Abstract

Accelerating the Production of Psychotropic Drugs with Flow Technology

Jean-Christophe Monbaliu, Associate Professor, Center for Integrated Technology and Organic Synthesis, University of Liège

I will present the most recent work from CiTOS on the development of scalable and versatile flow processes for the manufacturing of psychotropic drugs. More specifically, I will discuss the journeys towards the flow production of ritalin, ketamine, amphetamines, modafinil and fentanyl analogs. The main challenges and opportunities, as well as a reflection on potential dual use will be stressed.
