Guest Lecture on Process Development & Scale-up of API Dr. Mohan Prasad, Head, API R&D at Sun Pharmaceutical Industr ies interacted with

students of School of Basic and Applied Sciences and delivered a talk on Process

Development & Scale-up of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients from a Generic Perspective

on October 09, 2015.

API refers to the active or central ingredient in the

product which causes the direct effect on the disease

diagnosis, prevention, treatment or cure. The growth

in new medical technologies are spurring the demand

for APIs, along with the increased import of raw

pharmaceutical ingredients from emerging markets.

For the development of generic APIs, the role of

pharmaceutical industry is identification of the API

of the drug, development of new synthetic route,

analysis of the API, studies on bio-equivalence,

separation, determination and characterization of

impurities and stability testing of API according to

ICH guidelines.

He apprised the students regarding the developments taking place in the field of Green

chemistry and Flow chemistry. He further added that in future, continuous methods will

proceed over conventional batch methods. It was an enriching experience for students and
