Abstract

Catalysis is the key technology for the development of green processes for the industrial production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The design of green, efficient and cost competitive industrial process of idarubicin, erlotinib and ivermectin shows the central role of catalysis.

Riassunto

La catalisi: tecnologia fondamentale per it design di processi industriali a basso impatto ambientale nell'industria farmaceutica. La catalisi è la tecnologia fondamentale per lo sviluppo di processi industriali «green», efficienti e a basso costo per la produzione di idarubicina, erlotinib e ivermectina, dimostra il ruolo centrale dei processi catalitici.
