What is Process Research ? Its 12 Principles Definition Objectives Personnel requirements GMP Considerations Process economics Industry challenges Case Studies- Remoxipride and chiral piperazine Lesson Learned: Unlocking the Potential of Process Innovation
Objective:
To design elegant, practical, efficient, environmentally benign and economically viable chemical syntheses for active drug substances (active pharmaceutical ingredient (API))

Pre-Clinical: 50 g - 5 kg: Safety Assessment, formulation, metabolism Clinical: 50-500 kg: Ph I-III human trials, long-term safety Post Clinical: transfer process technology to Manufacturing (1000 kg - metric ton quantities/yr; depending on dose)
Plant:- It is a place were the 5 Ms like money, material, man, method and machine are brought together for the manufacturing of the products. Pilot Plant:- It is the part of the pharmaceutical industry where a lab scale formula is transformed into a viable product by development of liable and practical procedure of manufacture. Scale-up:- The art for designing of prototype using the data obtained from the pilot plant model. Lab scientist---next page
To carry out research and development activity in the field of Organic Chemistry, to make profit for the organization, motivate, guide & lead a team of bench scientists, Conduct literature search, identify and execute new/novel routes for the synthesis, scale up from grams to kilo levels in lab., conduct pilot trials and assist in production upto ton levels. Carry out impurity profiles and assist in dossier writing. All the above being done keeping in mind the regulatory, safety, environmental issues. To keep in mind IPR issues and draft patents , Commercial aspects taken care are the time schedules, quality parameters and cost factors. All this with a view of non infringement and confidentiality. Simultaneously develop business acumen and convert to profits. file DMFS in US and EU, file patents and contribute to intellectual property Keep in mind polymorphism issues
1. To try the process on a model of proposed plant before committing large sum of money on a production unit. 2. Examination of the formula to determine its ability to withstand Batch-scale and process modification. 3. Evaluation and Validation for process and equipments 4. To identify the critical features of the process. Guidelines for production and process controls. 5. To provide master manufacturing formula with instructions for manufacturing procedure. 6. To avoid the scale-up problems.
1.
Scientists with experience in lab, 20 litre scale, pilot plant operations as well as in actual production area are the most preferable As they have to understand the intent of the ICH, Pharmacopoel, Final API, Regulatory, IPM, GMP, formulator as well as understand the perspective of the production personnel. The group should have some personnel with engineering knowledge as well as scale up also involves engineering principles

Prevention: It is better to prevent waste than to treat/clean up after its created. 2. Atom Economy: synthetic methods should be
designed to incorporate all the atoms used in the process into the final product 3 . Minimize Hazardous Conditions: Design process to avoid using reagents that pose safety threat 4. Safer Chemistry-Accident Prevention: Design processes that minimize hazards to environment and human health
5 Design Safer Products: Products should be designed to effect their desired function while minimizing toxicity Example: Use of single enantiomer drug vs racemate 6. Use Safer Solvents/Auxiliaries ` Use of innocuous solvents should be considered (e.g. water, supercritical CO2) ` Avoid use of unnecessary substances (e.g. drying agents, column chromatography)
7. Design for Energy Efficiency: Energy requirements for a process should be recognized for environmental and economic impact Eg: avoid extreme cryogenics (-78 oC) Avoid prolonged reaction times 8. Use of Renewable Raw Materials: Use a renewable source rather that depleting whenever technically and economically feasible. eg: plant-derived RM; microbial reactions
9. Minimize Derivatization: Avoid the use of protecting groups when possible as it add steps, requires extra reagents and generates more waste. 10. Catalysis: Use of catalytic reagents is far superior than stoichiometric amounts Example: using air as a source of oxygen for oxidation reaction
11. Design for Degradation: Ideally, process products and by-products should breakdown into innocuous materials and/or do not persist in the environment 12.Real Time Analysis: ` Analytical methods designed for real-time ` In-process monitoring/control of a reaction
Process Economics- Minimize inventory cost of API via: ` Low cost RM ` Productive/Efficient Reactions

The power of process development lies in how it helps companies achieve accelerated time to market, rapid production ramp-up and a stronger proprietary position
A firm that can develop sophisticated process technologies more rapidly and with fewer development resources has strategic options that less capable competitors lack
