Method Development and Syntheses Examples of Isotopically Labeled Compounds to Foster Operational Excellence in Pharma Industry

Abstract

The different topics and synthetic approaches in an Isotope Chemistry laboratory of a pharma company are described. Besides the challenges in the synthesis of long-lived isotopes such as 3H or 14C, short-lived isotopes such as 68Ga and stable isotopes such as 15N, 13C or 2H approaches for the isotopically labeling are also demonstrated. Furthermore, method development with emphasis on collaborations with academic groups to tackle the future challenges are discussed.
