CRC Handbook of Optical Resolutions via Diastereomeric Salt Formation

This handbook has the following distinctions:

• The importance of resolvability (Fogassy’s parameter), which permits the direct comparison of the efficiencies of independent resolution procedures, is emphasized, and its definition is thoroughly explained throughout the text.
• There are clear explanations of the mechanism and kinetics, including the equilibria between a racemate and a resolving agent in a solution and between a solution and a crystal not only for resolutions using an equimolar amount of resolving agents, but also for resolutions employing half the amount of resolving agent and for resolutions under immiscible two-liquid-phase conditions with concrete examples.
• There are very valuable lists of commonly used acidic and basic resolving agents (50 of each), along with their physical data, CA number, and catalog numbers.
• Structural modification of a resolving agent and the correlation between the resolvability and the structures of a racemate and a resolving agent are exemplified.
• The definite methods for the selection of a suitable resolving agent for a given racemate are presented.
• There are explanations on the optimization of parameters (solvent, initial concentration, and temperature), initiation of crystallization, separation of crystals/liquid, improvement of the optical purity of the first-generation salt, recovery of components, and enantiomeric enhancement.
• Several modified methods for optical resolution by diastereomeric salt formation are presented with definite examples.
• There are short summaries of 4000 resolutions by diastereomeric salt formations; these are invaluable for researchers and others who want to resolve an unknown racemate.

Thus, this handbook serves as a companion book for researchers, engineers, and graduates who are working on or who intend to work on the optical resolution of racemates by diastereomeric salt formation. In addition, this handbook will contribute significantly to further progress in the field of optical resolution of racemates by diastereomeric salt formation.

Validation of Toxicogenomic Technologies

Toxicogenomics has been described as a discipline combining ex-pertise in toxicology, genetics, molecular biology, and environmental health to elucidate the response of living organisms to stressful environ-ments. It includes the study of how genomes respond to toxicant expo-sures and how genotype affects responses to toxicant exposures. As the technologies for monitoring these responses rapidly develop, it is critical that scientists and regulators are confident that the technologies are reliable and reproducible and that the data analyses have been validated. To discuss these issues in a public forum, the Committee on the Validation of Toxicogenomic Technologies designed a workshop to consider the current practice and advances in the validation of toxicogenomic tech-nologies. The workshop focused on the technical aspects of validation, recognizing it as a prerequisite for considering other important issues, such as biological validation (e.g., validating the use of microarray “sig-natures” to describe a toxic effect).

Good Manufacturing Practices and Inspection (Quality Assurance of Pharmaceuticals)

Quality assurance of pharmaceutical products is a continuing concern of WHO. Despite efforts made around the world to ensure a supply of quality and effective medicines, substandard, spurious and counterfeit products still compromise health care delivery in many countries. To respond to the global need for adequate quality assurance of pharmaceuticals, WHO's Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations has over the years made numerous recommendations to establish standards and guidelines and to promote the effective functioning of national regulatory and control systems and the implementation of internationally agreed standards by trained personnel. Many of the relevant documents endorsed by the Committee are reproduced in this volume, providing guidance covering all aspects of good manufacturing practices (GMP). Important texts on inspection are also included. Most of the material has been published separately in the Expert Committee's reports. This compendium brings it together to make it more accessible and of greater practical value to those working in faculties of pharmacy, in medicines regulation and control, and in the pharmaceutical industry.

Risk-sharing in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Case of Out-licensing (Contributions to Management Science)

The costs of developing a new drug have reached record levels in the pharmaceutical industry. As any failure of a new drug candidate can lead to significant losses, many pharmaceutical companies are looking for new approaches to reduce their exposure to R and D risks. In this context, the book deals with the topic of out-licensing as a novel form of risk-sharing collaborations. The phenomenon of out-licensing is illustrated by three major case studies of Novartis, Schering and Roche as well as several smaller case studies. In addition, the Noble Prize awarded economic theory of Adverse Selection is applied to analyze the topic theoretically. The gained insights allow identifying the critical parameters of out-licensing collaborations and thereby provide R and D managers with recommendations on how to conclude and manage this type of deals more effectively.

Optimizing the "Drug-Like" Properties of Leads in Drug Discovery

Traditionally, incorporating optimal drug-like properties into a structural lead was not considered by medicinal chemists to be their responsibility. Instead, medicinal chemists felt that the undesirable drug-like properties in their drug candidates would be fixed by preclinical development scientists. However, that view has changed in the past 510 years, resulting in another significant paradigm shift in drug discovery. The most significant aspect of this latest paradigm shift is the recognition by medicinal chemists that the drug-like properties of structural hits, structural leads, and drug candidates are intrinsic properties of the molecules and that it is the responsibility of the medicinal chemist to optimize not only the pharmacological properties but also the drug-like properties of these molecules. Therefore, assessment of these drug-like properties is now done early in the drug discovery process on structural hits and structural leads as well as the design of screening libraries. Optimization of these drug-like properties is done through an iterative process in close collaboration with preclinical development scientists. This process is analogous to the process used by the medicinal chemist to characterize and optimize the pharmacological activity of their structural hits, leads and drug candidates.

Recognizing these changes in the paradigm by which drugs are discovered, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) has recently organized and sponsored two focused workshops in the area of profiling drug-like properties during drug discovery.

The first workshop, entitled "Pharmaceutical Profiling in Drug Discovery for Lead Selection", took place in Whippany, NJ on May 19-21, 2003. This workshop, which was co-sponsored by the American Chemical Society-Medicinal Chemistry Division and the Society for Biomolecular Screening, was focused on prediction, measurement, and utilization of drug-like properties during lead selection. From this workshop arose the book entitled Pharmaceutical Profiling in Drug discovery for Lead Selection, which was edited by Ronald T. Borchardt, Edward H. Kerns, Christopher A. Lipinski, Dhiren R. Thakker and Binghe Wang and published by AAPS Press (Arlington, VA) in 2004.

The second workshop entitled "Optimizing the Drug-Like Properties of Leads in Drug Discovery" took place in Parsippany, NJ on September 19-22, 2004. This workshop, which was co-sponsored by the American Chemical Society-Medicinal Chemistry Division, American Chemical Society-North Jersey Section, American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences, International Society for the study of Xenobiotics, and the Society of Toxicology, was focused on the optimization of the drug-like properties of leads in drug discovery. If the strategies and the methodologies presented at this workshop were to be adopted by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, it is the belief of the workshops organizers that more higher quality drug candidates would be advancing into preclinical and clinical development resulting in more efficacious and safer drugs.
