The high attrition rates experienced in Phase II has multiple implications for drug discovery and the pharmaceutical industry in general. This conference is geared specifically for medicinal chemists and focuses on the pathways for developing translational biomarkers. These tools facilitate the translation of preclinical candidates into clinical programs with a greater degree of confidence and have the potential to increase the probability of their success. This program is comprised of three sessions that address key areas of interest for the practicing medicinal chemist. They are:  Translatable target engagement biomarkers (imaging and non-imaging biomarkers)  Mechanism biomarkers, including safety  Clinical biomarkers, including disease biomarkers and regulatory acceptance In each session, four speakers will present on their research addressing and providing their prospective on the session topic. Real life examples will illustrate how the theoretical can be used to address practical issues.

Process Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry by Daniel Fishman — last modified 02-13-08 01:15 PM

New conference chairs Pat Confalone of DuPont and Joseph Fortunak of Howard University have developed the 2008 program for the “Process Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry” conference with an emphasis on process R&D and a look into how another industry navigates the issues of commercial ramp up and manufacturing. A number of case studies from the pharmaceutical industry will be given to highlight the challenges and rewards of discovering and developing commercial manufacturing processes for novel therapeutics. The engineering aspects of process R&D, including kinetics, process parameters, process analytical technology, and green chemistry, will also be explored. A half-day will be devoted to presentations from the crop protection sector, where cost of goods is a critical success factor, and practitioners must develop commercial processes within severe cost constraints in the face of complex active ingredient targets. This requires highly convergent syntheses with starting material pricing less than $ 10 / kg, often eliminating several excellent alternative routes for the manufacturing process. Many of the insights from the Agrichemicals industry should prove beneficial to pharmaceutical Process R&D organizations. Though the focus of the conference is on process chemistry currently in practice in industry, as always, noted academics will present their ideas and work on important novel methodologies that will impact process R&D capabilities in the near future.
