• 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

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.

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.

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.

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!
