LCZ696 is a novel treatment for patients
suffering from heart failure
that combines the two active pharmaceutical ingredients sacubitril
and valsartan in a single chemical compound. While valsartan is an
established drug substance, a new manufacturing process suitable for
large-scale commercial production had to be developed for sacubitril.
The use of chemocatalysis, biocatalysis, and flow chemistry as state-of-the-art
technologies allowed to efficiently build up the structure of sacubitril
and achieve the defined performance targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
