Accelerated Degradation of Pharmaceuticals and Related Chemical Processes
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new forced degradation method. Using Leidenfrost droplets to accelerate forced degradation and nanospray mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize the reaction products, the reaction/analysis sequence provided results within minutes, i.e., five minutes, versus taking up to a week to complete. The FDA requires forced degradation for licensing, which causes a bottleneck in pharmaceutical production. An accelerated forced degradation method could help eliminate this bottleneck.
