Improved assay development of pharmaceutical modalities using feedback-controlled liquid chromatography optimization.

Development of meaningful and reliable analytical assays in the (bio)pharmaceutical industry can often be challenging, involving tedious trial and error experimentation. In this work, an automated analytical workflow using an AI-based algorithm for streamlined method development and optimization is presented. Chromatographic methods are developed and optimized from start to finish by a feedback-controlled modeling approach using readily available LC instrumentation and software technologies, bypassing manual user intervention.

An improved workflow for the development of MS-compatible liquid chromatography assay purity and purification methods by using automated LC Screening instrumentation and in silico modeling.

The development of liquid chromatography UV and mass spectrometry (LC-UV-MS) assays in pharmaceutical analysis is pivotal to improve quality control by providing critical information about drug purity, stability, and presence and identity of byproducts and impurities. Analytical method development of these assays is time-consuming, which often causes it to become a bottle neck in drug development and poses a challenge for process chemists to quickly improve the chemistry. In this study, a systematic and efficient workflow was designed to develop purity assay and purification methods for a wide range of compounds including peptides, proteins, and small molecules with MS-compatible mobile phases (MP) by using automated LC screening instrumentation and in silico modeling tools.

Deciphering the therapeutical potentials of rosmarinic acid.

Lemon balm is herbal tea used for soothing stomach cramps, indigestion, and nausea. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is one of its chemical constituents known for its therapeutic potentials against cancer, inflammatory and neuronal diseases such as the treatment of neurofibromatosis or prevention from Alzheimer's diseases (AD). Despite efforts, recovery and purification of RA in high yields has not been entirely successful.
