Herein, we report the development of an integrated continuous manufacturing (CM) process for penultimate step in synthesis apremilast, drug substance (DS) commercial product Otezla. This effort was motivated by desire to create alternative configuration with a significantly smaller footprint and impart intensification resulting more sustainable process. Three primary aspects existing batch had be addressed achieve this goal: (1) long reaction time, (2) low solubility starting materials...
The aim of this paper is to discuss the benefits as well limitations utilizing photopolymer materials in design holograms that are responsive changes their environment, such concentration a specific substance, temperature, and pressure. Three different case studies presented, including both surface volume phase holograms, order demonstrate flexibility approach holographic photopolymers for sensors interactive optical devices. First, functionalized relief hologram demonstrated operate an...
