KeyIntermediates

Intermediates Intelligence, Reimagined

The world’s most structured platform for pharmaceutical intermediates and Key Starting Materials (KSMs).

Why KeyIntermediates ?

KeyIntermediates is purpose-built for pharmaceutical intermediates and KSMs

With global supplier visibility, regulatory context, and structured, searchable datasets, we empower you to trace, plan, and source — all API-free.

Built for Pharmaceutical Intermediates

Every dataset is curated to focus solely on intermediates and KSMs relevant to pharma — no noise, no distractions.

Upstream Visibility

Trace molecules from synthesis routes to verified sources, with clarity on grade, use, and production linkage.

Global Supplier Intelligence

Access active exporters, manufacturers, and trade movements across India, China, Europe, and beyond.

Structured & Searchable

Navigate thousands of compounds through filters like synthesis stage, therapeutic linkage, and compound type.

Regulatory Context Where It Matters

Where available, see REACH, EDQM, CEP, or other regulatory tags mapped to intermediates and their suppliers.

API-Free Mapping

Explore intermediates independently of APIs — focused on raw materials, process planning, and upstream decision-making.

FAQs

Everything You Need to Know

A KSM is a critical chemical compound required to begin the synthesis of an API, often mentioned in regulatory filings and linked to quality, cost, and reliability of drug manufacturing.

Unlike general-purpose chemical platforms, we focus exclusively on intermediates relevant to the pharmaceutical industry — with curated classifications and end-use linkages.

Yes. Wherever available, we list verified suppliers, exporters, and global trade movement of intermediates and KSMs.

Absolutely. You can trace intermediates backward from APIs and filter by therapeutic area, use-case, or synthesis step.

Yes. We update monthly and continuously expand our compound profiles and supplier network based on trade data and research inputs.
