Across-the-world automated optimization and continuous flow synthesis of pharmaceutical agents operating through a cloud-based server.

Across-the-world automated optimization and continuous flow synthesis of pharmaceutical agents operating through a cloud-based server. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2018 Oct 01;: Authors: Fitzpatrick DE, Maujean T, Evans A, Ley SV Abstract The power of the Cloud has been harnessed for pharmaceutical compound production with remote servers based in Tokyo, Japan being left to autonomously find optimal synthesis conditions for three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in laboratories in Cambridge, UK. A researcher located in Los Angeles, USA controlled the entire process via an internet connection. The constituent synthetic steps for Tramadol, Lidocaine and Bupropion were thus optimized with minimal intervention from operators within hours, yielding conditions satisfying customizable evaluation functions for all examples.
