Process research, also known as route scouting, is crucial for ensuring the scalability and efficiency of drug production. This step involves identifying and evaluating various synthetic pathways to produce a target compound. Researchers explore different chemical reactions and sequences to determine the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective method for large-scale synthesis of the desired compound.
Optimizing routes from the outset ensures feasibility and scalability, preventing costly revisions and delays in later stages of development. Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Chemical Process Research Group (CPR Group), at our Regensburg site performs route scouting to pave the way for commercial manufacturing.
