Abstract
Our Hub research is driven by the societal need to produce medicines and materials for modern living through novel manufacturing processes. The enormous value of the industries manufacturing these high value products is estimated to generate £50 billion p.a. in the UK economy. To ensure international competitiveness for this huge UK industry we must urgently create new approaches for the rapid design of these systems, controlling how molecules self-assemble into small crystals, in order to best formulate and deliver these for patient and customer. We must also develop the engineering tools, process operations and control methods to manufacture these products in a resource-efficient way, while delivering the highest quality materials.
Changing the way in which these materials are made, from what is called "batch" crystallisation (using large volume tanks) to "continuous" crystallisation (a more dynamic, "flowing" process), gives many advantages, including smaller facilities, more efficient use of expensive ingredients such as solvents, reducing energy requirements, capital investment, working capital, minimising risk and variation and, crucially, improving control over the quality and performance of the particles making them more suitable for formulation into final products. The vision is to quickly and reliably design a process to manufacture a given material into the ideal particle using an efficient continuous process, and ensure its effective delivery to the consumer. This will bring precision medicines and other highly customisable projects to market more quickly. An exemplar is the hubs exciting innovation partnership with Cancer Research UK.
Our research will develop robust design procedures for rapid development of new particulate products and innovative processes, integrate crystallisation and formulation to eliminate processing steps and develop reconfiguration strategies for flexible production. This will accelerate innovation towards redistributed manufacturing, more personalisation of products, and manufacturing closer to the patient/customer. We will develop a modular MicroFactory for integrated particle engineering, coupled with a fully integrated, computer-modelling approach to guide the design of processes and materials at molecule, particle and formulation levels. This will help optimise what we call the patient-centric supply chain and provide customisable products. We will make greater use of targeted experimental design, prediction and advanced computer simulation of new formulated materials, to control and optimise the processes to manufacture them.
Our talented team of scientists will use the outstanding capabilities in the award winning £34m CMAC National Facility at Strathclyde and across our 6 leading university spokes (Bath, Cambridge, Imperial, Leeds, Loughborough, Sheffield). This builds on existing foundations independently recognised by global industry as 'exemplary collaboration between industry, academia and government which represents the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chain R&D framework'.
Our vision will be translated from research into industry through partnership and co-investment of £31m. This includes 10 of world's largest pharmaceutical companies (eg AstraZeneca, GSK), chemicals and food companies (Syngenta, Croda, Mars) and 19 key technology companies (Siemens, 15 SMEs) Together, with innovation spokes eg Catapult (CPI) we aim to provide the UK with the most advanced, integrated capabilities to deliver continuous manufacture, leading to better materials, better value, more sustainable and flexible processes and better health and well-being for the people of the UK and worldwide. CMAC will create future competitive advantage for the UK in medicines manufacturing and chemicals sector and is strongly supported by industry / government bodies, positioning the UK as the investment location choice for future investments in research and manufacturing.

Planned Impact
The CMAC Future Manufacturing Hub team actively engage and collaborate with a wide range of research beneficiaries: leading pharmaceutical companies (e.g. AZ, GSK, Bayer, Pfizer, Lilly); companies in the process industries (e.g. Mars, AB Sugar, Syngenta, Croda); technology and supply chain companies (e.g. Siemens and 15 SMEs). It has a vibrant innovation landscape with partners including; HVM Catapult (CPI); the National Formulation Centre; medical charities (e.g. CRUK), Medicines Manufacturing Industry Partnership (MMIP) of the UK pharma manufacturing industry; Chemical Growth Partnership; International academic partners (Rutgers, Graz, Singapore) through the newly formed International Institute of Advanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. This strong, active and influential network of collaborators, stakeholders and business leaders (contributing £31.2m to translate the research into impact), maximises the potential to achieve the Hub vision will create substantial associated impact and benefits including:
1. Economic Impact: contributing to the UK economy by increasing the competitiveness of companies across the £50Bn Pharmaceutical and Chemicals sector. The Hub programme will impact on business innovative capacity and revenues by giving industry access to a 'particle production toolbox' which will increase competitiveness by enabling flexibility of product supply delivered through integrated multi-step continuous manufacturing processes. The Hub will accelerate development and scale up of products with improved costs, energy and material usage, delivering regeneration and economic development opportunities through creation and growth of new companies and jobs through the exploitation and commercialisation of novel processing and platform formulation technologies (potential licensing, spin-out formation) attracting direct inward R&D investment investments from global businesses.
2. Wider Societal Impacts: delivering improvements to life quality and health & wellbeing through improvements to the speed and agility of drug development, manufacture and supply required to meet current unmet customer and patient needs and future demand; availability of a wider range of effective, safe and economically viable products will impact on health across the population. Through smaller plant footprint and reduced energy consumption, continuous manufacturing will deliver lower production costs and significant positive environmental impacts. Engaging with policy-makers and influencing future regulatory frameworks will be a key activity to realise the full potential of these transformative innovations in highly regulated sectors. The manufacturing technology developments will also impact internationally - small modular reconfigurable manufacturing capability with automated, intelligent control has the potential to enable distributed manufacture with units positioned close to the point of need, tackling global priority problems; opportunities for anti-malarial or anti-retroviral products at low cost in developing economies for local distribution to patients will improve access to safe and effective healthcare.
3. Academic Impacts: an interdisciplinary approach to developing new and innovative methodologies and technologies will deliver worldwide academic opportunities in addressing the challenges facing global pharmaceutical and chemicals industries. A unique focus on manufacturing technology and connectivity across multiple stakeholders will enhance the profile of manufacturing research in key sectors of the UK economy, increasing research activity and capacity. Through training highly skilled researchers and attracting talent, a pipeline of knowledge and skilled people will be created for businesses, international collaboration, engagement and research impact (e.g. through co-authored research papers) and new opportunities for UK researchers to obtain international experience via researcher exchanges through CMACs global network.

| Title | Eureka and Discovery: Dr Wei Li, Loughborough University - Lovastatin crystals |
| Description | Lovastatin is widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, but the crystalline form of elongated needles is notorious for its poor manufacturability of the final drug product. The aspect ratio of these needle-shaped crystals can be modified by a polymer additive, polypropylene glycol (PPG), which acts as growth blocking agent on selected crystal faces. The fastest growth path along the [100] direction is suppressed while the [010] direction indicating distinctively growth gives spindle body shape. The images show that growth from solution is disrupted on some surfaces resulting in an uneven microstructure, whilst growth on other planes remain relatively flat. Further shape modifications may be obtained using temperature cycles of crystal growth and dissolution, which overall inhibit growth along the a-axis, [100], but with minimal agglomeration and production of fines, leading to a better product for downstream formulation. |

| Description | The overall research programme aimed to develop more efficient approaches for developing and manufacturing medicines using science driven workflows, advanced process models and modular, flexible continuous processing MicroFactories. Phase I Jan 2017- Q1 2021. Integrated Paracetamol Process. The CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub launched its research program with the development of an end-to-end process for the synthesis, purification, isolation and formulation of Paracetamol, an analgesic medicine. In Parallel a prototype digital twin was developed using PSE's gFormulate software. This short project ran from January to June 2017 and built upon the outputs of the CMAC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing (CIM). This short project assessed the current capabilities in development workflows, equipment and modelling to inform future research and it also acted as a platform for developing the new research partnership. Prototype Lovastatin Microfactory and Digital Twin. Over the period July 2017-October 2019, CMAC developed and tested a novel prototype integrated continuous crystallisation, spherical agglomeration, filter, wash and dry process for the manufacture of Lovastatin. This is a drug where the active ingredient forms difficult to process, needle-like crystals that make the traditional manufacture process difficult and expensive. The new process can be implemented in a laboratory setting using our Microfactory platform with the benefits of a very small space footprint. For the first time, the material from this process was successfully made into tablets using direct compression to produce an oral solid dose form with improved manufacturability. A digital twin of the new Lovastatin process has been developed. It coupled predictive models for solvent screening and selection, crystal growth, and spherical agglomeration to enable simulation of possible conditions of these integrated processes. A set of visualisation tools were developed to support the digital twin. The prototype versions of these were also demonstrated alongside the Lovastatin Microfactory at the CMAC Open Day 2018. Research outputs from this work and the underpinning research supporting it have been added to the common outcomes as they have been disseminated (includes: Hatcher et al, Hatcher, Li et al, McGinty, Chong et al). Additional outputs include a Workflow for Spherical Agglomeration, and Population Balance Model of Spherical Agglomeration models implemented in PSE software, and validated. As part of our advanced characterisation work XPS studies of Lovastatin crystallisation, SEM of continuous antisolvent crystallisation, XPCI of Lovastatin were done to better understand the nucleation and growth mechanisms involved. A paper about this has now been accepted for publication and will be added to the database once the doi is available. The Mefenamic Acid (MFA) Digital Design and MicroFactory campaign started in December 2018 and ran until summer 2022. The early stages of the campaign looked at whether or not we could integrate the final stage of synthesis with purification and particle engineering downstream, however in the face of the impact of the COVID lockdown and challenges with equipment availability we focussed on a digital first approach to developing the particle engineering aspects of the process. The campaign built on the previous Hub research to establish a novel integrated API MicroFactory consisting of seeding vessel, crystalliser and isolation unit and an innovative Drug Product MicroFactory made up of feeder, hot melt extruder and 3D printer. The API production campaign initiated the development of a new overarching, digitally enabled workflow methodology termed Quality by Digital Design that implements predictive models alongside material sparing and rapid, small-scale experiments to extract key parameters and information to digitally design the process, understand uncertainty and global sensitivities to inform the MicroFactory test bed control strategy and operation. Extensive flowsheet modelling of end-to-end and individual unit operations provide simulations of process and operating conditions to inform how to run the continuous physical process. Primary processing test bed configuration and data structure has been set up to align with the QbDD Approach and allow for future machine learning work. The work on MFA showed how control of particle size in API material process can be achieved via the Digital First approach. The resulting powder was performance tested in vitro to verify a digital twin of the performance testing of the powder. That allowed us to develop a simple end to end digital twin that was demonstrated in the form of an Android app, at our CMAC Open Days event 16-18th May 2022. Additionally a paper about the MFA API MicroFactory was published in 2023 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2023.07.003). The MFA campaign progressed development of key modelling elements that had previously been gaps and addressed the operational challenges of integration across the team between modellers and experimentalists and between drug substance and drug product experts. Deviation and delays to original plan for MFA occurred due to Covid and social distancing requirements, and some refinements to the scope of the project so it matched our equipment capability. The lack of face-to-face interaction between the different groups at remote locations over such an extended period made communication and collaboration more difficult than normal, in particular for new staff during 2020-2021. Adapting to emerging challenges presented by the MicroFactory system during the campaign including the equipment and the integrated modelling framework and systems approach are covered in the MFA MicroFactory and subsequent phase II papers (see below). Secondary processing (paper by Prasad et al) -showed that Rheology guided process development was successful, but also highlights the limitations of this technique. The targeted immediate release profile for the CSD of MA in Soluplus®-Sorbitol formulation has been met, whilst the stable crystalline form (I) of MFA has been retained and the consistency of drug release has been significantly improved. A novel MicroFactory prototype, combining Feeder, Hot Melt Extruder and 3D printer, has successfully produced MA tablets and a patent application has been submitted The A recent work from the Hub (Prasad, E.; Robertson, J.; Halbert, G. W. 2022) shows that formulation of MFA OSDs can be modified such that the immediate release profile is more consistent and exceeds that of commercially available tablets via use of a prototype combined Hot melt extruder and 3D printer MicroFactory platform (PG449245GB). A paper from 2023 describes a filament-free melt extrusion printer and demonstrates how it addresses the two primary drawbacks of filament-based melt extrusion 3D printing: the time and resource-intensive two-step manufacturing process, and the limited availability of pharmaceutical materials possessing suitable properties for filament-based 3D printing. It describes formulations that are not accessible via more traditional 3D printing technologies that can be accessed using the new filament -free platform and how varying the design of the tablet infill and mass impacts on the performance and ability to make patient centric dose forms. Material reconciliation showed good traceability of material during the manufacturing process. In 2021 the Hub had a successful Mid-term Review and then kicked off phase II of the Hub research as described in the 2020 CMAC Hub Annual Review and revised in the 2021-2023 CMAC Hub Annual Reviews (https://cmac.ac.uk/cmac-annual-reviews). During phase II new strands of activity have been established. First, a novel crystallisation classification system DataFactory has been initiated and is currently being established. It includes elements to address experimental requirements in the early stage of the QbDD workflow and is supported with new RPIF funded robotics and associated hardware. Ongoing tasks include automation and integration of the robots, and development of smart experiments using AI. In 2023-2024 the capability of the crystallisation DataFactory will be expanded further to include additional advanced measurement capability and to increase the number of experiments that can be run in parallel thanks to new equipment funding from UK RPIF Round 7. The second activity is the WP2.3 Drug product performance modelling work that's kicked off at Sheffield and aligned with PhD and the Pressure-dependent In-Situ Monitoring of Granular Materials (EP/S02168X/1) projects. The development of these models was planned such that they can become an integrated part of the WP2.1 QbDD Workflow. In 2023 the Quality by Digital Design concept was clarified and expanded by preparing a Strategic perspective paper which is expected to be published in 2024, and mapping out version 1 of the QbDD workflows framework in more detail using the BPMN 2.0 format. This concept was shared at the CMAC Open Days 2023 QbDD speaker session and showcase. Additionally a paper that exemplifies using the QbDD workflows to deliver digitally designed API MicroFactory processes was planned with experimental work on Ibuprofen and Lamivudine exemplars taking place during 2023, and a further API being completed in early 2024. It is expected that a paper will be submitted by end of Sept 2024 on this piece of work. |
| Exploitation Route | The pre-competitive CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub programme has been co-created with our industry partners (at March 2024 these are AstraZeneca, Chiesi, Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Takeda, UCB). The research outputs have been demonstrated at CMAC Open Days in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2023 via live demonstrations, lab tours, talks, and posters. Research outputs are being disseminated via publications, conference presentations, posters and internal reports. Learnings from this project are expected to be translated to industry partners through routes including researcher placements, CPD training, translation focused seminars, digital apps, and knowledge applied to proprietary industry projects run by CMAC in parallel with the Hub programme. The academic team working on the pre-competitive CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub programme will take the learnings from Phase I and II and apply them across CMAC and ongoing research projects. This work also linked to the research done on the aligned and now completed EPSRC ARTICULAR project (EP/R032858/1). In 2022 two new posts, funded by UKRI rapid calls, started in Q2. The Hub Impact Officer and Digital Developer have started to implement pathways to impact plans with a focus on translating digital assets and workflows both internally and across the portfolio of projects and to our Tier 1 partners. The Spherical Agglomeration workflow dissemination to partners is well progressed and the Cooling Crystallisation workflow have been disseminated to our Industry partners. A CPD course on Cooling Crystallisation is being developed and rolled out with Part one having over 20 people in CMAC and the Industry Tier1 partners "beta test" it during 2022. An AssetStore to capture CMAC Digital Assets as they are developed has been launched in 2022 with plans to utilize more extensively in 2023-2024. A plan for further dissemination and translation of the research outputs from Hub to the Tier1 partners is in place. The Quality by Digital Design Workflows that were initiated during the MFA campaign have been further developed and are currently being used to deliver three more API manufacture campaigns during 2023-2024. The outputs of this work will include a paper outlining what QbDD is and the context within the Medicines Manufacturing landscape, what QbDD work CMAC has done, and the importance and potential impact of this approach. The data from the three QbDD driven API MicroFactories currently underway will be used for a second paper that will exemplify practically implementing the approach. We are currently working with our Industry Partners to ensure we are fully aligned in terms of what the QbDD Workflows develop in CMAC can deliver for Industry and focus on effective routes for translation to industry and impact. These two papers will provide a basis for further translation activity beyond formal end of the Hub. |

| Description | How have your findings been used? Please provide a brief summary. Areas where we have delivered demonstrable impact are: 1) Prove, demonstrate (and in some case deliver platform capabilities and equipment) new ideas and concepts that companies do not have enough time or expertise to try themselves. Predictive design exploiting model-driven workflows plus end-to-end digital twin development and concepts, MicroFactory development and operation, and advanced future supply chain concepts focused around distributed manufacturing of medicines. Progress in the award is reinforcing the opportunities to support future medicines supply chains. Flexible MicroFactories now appear within the UK Medicines Manufacturing Industry Partnership (MMIP) technology and innovation roadmap. 2) Develop new workflows to efficiently and effectively develop processes and gain process understanding saving time, reducing risk and reducing resources required. The Hub is developing an integrated, digitally-enabled QbDD approach that addresses the uncertainty and risks associated with robust, efficient continuous processes and extend to implementation strategies for advanced process control, and are using this to deliver 3 API MicroFactory-based processes. There are many tools and workflows included in this approach and being developed across the academic team. These include solubility prediction tools, advanced workflows for crystallisation development including impurity rejection, drug product manufacturability via Hot Melt Extruder/ 3DPrint workflow. 3) New measurement techniques including the use of ToF-SIMS, EXAFS, PDF, THz has been developed and applied to a range of rate processes and materials to provide new insights to structure-process-performance relationships. 4) Address real-time live manufacturing development challenges on commercial products delivering impacts including reduced waste, improved quality, improved reproducibility, lower costs, reduced plant down-time. During 2021 CMAC reached its 10-year anniversary as a result of the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (EP/I033459/1) and Future Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation Research Hub funding. At the celebration online event in November 2022, a forward strategy for the portfolio of projects, including and underpinned by the Hub, was published CMAC_Strategy_21-26+(6).pdf (squarespace.com). This strategy launch was aligned with a refresh of Tier 1 membership. Current members are: AstraZeneca, Chiesi, Lilly, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Takeda, UCB. The Hub has a role to act as a National Centre and as such has aligned with key policy. This includes alignment with MMIP mission to support the UK to become a leading force in manufacturing innovation, ABPI's Manufacturing vison for the UK, The Made Smarter Report, FDA vision for Global Pharma. CMAC strategy includes aiming to achieve greater speed, quality, agility, security and sustainability, in pharmaceutical manufacturing and communicating and engaging around the need for advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing, analytics and industrial digital technology development. The need for skilled people to address the gap in Digital Transformation and Data-Driven Research has been highlighted. The UK has supported the portfolio of aligned projects underpinned by the Hub investment. The CMAC Skills pillar starts to address the requirements of the talent pipeline, and our industry partners have noted how the doctoral training at CMAC produces uniquely skilled people. Significant further funding has been awarded because of the Hub award. This has been updated in the common outcomes section and includes the awards. In 2022 CMAC hosted an in person 3-day event that combined the ARTICULAR (EP/R032858/1) Showcase, DM2 (EP/V062077/1) launch and CMAC Open Days. Day 2 will focused directly on Hub research outputs and Day 3 on translation to Industry and formal launch of the aligned DM2 research programme Day 1 is focused on ARTICULAR research outputs. The CMAC Open Days 2023 event took place on 14-16th Nov 2023 and highlighted the Hub research outputs alongside that of the portfolio of projects that have built on the Hub platform. The CMAC YouTube channel shows some of the highlights from the event (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbic3O4IH1TLMhExyY9Utmg). In 2021 the Hub refreshed its ED&I policy and training and implemented a CMAC ED&I Committee with the objective to continually improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Hub Phase II plan, including implementation and development of QbDD and the CCS DataFactory has commenced in early 2021 and will continue to end of 2023. A plan for dissemination and translation of the research outputs to the Tier1 partners is in place and supported by the Hub from October 2022 to September 2024. CMAC received a supplement of additional funds(Oct 2022-March 2023) which was used to accelerate research delivery and completion of key collaborative research papers, and to support an early career researcher training event. |

Title: A micro-XRT Image Analysis and Machine Learning Methodology for the Characterisation of Multi-Particulate Capsule Formulations Authors: Frederik J. S. Doerr and Alastair J. Florence Journal: International Journal of Pharmaceutics Accepted Date: 18/11/2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpx.2020.100041 Abstract: The application of X-ray microtomography for quantitative structural analysis of pharmaceutical multi-particulate systems was demonstrated for commercial capsules, each containing approximately 300 formulated ibuprofen pellets. The implementation of a marker-supported watershed transformation enabled the reliable segmentation of the pellet population for the 3D analysis of individual pellets. Isolated translation- and rotation-invariant object cross-sections expanded the applicability to additional 2D image analysis techniques. The full structural characterisation gave access to over 200 features quantifying aspects of the pellets' size, shape, porosity, surface and orientation. The extracted features were assessed using a ReliefF feature selection method and a supervised Support Vector Machine learning algorithm to build a model for the detection of broken pellets within each capsule. Data of three features from distinct structure-related categories were used to build classification models with an accuracy of more than 99.55% and a minimum precision of 86.20% validated with a test dataset of 886 pellets. This approach to extract quantitative information on particle quality attributes combined with advanced data analysis strategies has clear potential to directly inform manufacturing processes, accelerating development and optimisation. |

Florence Journal: Pharmaceutical Research Accepted Date: 28/09/2020 DOI: (tbc) Abstract: Purpose Spray drying plays an important role in the pharmaceutical industry for product development of sensitive bio-pharmaceutical formulations. Process design, implementation and optimisation require in-depth knowledge of process-product interactions. Here, an integrated approach for the rapid, early-stage spray drying process development of trehalose and glucagon on lab-scale is presented. Methods Single droplet drying experiments were used to investigate the particle formation process. Process implementation was supported using in-line process analytical technology within a data acquisition framework recording temperature, humidity, pressure and feed rate. During process implementation, off-line product characterisation provided additional information on key product properties related to residual moisture, solid state structure, particle size/morphology and peptide fibrillation/degradation. Results A psychrometric process model allowed the identification of feasible operating conditions for spray drying trehalose, achieving high yields of up to 84.67%, and significantly reduced levels of residual moisture and particle agglomeration compared to product obtained during non-optimal drying. The process was further translated to produce powders of glucagon and glucagon-trehalose formulations with yields of >83.24%. Extensive peptide aggregation or degradation was not observed. Conclusions The presented data-driven process development concept can be applied to address future isolation problems on lab-scale and facilitate a systematic implementation of spray drying for the manufacturing of sensitive bio-pharmaceutical formulations. |

Expressions of interest can be made via the contact email: researchdataproject@strath.ac.uk Title: Quantitative Investigation of Particle Formation of a Model Pharmaceutical Formulation using Single Droplet Evaporation Experiments and X-Ray Tomography Authors: Frederik J. S. Doerr, Iain D. H. Oswald, Alastair J. Florence Accepted Date: 18/09/2018 DOI: 10.1016/j.apt.2018.09.027 Abstract: The implementation of a particle design platform that can be applied to novel pharmaceutical systems using acoustic levitation (SAL) and X-ray tomography (XRT) is discussed. Acoustic levitation was employed to provide a container-less particle design environment for single droplet evaporation experiments. Dried particles were subject to further visual and quantitative structural analysis using X-ray tomography to assess the three-dimensional volume space. The workflow of the combined SAL-XRT platform has been applied to investigate the impact of increasing HPMC K100LV concentrations on the evaporation, drying and final particle morphology of particles from a model pharmaceutical formulation containing metformin and D-mannitol. The morphology and internal structure of the formulated particles after drying are dominated by a crystalline core of D-mannitol partially suppressed with increasing HPMC K100LVadditions. The final structure can be correlated to the observed evaporation kinetics. The characterisation of formulated metformin hydrochloride particles with increasing polymer content demonstrated the importance of an early-stage quantitative assessment of formulation related particle properties. The ability to study the evolution of solid phase formation and its influence on the final particle morphology can enable the selection of formulation and process parameter that deliver the desired particle structure and consequent performance by design. |

| Title | Data for:"Microfluidic-assisted silk nanoparticle tuning" |
| Description | The current manufacture of silk nanoparticles using desolvation method is time-consuming and lack ability to tune nanoparticle characteristics. Over the last decade, microfluidics has been developed which enables to manipulate particle properties by fine-tuning process parameters such as the total flow rate and flow rate ratios. Our aim was therefore to manufacture silk nanoparticles by desolvation using the NanoAssemblrTM microfluidic setup. All datasets for each figure provided in separate zipped folders.

| Title | Dataset for "Continuous flow for materials synthesis, assembly and crystallisation at Diamond: discovery and delivery of high value materials" |
| Description | Continuous crystallisation of the model system Carbamazepine (CBZ) in ethanol in the KRAIC-D (Kinetically Regulated Automated Input Crystalliser - Diffraction) platform on beamline I11 (high resolution powder diffraction) is presented. The effect of introducing a controlled solid interface into the crystallisation process is investigated, where CBZ form III seeds are introduced in polymorphic purity at different seeding positions (pre- and post-nucleation) throughout the length of the KRAIC-D. The video associated with Chapter 4 corresponds with a post-nucleation CBZ form III experiment where a separation of crystal habit is observed as a result of the different interaction with the flow paths in the solution slugs with the segmented flow. The second device is the KRAIC-S (Kinetically Regulated Automated Input Crystalliser - Single Crystal) platform installed at I19 (small molecule single crystal beamline) employed to investigate the continuous crystallisation of paracetamol (PCM) in 60:40 water:isopropanol via a range of experiments including unseeded and seeded cooling crystallisations. The unseeded experiments also looked at the crystallisation at different set points along the KRAIC-S (6.7 m and 8.7 m) to investigate crystal growth and crystal rotation at different length scales. The videos associated with Chapter 5 include single crystals produced from the range of experiments investigated. Each video tracks a different single crystal in a solution slug, where through use of the slug triggering mechanism, whereby an optical trigger prompts translation of the motorised stage to artificially suspend the single crystal in the X-ray beam during data collection. These videos complement the diffraction data and can provide explanation for data collections, which do not achieve cell indexation as the single crystal is shown to move in and out of the X-ray beam in these videos. |

| Title | Model-based solvent selection for integrated synthesis, crystallisation and isolation processes |
| Description | We present a systematic process-wide solvent selection tool based on computer-aided mixture/blend design (CAMbD) (Gani, 2004) for the integrated synthesis, crystallisation and isolation of pharmaceutical compounds. The method proposed simultaneously identifies the solvent and/or antisolvent mixture, mixture composition and process temperatures that optimise one or more key performance indicators. Additionally, the method entails comprehensive design specifications for the integrated process, such as the miscibility of the synthesis, crystallisation and wash solvents. The design approach is illustrated by identifying optimal solvent mixtures for the synthesis, crystallisation and isolation of mefenamic acid. Furthermore, a multi-objective CAMbD problem is formulated and shows that a mefenamic acid with purity of 98.8% can be achieved without significant loss of process performance in terms of the solvent E-factor. |

| Title | Supplementary information files for A framework for systematic crystal shape tuning - case of Lovastatin's needle-shaped crystals |
| Description | © the authors, CC-BY 4.0Supplementary files for article A framework for systematic crystal shape tuning - case of Lovastatin's needle-shaped crystalsOne of the most important challenges in the pharmaceutical industry is to produce crystals with desired size and shape distributions, to enhance the critical quality attributes of the drug product, such as efficacy, and to improve manufacturability during downstream processing, such as filtration, drying and granulation. The paper provides a framework for effective crystal shape and size tuning, based on a systematic exploration of standard techniques, such as the linear cooling and supersaturation control (SSC), and novel methods based on the systematic combination of several techniques, namely direct nucleation control (DNC), wet milling, SSC and shape modification additives. The crystallization of lovastatin, which is notorious for its challenging needle-shaped crystals, with an extremely high aspect ratio, was used as a case study, and polypropylene glycol (PPG-4000), at different concentrations, was used as an effective shape modifier from small-scale tests studied previously. The proposed techniques were implemented in the case of seeded and unseeded systems. It was demonstrated that the combination of temperature cycling and polymer additive enhances greatly the control over the aspect ratio and crystal size distribution, compared to conventional linear cooling and SSC strategies. The implementation of wet milling at the beginning of the process, or the introduction of seeds, enhances even further the control of the critical quality attributes of the crystalline product. |

| Results and Impact | The 3rd CMAC-MIT International Symposium on Continuous Manufacturing of Pharmaceuticals (ISCMP) brought together pharmaceutical company end users, suppliers, regulators and academics building on how research groups, globally, might collaborate more to help drive continuous manufacture and guide the way in which new technologies and approaches in the pharmaceutical industry can transform quality, cost and service for the benefit of the patient. A key objective of the 2018 meeting was to address business, regulatory and technological barriers to increase the rate of integration of continuous manufacturing into process development. Thus, emphasis placed upon regulatory with modelling and process validation as high priority areas, in addition to business cases. The London based event had excellent attendance across the board with 300 delegates and attracted many regulatory bodies including FDA, EMA and PMDA with Dr Janet Woodcock, M.D., Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research delivering the keynote. A key output from this is a White Paper, which will be published in the forthcoming year (2019/2020). |

| Results and Impact | Continuous flow chemical reactor manufacturer Laminar Co Ltd (Jungwon-gu, Republic of Korea), represented in the UK and Ireland by Analytik Ltd (Cambridge, UK), have joined the CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub as tier 2 members from October 2020. Laminar manufactures the world's first commercially available chemical reactors which utilise Taylor Fluid Flow to synthesize high-purity, uniform substances. The patented design chemical reactors use a jacketed cylindrical vessel with a central, rotating agitation bar to produce Taylor Flow mixing along the length of the vessel resulting in 3-times faster mass flow transfer compared to tank type reactors. The partnership will see the first Taylor Flow Reactor installed in the UK at CMAC's Technology Innovation Centre (TIC) site in Glasgow, which will initially be studied to greater understand the mechanisms and potential of the technology, explore new syntheses and be benchmarked against existing processes. The CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub brings together a research team at Strathclyde, as well as other leading academic groups and an array of industry partners to address the urgent need to translate new molecules into high-value products through rapid predictive development pathways and integrated continuous manufacturing systems. Analytik announced a partnership with Laminar to distribute their Taylor Flow Reactors in the UK and Ireland in 2019. Specialists in providing and supporting pioneering technology, it will oversee the installation of a Tera3100-HC Laminar Continuous Taylor Reactor (LCTR®) at CMAC in early 2021, as well as provide ongoing technical and service support over 3 years. Speaking about the membership, Ian Laidlaw, Managing Director at Analytik said "We are delighted to be joining the CMAC Future Manufacturing Research Hub and excited to be facilitating the first LCTR® chemical reactor installation in the UK. This fantastic technology sets a new standard for high yield synthesis of high-purity, uniform substances and offers faster, more efficient continuous processing". Professor Alastair Florence, Director of CMAC added "It is a pleasure to welcome Laminar and Analytik to CMAC's community. This partnership brings exciting new opportunities for our research team to work with this unique Taylor Flow Reactor platform to explore the potential for this advanced technology across reaction, work-up, purification and particle engineering for pharmaceutical systems. This technology will extend our Digital Twin and MicroFactory platforms for continuous manufacturing and create real benefits and impacts to our stakeholders though enabling faster process and product development and reducing the cost and environmental impact of medicines manufacture."
