Interesting new development for protection of drug patents, which is still in the working stage and could be developed to work at the factory level. Monitoring crystal structures could be a valuable tool in the protection of patents and intellectual property. Drug crystals can be viewed while they are forming, something new that has not been done before. The company states they are interested with pursuing conversations with drug companies. BD
Drug companies could save millions thanks to a new technology to monitor crystals as they form. The technique, developed by University of Leeds engineers, is a potentially invaluable tool in drug manufacture, where controlling crystal forms is crucial both to cost and product safety. Most drug compounds are crystalline and their structure can affect both their physical attributes and their performance. Changes to these structures are often caused by undetected fluctuations in the process.
