• Structure Elucidation for impurities exceeding 0.2% area threshold for use in clinical application/ regulatory filing.
• Project lab detects impurities, POI-1 at 0.25% area and POI-2 at 0.5% area during scale-up synthesis, previously un-detected in previous campaigns.
• Attempts to degrade material, heat/solution, result in increasedimpurity levels, 0.5% and 1.2% area respectively
• Validated method employs HCLO4 modifier – No MS clues
Structure Elucidation • Step-1: Discard project lab method, Screen via. SFC.• Step-2: Time based fractionation across gradient elution.• Step-3: Re-inject fractions, validated method, targeting POI’s • Step-4: Refine fractions based on Step-3, scale as appropriate

Biocatalysis Application
• Biocatalysis is the use of natural catalyst, such as protein enzymes, to perform chemical transformations on organic compounds.
• Purpose of the enzyme is to selectively act on a single type of functional group.
• Enzymes are chiral catalysts in which the substrate may be transformed into an optically active product.
• Reaction proceeds under mild conditions, minimize problems of undesired side-reactions such as decomposition, isomerization, racemization and rearrangement.
• Environmentally acceptable, being completely degraded in the environment.

• Carbohydrates are a very important class of naturally occurring chemicals that metabolize to water, carbon dioxide and heat/energy.
• An organic compound with general formula Cm(H2O)n, that is, consisting only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the last two in the 2:1 atom ratio.
• Evaluate the feasibility of using SFC for the separation.

Polytide Application
• Historically RP/HPLC-MS is the most popular technique for the analysis of peptides when purification is necessary.
• Complex peptide mixtures result in long analysis times or 2D-LC modes of operation.
• Evaluate the feasibility of using SFC for the separation of Polytides.
– Identify model peptide compounds for initial study– Screen multiple columns and modifiers – Understand separation mechanism
• Research initiative: Prof. Larry Taylor (VT).

Peptide Application
• Linear 12-mer peptides that differ only in amino acid sequence can be baseline separated.
• Stationary phases containing nitrogenous bases were most successful, i.e. 2-Ethyl pyridine and Amino.
• TFA appears to be the mobile phase additive of choice (suppress deprotonation of peptide carboxylic acid group, protonate the amino group)
• Water Addition: • Enhance solubility of hydrophilic compounds • Increase solvation of the stationary phase• Modify surface tension between the phases• Alter surface chemistry of the packed phase.
Peptide ApplicationContinued Exploration
• Effects of/Impact of Separation:• Gradient Steepness• Temperature• Stationary/Mobile Phases• Additive Concentration • pH• Column Coupling – same/mixed phases• Continued Collaboration with Prof. Taylor
Separation of Nucleobases Facilitated with Water Additive
• During the past decade, the greatest success for improving SFC chromatographic peak shapes of polar solutes has been achieved using polar modifiers and even more polar additives with standard silica-based polar stationary phases.
• Initial study concerned the chromatographic behavior of four water soluble nucleobases (thymine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine) utilizing polar stationary phases.
• Incorporation of a fixed amount of water additive into the alcohol modifier yielded markedly improved chromatographic performance.
• The high polarity of water and its ability to function as a hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrogen bond donor enhance its role as a neutral additive.

Wavelength Compensated
• Detection limits and system reproducibility that once impeded SFC from entering the mainstream are achievable.
• We have the capability to qualify instrumentation and validate analytical methods utilizing SFC.
• SFC is the next building block in our “method development toolbox” at Pfizer.
• SFC is perfect for chiral applications. We are currently pushing the technology for achiral and polytide applications.
SFC as an Analytical Tool in a GMP Regulated Environment:
• Complimentary Flash Technique• Rxn mixture clean-up, purification• Eliminate chlorinated/hazardous
solvents• Reduced waste stream• Inexpensive, replaceable cartridges

Green Flash – Next Steps
• TLC to SFC correlation…….is it possible.• Additional phases applicable to SFC; 2-EP, Diol,
Amino…other.• Can a vendor build a comparable, high pressure flash
platform to compete in current process….cost.• User friendly, touch screen programming, look and feel
of current platforms….• Easy-load cartridge holder, high pressure rating…• End-User not concerned with “what” solvents are
utilized, concerned with reliability, robustness, application….each and every time.
• Potential: currently ~1-flash system/3-chemists within current Discovery organization…..
SFC conclusions
• Significant increase in production rate and throughput/instrument- Collection time is faster / stacked injs.- Evaporation time is faster / saves energy- cost savings in labor
• Significant solvent cost savings!- Less solvent consumed and less disposal- CO2 is inexpensive to purchase (~ 10 cents/L)- CO2 zero cost to dispose of - Alcohol modifiers $$ << $$ Acetonitrile/other organics
• In addition - scalable, reproducible, can use smaller particle size, higher efficiencies, etc.
Bottom line $$ : There are significant long term operational cost savings using a technology that performs strongly in
Chiral/Achiral analytical and purification applications.

General SFC Conclusions
• SFC has demonstrated superiority as an analytical/purification separations tool
• Chromatographic gains are realized as a result of the physical properties of supercritical CO2 !
- Low viscosity and high solute diffusivity result in faster analysis times and higher throughput w/out loss in efficiency
- Using supercritical CO2 is cost effective, safe, and inert!
• Recent advances in instrument robustness and UV detector sensitivity have made SFC a viable drug development chromatographic technique
• Innovation is key to the future of pSFC!
