Improved iGAL 2.0 Metric Empowers Pharmaceutical Scientists to Make Meaningful Contributions to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12

Abstract: The large and steadily growing demand for medicines combined with their inherent resource-intensive manufacturing necessitates a relentless push for their sustainable production. Pharmaceutical companies are constantly seeking to perform reliable life cycle assessments of their medicinal products and assess the true value of their sustainable development achievements; however, they find themselves impeded by the lack of a universal metric system that allows for objective quantification of the underlying core d… Show more

“…The product was deemed to be free of residual protein as none was detected by the Bradford assay. In terms of green chemistry metrics, the Complete Environmental Impact Factor (cEF) of this enzymatic process is 65 kg·kg –1 (176 kg·kg –1 , including substrate synthesis), which leads to a relative process greenness (RPG) of 31%. , …”

“…The iGAL can be represented employing eqs and , where mGAL defines the average coproduced waste per unit of average commercial drug FMW. The FMW describes the salt-free MW of API excluding salt, cocrystal, or solvate components. Based on iGAL, the calculation of RPG will be as per the following equation: Roschangar et al proposed an improved model for the metric named iGAL 2.0 to overcome current obstacles related to iGAL. It can serve the purpose of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12, which aims at significantly reducing production waste by 2030 with a vision to catalyze greener API manufacturing around the world.…”

“…The recently introduced iGAL 2.0 model represents a valuable extension to PMI for API manufacturing by putting this efficiency measure into perspective by accounting for molecular complexity and development phases of the APIs . iGAL 2.0 thereby enables quantitative assessment of a Relative Process Greenness (RPG) score to identify potentially underperforming and environmentally concerning processes early in their development cycle and thereby deliver environmental and economic values.…”

“…6 ■ IGAL 2.0 CALCULATOR The recently introduced iGAL 2.0 model represents a valuable extension to PMI for API manufacturing by putting this efficiency measure into perspective by accounting for molecular complexity and development phases of the APIs. 7 iGAL 2.0 thereby enables quantitative assessment of a Relative Process Greenness (RPG) score to identify potentially underperforming and environmentally concerning processes early in their development cycle and thereby deliver environmental and economic values. The metric is complemented by its Scorecard Calculator companion 8 to highlight the impact of innovation on reductions of API manufacturing waste, which enables scientists to readily communicate the value of their work, thereby empowering and inspiring them to make meaningful and significant contributions to global sustainability.…”
