An innovation and technology hub for Flow Chemistry is being established in Hyderabad by a consortium comprising stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry and Telangana government.

It is aimed at ensuring greater incorporation of Flow Chemistry techniques in pharma research and development as well as enhanced adoption of continuous synthesis for manufacturing of active pharma ingredients (APIs), Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao’s office said announcing signing of an agreement for the facility.

The hub, being set up at Dr. Reddy’s Institute of Life Sciences (DRILS), will function as a centre of excellence and receive funding and patronage from pharma firms Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Laurus Labs.

Research activities at the CoE will benefit from the scientific mentorship and support from globally-renowned scientists, including Goverdhan Mehta, University of Hyderabad, Steven Ley of the University of Cambridge, Oliver Kappe of the University of Graz, and Shu Kobayashi of the University of Tokyo.

 

The API makers in the country are finding it difficult to adopt flow technologies and adapt to the changing paradigm of continuous manufacturing despite being awareness of the benefits of adopting flow technologies. The hub would enable a streamlined translation of a chemical process, demonstrated successfully in flow on lab scale, into one that is well-poised for continuous manufacturing with appropriate flow chemistry tools and utilities, the Minister’s office said.
