Funded Activity Summary

Pushing The Boundaries Of Flow Chemistry – Towards New Anti-Viral Agents. Synthetic chemistry approaches to new drugs rely on access to robust reliable reactions. Traditionally these approaches are highly wasteful with the pharmaceutical industries producing five to a hundred kilograms of waste per kilogram of product. Total flow chemistry approaches will significantly reduce waste, allow rapid reaction sequence optimisation, and seamless scale up. In a collaborative effort spanning Australia, Germany and the USA, in an exemplar of a real world application, this project will produce benefits not only in enhanced and greener synthetic approaches, but also in the development of strategies for the identification of small molecules, the precursors to a new mode of action class of anti-viral drugs.
