‐scientific platform we operate. This is an enterprise which allows us to contribute in the development of a more sustainable society. Conscious of the need of increase our visibility, we finally have edited the first version of our catalog, where we show the services we offer, the biocatalytic reactions we have developed during this time and the collection of enzymes and microorganisms we have stored. Despite we have a long path in front of us, we could not have been able to be here without the trust –and also patience‐ of our customers, as well as our partners’, whose generosity makes them share their knowledge with us, in the aim of gathering these services for the wealth of the chemical and pharmaceutical companies we serve, in order to help them to achieve the needed technology to make them more competitive. We also have to be grateful with the Public Administrations for the trust they have in our work, feeding some of the research projects we are involved now (ten European projects and one national) to consolidate our own technical platform. This catalog we present here is a first edition –more will come in time‐ of the possibilities we offer in the industrial development and implementation of several bioprocesses (using enzymes and microorganisms), where we already have a consolidated experience. We hope this catalog will be a useful tool –alongside with the rest of the documents you can download directly from our web (www.biochemize.com )‐ for our customers, as well as for the rest of companies of the sector which are interested in a first contact with biocatalysis. Any question about biocatalysis and its industrial application, please do not doubt to contact us. Sincerely yours, Jaume Mir Martínez, CEO of Biochemize S.L. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

INTRODUCTION Biochemize S.L. is a biotechnological company focused in the design and development of processes based on biocatalysis. Our technological platform lies in the use of enzymes or microorganisms to perform chemical reactions able to substitute manufacturing processes based on classical organic chemistry. 2. LOCATION We are located in Barcelona (Spain). Our laboratory work takes place in the Technology Centres of our strategic partners: CSIC‐IQAC: Spanish Council for Scientific Research – Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia IQS: Institut Químic de Sarrià We have our headquarters facilities and business administration office in the Fòrum Nord de la Tecnologia at BCNactiva.

OUR TECHNOLOGY Biochemize S.L. develops bioprocesses using biocatalysts (enzymes or microorganisms) in single or multiple transformation steps. Our technological platform P2B (Platform to Biochemize) is capable to perform high throughput screening of biocatalysts, reaction conditions, suitable substrates and products obtained. The screening can be done in a short period of time and renders information about different possible bioprocesses and conditions that could be further developed at a larger scale. 6 4. PLATTFORM TO BIIOCHEMIZE ((P2B) P2B is the key to determine
e quickly wiith low risk and at very
y small scalle if a conce
eptual biotraansformation is technolo
ogically viabl e. Oncee the succeeeding biocattalysts or bbioprocesses have been
n identified, Biochemize

which can lead to the higghest yields. Two aapproaches can be follow

mical entitiess 5.1. Technical Assesssments and Consulting
We offer theoretical evalu
uations and consulting to verify the feasibilitty of substituting cheemical syntheetic processe
es by biotechhnology. (Exp
perimental w
work is also ppossible) 7 The assessments include estimations of yields, engineering needs, costs, risks, regulatory aspects, etc. Biochemize S.L. has a worldwide network of contacts: suppliers of biocatalysts, manufacturers, analytical services, researcher, advisors, etc. We offer consulting and contact extension possibilities to customers through our own network. 5.2. Development of biotechnology processes Substitution of processes based on synthetic organic chemistry by biotechnology. A Bioprocess can be more efficient, costs saving or less contaminant A Bioprocess can be highly selective. Sometimes allows reducing synthetic pathways (e.g. protection/deprotection steps)
The development ranges from theoretical design to industrial scale‐up and implementation. This latter phase is carried out by the customer under the support and supervision of Biochemize S.L. 5.3. Obtaining of building blocks Building blocks obtained by biotechnology can be used as alternative source of reagents, starting materials and intermediates for chemical synthesis. Building blocks can help to reduce synthesis steps of current processes or skipping reagents or intermediates hazardous, unstable, or complex to be obtained. 5.4. Support in discovery of new chemical entities Synthesis of potential new chemical entities through biotechnology approaches. 8 Biocatalysts can be used to obtain new lead, lead optimization, me‐too and me‐better compounds by modification of already available structures. Strategy especially interesting for molecules of natural origin and/or complex structure. Biotechnological transformations can be applied to obtain a new molecule without complex synthetic processes or avoiding the use of synthetic reagents that can deeply change the original structure. Biochemize S.L. can perform High Throughput Screening through the P2B technology. 6. OPERATIONS Biochemize S.L. offers the most outstanding and up to date technology options, while maintaining an industrial scope. If necessary, many operations can be outsourced to other companies and research centres under our direction and supervision. We have a powerful network of contacts in biocatalysis and bioprocessing. Several partnership agreements have been established. Biochemize S.L. is able to perform many biocatalyzed transformations. Our most recent experience is based on the following processes: 6.1. Racemic resolutions Racemic resolutions are carried out by enantioselective acylation (through esterification, amidation, transamidation or transesterification; or other reagents like sulphur derivatives) upon the enantiomer mixture, using lipases as catalysts in organic media. Other types of transformations can be used for racemic resolution, such as oxidative deamination. The only must for these special cases is that the enzyme used as catalyst has enantioselectivity for the substrates to be transformed. Examples:  Arylpropionic acids with anti‐inflammatory activity: 9  Flavolignan derivatives:  Piperidine /hydroquinoline derivatives:  1‐amino‐2‐propanol derivatives: R

 Alkenyldiol derivatives:

 Hydronaphtalene derivatives by oxidative deamination:
6.2. Esterifications and amidations Esterifications and amidations are widely used reactions carried out using lipases as catalysts in organic media. These processes share the same basic technical concept as the racemic resolution, but the aim is not to separate enantiomers, but to obtain an ester or amide compound. Examples:  Glycerol and several fatty acids: 11  Polycyclic acid and polyalcohol derivatives: R

 Amidation of peptides with fatty acids:  Penicillin derivatives: 6.3. Aldolic additions Aldehyde and ketone compounds react through aldol reactions which make a new C‐C bond to be formed between the starting products. The process can be accelerated if enzymes with aldolase activity are used as catalysts. Examples:  Aldolic addition between acrolein and an alkenylketone: 12 6.4. Oxoreduction processes Also called Redox reactions. Several enzymes can be used as biocatalysts (desaturases, dehydrogenases, oxidoreductases). Examples:  Hydronaphtalene derivatives:
 Vegetable oils dehydrogenation: COOH

Examples:  ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA): 6.6. Hydrations and dehydrations The use of hydratases and dehydratases allows adding or removing a water molecule to a given structure. An alkene group is formed after dehydration or the functional group to which hydration occurs. Examples:  Fructose dehydration  Hydration of insaturated fatty acid derivatives 14 6.7. Microbial fermentation processes Biocatalytic transformations can be performed either with pure enzymes or using the enzymatic machinery of microorganism as whole cells (bacteria, fungi, yeasts). Wild type and recombinant microorganisms can be used for this purpose. Biochemize has a wide experience in fermentation processes to manufacture high value products from lab to industrial scale.Some examples are provided below:  Aminosugar derivatives: production with a genetically modified microbial strain.  Steroid derivatives: production by fermentation with a genetically modified microbial strain from sugars as galactose.  Prebiotics: by fructosyltransferase catalysis from sucrose.
