For shorter approval times: New process simulates decomposition of too long stored drugs in 15 minutes

New approach represents a paradigm shift in the application of mechanochemical processes in organic chemistry

31-May-2023 - Before their approval, pharmaceuticals not only have to be tested for their effectiveness and safety, but also for their stability, since they are usually stored in pharmacies and private households for years and are not allowed to change. To test their stability, a process is needed that ...
