Powering the Future of U.S. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Meet Sentinel API Group
What are API’s?
An Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is the biologically active substance in a medication that yields the desired clinical effect (for example, Metformin in diabetes drugs or Amoxicillin in antibiotics).
Every finished drug product (the tablet, capsule, or injection) is composed of two parts:
-
API — the active compound that treats the condition.
-
Excipient — the inactive substance used as a carrier or filler.
APIs are the active parts of a medicine — the components that make it work. From pain relief and infection control to hormone support and chronic disease management, our APIs power the treatments that improve lives every day.
We specialize in producing these active ingredients for use in tablets, capsules, creams, and injectables supplied to pharmacies and healthcare facilities across the country.
Rebuilding America’s API Infrastructure—One Molecule at a Time
100% U.S.-Based Manufacturing
The majority of APIs in the U.S. drug supply are sourced overseas. We're here to change that.
Commitment to Quality
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every batch we produce undergoes rigorous testing and quality control to meet or exceed FDA standards.
Our facilities follow cGMP and use advanced equipment to ensure purity, consistency, and safety — from raw materials to finished product.
