Aurisco Pharmaceutical, a leading global Oligonucleotide and Peptide (TIDES) manufacturer, announced that its site in Yangzhou, China has passed the USFDA inspection as the first generic Oligonucleotide API manufacturer in the world.

The USFDA pre-approval inspection for Inclisiran Sodium inspection was carried out for 5 days (15-19.Jun.2026), as initially planned, and covered cGMP compliance inspection for oligonucleotides, GLP-1 peptides (such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide) and small molecules.
