• Markets: US, EU, Japan, ROW• Strategy
– API selection– Growth: New Products, New Customers, New Markets– Operation: Supply Chain, Continuous Development– PIV or PIII entry
• Chemistry: Chiral, Organometallic etc• Technology: TFF, SMB etc
• Is Micro Tubular Reactor an enabling technology
– Waste management– Safety issues– Supply chain
– Intense competition from other generic players– Complicated IPR scenario: PIII, PIV– Regulatory issues: ICH Guideline– The window of opportunity is short lived
• Single step to Multistep Synthesis• Multi component reactions• Batch Processes• Batch sizes ranging from Multigram to
• Pressures ranging from Atmospheric to
• Biphasic reactions• Telescopic reactions
– Hydrazoic acid, Diborane, EO– Nitration, Azidation
– Low yields– Time consuming reactions– Dilute reactions
• Where does it fit in?• Which chemistries can it handle?• Is it a laboratory technique?• Are the standard protocols available?• Are the prototype equipments available?• Can it be scaled up?• Is there a technology barrier?• Can it be patented?• Can it be validated?

• Angeotensin II receptor antagonists• Clinically used as anti hypertensives• Doses are in the range of 40-400 mg
• Tetrazole formation is the last step in the
• It is a time consuming reaction• Energy demanding• Generally high yielding• Generates toxic and explosive hydrazoic acid
• Peptide Homopolymers and Copolymers• L-Lysine, L-Alanine, L-Leucine, L-Glutamic
• Low PDI in the range of 1.19-1.32• Molecular wt distrebution is tunable• Function of residence time, monomer ratios,
• It is a $3bn molecule invented by TEVA• Clinically used for the treatment of RRMS• It’s a “complex” copolymer of L-Lysine, L-Alanine, L-Tyrosine,
• Average MW is in the range of 5-9KDa• Its PDI is about 1.6• It’s a 2 stage process:
• Copolymerization to 40 Kda• Cutting down to desired MW range of 5-9 KDa
• Final step is TFF purification to remove low molecular wt
• Batch size is limited by TFF capacity, and TFF systems are
• It has to make a commercial sense• To debottleneck API processes• To free capacity for new products• If it is a technology barrier• If it can be exclusive
