The Reveleris® Flash Cartridge Can be Used in the Impurity Isolation of Valproic Acid from Cyclodextrin During Encapsulation Overcoming Drug Delivery Challenges
23 Dec 2010In this application note the separation of valproic acid from its entrapment-carrier, γ-cyclodextrin, has been shown using the Reveleris® flash cartridge with the RevealX™ detection technology. Valproic acid is one of the major antiepileptic drugs, also effective in treating cancer. Although water is usually used as the reaction medium for enzymes, organic solvents or cyclodextrins can be added to improve the solubility of poorly soluble compounds.

Flash ChromatographyFlash chromatography is a fast-preparative column chromatography technique used for separation and purification of liquid analytes. Flash chromatography systems use small silica gel particles for separation and a pressurized gas for driving the solvent through the column or pre-packed cartridge.

Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
