Case Study 1: Production of key building block for cancer drugs
Current Production
Highlights:
- 5 steps, <10% overall yield
- Key enzymatic resolution step requires dilute condition, very cost-inefficient
- Starting material is prohibitively expensive ($2000/kg)
- Only one supplier in the world, maximum supply size <10 kg
Radiant Production
Highlights:
- Inexpensive starting material, asymmetric chemistry route
- Demonstrated on >100 kg in pilot plant
- Significant cost savings (>80% cost reduction)
