Popis: The IQ Consortium reports on the current state of process analytical technology (PAT) for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) development in branded pharmaceutical companies. The article uses an API process workflow (process steps from raw material identification through to finished API) to provide representative examples, including why and how the pharmaceutical industry uses PAT tools in API development. The use of PAT can improve R&D efficiency and minimize personnel hazards associated with sampling hazardous materials for in-process testing. Although not all steps or chemical processes are readily amenable to the use of the PAT toolbox, when appropriate, PAT enables reliable and rapid (real or near time) analyses of processes that may contain materials that are highly hazardous, transient, or heterogeneous. These measurements can provide significant data for developing process chemistry understanding, and they may include the detection of previously unknown reaction intermediates, mechanisms, or re...
