Duration: 57 minutes
Abstract:
The demand for active substances for pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications is constantly increasing.
Many chemical structures, used in innovative active ingredients, may be successfully synthesized with hazardous raw materials or process steps using hazardous chemistry. Although such reactions require specialized equipment, trained employees and precautions during development and manufacturing, they can have significant advantages in terms of efficiency, costs or even sustainability.
To develop safe and robust commercial production processes, using hazardous chemistry, it is crucial to assess and manage the risks and hazards. An example of such a structured approach is shown for the development and manufacturing of VT-1161.
In this webinar recording, we present the use of hazardous chemistry in the development of commercial scale processes to manufacture APIs. We focus on managing the risks of hazardous chemistry in order to develop safe and efficient processes on commercial scale based on a real life example involving a commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient (Oteseconazole/VT-1161).

Dr. Jan Haller, R&D chemist, Novasep-PharmaZell, Leverkusen site, Germany Jan Haller studied chemistry at the university of Kiel and received his PhD in organic chemistry in Münster in 1995. After a postdoc time at UCLA devoted to computational chemistry, he started his industrial career at Agfa (the former photo company) in the chemistry R&D department. Since 2001 his focus has moved to process development in the CDMO world of Novasep. Jan has successfully transferred an uncountable number of chemical steps to production. |
