Enhance Reaction Rates For Anti-Cancer Therapy Manufacture

Photochemical reactions are challenging to use in traditional batch methods because of the unproductive light absorption in large batch reactors. Applying flow chemistry techniques enabled Asymchem to develop a new route for Ceralasertib, an experimental anti-cancer therapy, which included LED-NMR reaction profiling, quantum yield measurements and Stern-Volmer quenching studies--and revealed a potential new way to optimize the catalyst system.
