WILLOW ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF R&D PROGRAM ON COST-EFFECTIVE, SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED UDCA
Through this partnered program with Sandhill One, LLC ("Sandhill"), Willow has now optimized a proprietary enzyme vital to the development of UDCA while solving for selective C-H hydroxylation at industrial scale - often referred to as one of the "Holy Grails" of chemistry.
- Through this partnered program with Sandhill One, LLC ("Sandhill"), Willow has now optimized a proprietary enzyme vital to the development of UDCA while solving for selective C-H hydroxylation at industrial scale - often referred to as one of the "Holy Grails" of chemistry.
- This breakthrough was made possible by Willow's BioOxi technology, and we believe marks the first example of commercially relevant productivities with this class of enzyme.
- This successful outcome further illustrates that the BioOxi platform is broadly applicable to the manufacturing of intermediates and APIs, particularly steroid APIs.
- With R&D now complete, Willow anticipates receiving milestone payments and revenue upon commercialization by Sandhill.
