Abstract
This Perspective from the Synthetic Peptide Working Group of the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development (IQ Consortium or IQ) Drug Substance Leadership Group discusses the selection of regulatory starting materials (RSMs) for peptide manufacture. Given the ubiquity of solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), it has been common practice to simply default to individual amino acids or dipeptides as RSMs. However, as the field of synthetic peptide research has grown and new synthesis technologies have been more widely adopted, this team proposes that there are cases where significant scientific and technical justification exists to consider larger peptide fragments as RSMs that remain consistent with ICH Q11. This framework would provide greater flexibility and support for the adoption of new and superior peptide synthesis technologies, increasing manufacturing process and supply chain robustness and offering opportunities for industry to address sustainability challenges inherent to current practices in synthetic peptide manufacture.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
