New Haven ACS - Enabling The Oral Absorption of Drug Molecules

Enabling The Oral Absorption of Drug Molecules

Dr. Roy Haskell, PhD

Executive Director, Formulation R&D

Arvinas, New Haven CT

The weak overlap between the physicochemical space that affords therapeutic utility and that which permits effective oral absorption is well-known and much-discussed.  In addition to enabling the presenter’s and many other physical scientists’ employment in the pharmaceutical industry, it is also responsible for the development of solubilization technologies capable of producing systemic exposure of lipophilic, insoluble compounds.  Nanoparticles, self-emulsifying lipid systems, and amorphous dispersions are considered increasingly mainstream technologies to bring such molecules to the marketplace.  This presentation will discuss the basics of these approaches as well as the strategies used for their implementation in compound design, selection, and development.  This will be done through the presentation of background material and specific case studies of their use and just as importantly, their misuse.

Tissue Imaging Mass Spectrometry Symposium at Yale School of Public Health

Tissue Imaging Mass Spectrometry Symposium

Thursday, October 19, 2017

Winslow Auditorium, Room 109, LEPH, 60 College St, New Haven, CT 06510
10 AM - 5 PM

Tissue imaging mass spectrometry permits high-resolution spatial localization of metabolites, proteins and drugs within tissue sections in situ, allowing assessment of metabolic changes at the cellular level. When mass spectrometry images are overlaid onto conventional histology images it is possible to determine the molecules that correlate with tissue pathology, cell type, drug distribution and toxicity. This technique is particularly applicable to cancer research where molecules can be characterized with tumor cells and their microenvironment, allowing direct therapeutic effects to be assessed. Please join the Yale School of Public Health for this symposium, that will explore advances and challenges in tissue imaging mass spectrometry.

"Capillary Liquid Chromatography At Ultra-High Pressure"

Abstract: With operating pressures in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 bar in Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC), particles around 1 micron size should be close to optimum for separations of small molecules. Larger molecules such as peptides and proteins should bene t from even further reductions in particle size. We are beginning to determine some of the underlying structural causes of poor column e ciency, and have discovered how to pack e cient capillary columns with porous silica-based reversed phase particles down to 1 micron diameter. Methods for the slurry packing of micron-sized particles will be described. The correlation of several characteristics of the packed bed structure with column performance will be discussed.

We have also recently become interested in porous graphitic carbon as an alternative stationary phase to silica-based reversed phase for lower molecular weight substances, especially some of the more polar metabolites encountered in metabolomics. Graphitic carbon exhibits extraordinary levels of retention for polar organic compounds, which enables the preconcentration of these compounds on-column, as well as improving their prospects for separation. Preliminary results on the use of porous graphitic carbon in capillary LC will be described.

Bio: James Jorgenson was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1952. He received his undergraduate education at Northern Illinois University where he received a B.S. in Chemistry in 1974. Following this he entered graduate school at Indiana University, where he worked in the research group of Professor Milos Novotny, and received a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1979. His Ph.D. research concerned two principal areas; the identication of mammalian pheromones, and the development of new detection schemes for liquid chromatography.

Dr. Jorgenson joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry in 1979. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1985, Professor in 1987, appointed the Francis P. Venable Professor of Chemistry in 1994, and William Rand Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemistry in 1999. He was Chair of the Chemistry Department from 2000 to 2005.

Among the honors he has received are the American Chemical Society Analytical Division Award in Chemical Instrumentation (1992), the Martin Medal of the Chromatographic Society (1992), elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1992), the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography (1993), the Golay Medal (1994), the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award in Separation Science (1995), the Torben Bergman Medal of the Swedish Chemical Society (1996), the Anachem Award (1996), the Dal Nogare Award (1998), the Esselen Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest (2004), the Pittsburgh Conference Analytical Chemistry Award (2005), the American Chemical Society Award in Analytical Chemistry (2007), elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2007), the Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry (2011), and the Csaba Horvath Memorial Award (2016).

Professor Jorgenson is one of the originators of capillary electrophoresis, with his rst publications on this topic appearing in 1981. His current research interests include ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography, multidimensional separations, and microscale separations coupled to mass spectrometry.
