Abstract
We report the initial studies toward the continuous processing of Baloxavir Marboxil, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of Roche’s commercial product Xofluza. The motivation behind this effort is to transition to integrated continuous manufacturing (ICM) as a platform to create an agile and on-demand supply chain capability for a drug that has highly variable market demand. The work described herein includes an improved late-stage synthetic route to Baloxavir Marboxil that (1) reduced a four-step synthesis down to two steps, (2) identified key diastereomeric crystallization conditions to reach required material specifications, and (3) removed the use of N,N-dimethylacetamide in exchange for a more environmentally benign solvent mixture of acetonitrile and water. After a full revision of the two-step synthetic route in batch mode, key unit operations were translated to continuous mode to evaluate their performance. Collectively, this work eliminated 16 unit operations, significantly simplified the process, and is projected to reduce the lead time from 12 months to several days using ICM.
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.
