TIANJIN, China, Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Asymchem Laboratories (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (SHE: 002821, "Asymchem") today announced that its API facility in Dunhua city, Jilin province, P. R. China ("Dunhua"), has successfully passed a pre-approval inspection (PAI) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The 5 day inspection was conducted between March 27-31, 2017, triggered by a customer's New Drug Application (NDA) filing of a cGMP intermediate. The Dunhua site was found to be compliant with the principles and guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for commercial activities, and resulted in no Form 483 observations. This was Asymchem Dunhua's first US FDA inspection.

Previous PAI and cGMP inspections by the US FDA were conducted in 2014 at Asymchem's Tianjin 1, Tianjin 2, and Fuxin sites (one week for each site), of which only one Form 483 was issued to the Fuxin site with a minor observation.

Dr. Hao Hong, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Asymchem Group, states, "We are very pleased with the positive results from this US FDA PAI of Asymchem's Dunhua manufacturing facility.
