Sangostop was a pharmaceutical company founded on 10 August 1934,[2] with which Opekta did business. It's objective was:

'The manufacture of haemostatics and other chemical and pharmaceutical articles, the trade in these substances and products,  and in the raw materials thereof, as well as everything that is related to the above in the broadest sense or can be conducive thereto, and furthermore the cooperation with, the participation in, managing and financing other companies, of whatever nature'.[2]

Sangostop was affiliated with Brocades and Stheeman. On 20 March 1936, an annual meeting took place in the building of the Hollandsche Bank Unie on the Herengracht, immediately preceding that of Thelopharm N.V.[3]

In 1938 the company stood as a creditor in Opekta's balance sheet for more than four thousand[4] and in 1939 for more than thirteen hundred guilders.[5] Founder Benno Brahn became a commissioner and vice-chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sangostop that year.[6]

Due to the company's scientific research, it acquired the publication Die Pektinstoffe by Rudolf Řípa.[7] Sangostop's accounting showed various transactions with Opekta. The company supplied goods from 1935 onwards.[8]  In November 1940, there was another delivery of 250 kilos of pectin.[9]

Opekta competitors Nederlandsche Pectine Industrie and Pomosin Import were also among the buyers.[10]

Due to Brahn's Jewish ancestry, he had to give up direct control over his company. On 30 August 1943, the company booked an amount of one hundred and eighty guilders for the 'Aryanization of N.V.'[11]
