The use of continuous flow chemistry for large-scale processing of pharmaceutical materials is accelerating. Continuous flow manufacture, often referred to as ‘flow chemistry’ or ‘continuous flow’, is a means of undertaking a chemical reaction using a continuous stream of different reagents confined in a p...

At Pharmaron, we understand that each API has its own physicochemical characteristics and formulation challenges. Based on our partners’ target product profile, our team is able to help select the most appropriate formulation design for drug products. We have experience in developing a variety of dosage fo...

Determining the most suitable lead solid form of APIs is a critical step in pharmaceutical development. The physical form impacts the physicochemical properties and influences a range of important aspects of drug development, including developability of a drug candidate, stability, bioavailability and manu...

During API chemical development, there are three words that every partner is focused on: quality, speed, and cost. Although chemical reactions may work perfectly on lab scale, moving from milligrams to kilograms or tons is not a simple, linear process. Working as an extension of your team, Pharmaron’s proc...

We develop robust chemical reactions and processes to ensure safe scale-up and m...

This webinar explores market demand and trends for small molecule drug substance late phase manufacture and supply.

Speakers include noted CMC consultant James Bruno who gives a brief overview of market dynamics and what the key needs of clients are who are transitioning into late phase and commercial small molecule drug substance production.

Dr Paul Quigley (Director Process Chemistry and Manufacture, Pharmaron) gives an overview of what is critical in terms of scale-up considerations (process scale-up fit for phase, process analytical technology, process safety, economy, velocity, materials science and technology selection).

Finally, Chris Harley (Associate Director of Manufacturing, Pharmaron) discusses manufacturing criteria (process optimisation, green metrics, technical transfer, modelling for scale, equipment selection) for successfully transitioning to commercial manufacturing.

Jet milling is a micronisation technique commonly implemented to deliver pharmaceutical API with a particle size below 10 micron with a narrow particle size distribution, thus enabling advanced product formulations.

This webinar will present a fundamental understanding of this key unit operation, cautionary tales from system setup, and will explore deeper into the current state of predictive modelling.

Speakers include experts Thoralf Hartwig (Principal Process Engineer, Pharmaron) and Filip Horvath-Gerber (Senior Process Engineer, Pharmaron). They will discuss learnings and outcomes from robust process development of jet milling within a pharmaceutical setting.

Pathfinder™ is a flexible, end-to-end CMC service integrating API and drug product development.
