Title: Recent Advances in the use of Preparative Chromatography in the Multikilogram Synthesis of Preclinical Pharmaceutical Candidates

Abstract:

A case study is presented illustrating how preparative chromatography is used in support of preclinical development projects. Delivery of preclinical candidates in multikilogram quantities is expedited through the implementation of flash chromatography, HPLC, and SFC for chiral and achiral intermediates and preclinical candidates.

Examples of approaches to method development, column loading studies and injection techniques in conjunction with separation and synthesis strategies will be presented.
