What does Green Chemistry Mean?What does Green Chemistry Mean?

• Choosing a non-regulated solvent?

• All aqueous processing?

• Outsource intermediates or products (N.I.M.B.Y.)?

What is “What is “Green ChemistryGreen Chemistry””

Green Chemistry is reducing or eliminating

the use or generation of hazardous substances - including feedstocks, reagents, solvents, products and

byproducts - from a chemical process.

March 16, 1995: President Clinton announced the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge

• Part of the reinventing Environmental Regulations Initiative to “promote pollution prevention and industrial ecology …”

• Voluntary partnership with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), trade associations, scientific organizations, academia and the chemical industry

Taxol Supply IssuesTaxol Supply Issues

• Yew bark contains only ~0.0004% taxol

• Yew trees killed during harvesting

• Pacific yew trees provide the habitat of the endangered spotted owl

Semisynthetic TaxolSemisynthetic Taxol

• Leaves and twigs are a source of 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB)

• Biomass contains ~0.1% 10-DAB

• Renewable source cultivated throughout Europe

Sustainability of SupplySustainability of Supply

• PCF is a reliable year-round source of Taxol

• Yield is not susceptible to the influence of weather conditions, pests and diseases

• PCF Taxol production is faster than cultivation of biomass

• PCF Taxol production levels can be matched to commercial demand

Waste ReductionWaste Reduction

PCF Taxol production eliminated:

• ~ 240 MT per annum of biomass waste from 10-DAB production

• ~ 6.4 MT per annum of reagents classified as hazardous materials

• 9 different solvents, greatly simplifying composition of waste streams and improving recycle potential

• ~ 350 kg per annum of solid waste

Other Environmental BenefitsOther Environmental Benefits

Reduced Occupational Exposure

• Eliminated 6 solid-handling steps

• Eliminated handling of 24 reagents classified as hazardous reagents

Reduced Energy Usage

• Eliminated 2 steps that utilize cryogenic temperatures

• Eliminated 6 drying steps

Business Imperative for Business Imperative for SustainabilitySustainability

• Green Chemistry Program

• Sustainability 2010 goals

• Compliance with all local, state and federal environmental regulations

All factors aligned with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s

Other Business FactorsOther Business Factors

Product Quality• PCF conditions are more easily controlled to

ensure consistent production of high quality Taxol

Cost of Goods• Process comparison

• PCF has potential for further reductions through development of more productive Taxus cell lines
