Ambinter

What Ambinter does

Ambinter is a French chemical compound supplier and cheminformatics provider for early-stage drug discovery, operating as a brand of Greenpharma SAS since its acquisition on July 1, 2011. The company is headquartered at 3 allée du Titane, Orléans, and serves pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, agrochemical, and chemical industry buyers worldwide, with academic research institutions as a secondary segment. Its commercial core is a catalog of over 46 million real compounds for high-throughput screening, building blocks, fragments, and natural products, supplemented by the AMBrosia ultra-large virtual chemical space — a partnership with BioSolveIT containing approximately 126 billion synthetically accessible drug-like compounds accessible via Chemical Space Docking and the infiniSee platform.

The technology stack combines the 46-million-compound catalog and the AMBrosia virtual space with an in-house analytical chemistry platform (NMR, LC/MS, HPLC, elemental analysis) for QC, cheminformatics and molecular modeling services (QSAR, docking, virtual screening, SAR analysis, customized library design, web-based database development), and a custom synthesis capability spanning milligrams to tens of grams with feasibility, cost, timeline, and purity guarantees. Distribution is primarily direct sales (email, mail, fax, website) with personalized follow-up by commercial staff backed by synthetic chemists and cheminformatics experts; the company also distributes Greenpharma compound libraries (natural compound, endogenous ligand, plant extract) and Prestwick Chemical drug libraries under channel agreements.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: transactional brokerage of catalog compounds, one-time licensing of customized compound libraries, and project-based professional services for custom synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and molecular modeling. Pricing is in EUR or USD with CPT/DAP Incoterms 2020 delivery, a 200 EUR / 220 USD minimum order, 30-day payment terms on standard orders, 50% advance on orders of 3000 EUR or more, and possible 100% advance for new customers. Orders are quoted within two days; physical samples derived from virtual hits are delivered within weeks. The business has no disclosed funding, no public headcount, and operates as a non-independently-financed brand inside its parent CRO.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sigma-Aldrich (MilliporeSigma): Largest life science reagents and chemicals supplier; broad incumbent in research chemicals with overlapping catalog and custom synthesis capabilities, but serves as a one-stop-shop across many life science verticals beyond drug discovery.
• Prestwick Chemical: Supplier of curated FDA-approved and specialty drug libraries (including those distributed via Ambinter); comparable in pharma library offerings though Prestwick focuses on curated smaller-scale drug-focused sets rather than ultra-large catalogs.

Direct peers

• Combi-Blocks: Provider of chemical building blocks, screening libraries, and custom synthesis for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, comparable to Ambinter in catalog and custom chemistry offerings.
• Life Chemicals: Supplier of screening libraries, building blocks, and custom synthesis for drug discovery; overlaps with Ambinter in pharma-facing compound catalog and on-demand synthesis services.
• Enamine: Ukraine-based supplier of building blocks, screening libraries, and custom synthesis services for drug discovery; closely comparable to Ambinter in catalog scope, custom synthesis offering, and target customer base of pharma/CRO researchers.
• Mcule: Online chemical marketplace and database with virtual compound screening capabilities; comparable to Ambinter in bridging catalog access with cheminformatics tools for drug discovery.
• ChemSpace: Online marketplace and supplier of building blocks, screening compounds, and custom chemistry with a strong e-commerce ordering motion; comparable to Ambinter in compound supply but with a more modern digital purchasing flow.
• MolPort: Chemical compound marketplace aggregating millions of compounds from global suppliers; directly comparable as a discovery chemistry sourcing platform serving pharma and biotech customers.
• eMolecules: Search engine and sourcing platform for chemical compounds used in drug discovery and research; comparable as a digital compound sourcing layer for pharma and biotech buyers.

Emerging players

• BioSolveIT: Cheminformatics software vendor (infiniSee, Chemical Space Docking) that co-developed AMBrosia with Ambinter; comparable as a complementary technology provider in virtual screening and ultra-large chemical space exploration rather than a direct catalog competitor.
