Iris Biotech Laboratories GmbH

Iris Biotech Laboratories GmbH is a chemical research and development company with extensive expertise in the synthesis and development of novel amino acids, unusual chiral building blocks, and advanced polymers, including PEG derivatives, polyamino acids, poly(2-oxazolines), and related chemical compounds. We develop customized solutions such as linkers for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), building blocks for peptidomimetics, novel biomarkers, protecting groups for a wide range of applications, and stimuli-responsive polymers.

Our facility is located in the Willstätt Industrial Park, close to the German-French border. The site’s strategic location provides immediate access to key suppliers, including solvent recycling companies and providers of essential manufacturing materials, enabling us to respond quickly and cost-effectively to even the most specialized customer requests.

Core Technologies and Services

The following overview highlights some of our key areas of expertise:

Unusual amino acids, including homo-, β²-, β³-, and γ-amino acids, α- and β-derivatized amino acids, β,β-dimethylated compounds, γ,γ-difluorinated derivatives, trifluoromethylated amino acids, photoswitchable amino acids, phosphono amino acids, as well as β-sulfur- and β-selenium-containing amino acids.
Custom synthesis of molecules containing one or more stereocenters.
Maillard and Amadori reaction products, which serve both as indicators of food quality and as biomarkers for lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes.
Custom-designed (peptide) linkers for use in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
Novel biotinylation technologies.
Physiologically compatible fluorescent dyes (e.g., ICG) and corresponding labeled compounds for analytical, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications, including their conjugation to peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules.
Innovative protecting groups for cysteine and other amino acids.
Third-generation click chemistry technologies, including related linkers and conjugates.
Polyamines.
Functionalization and derivatization of PEGs, polyamino acids, and poly(2-oxazolines).
