Chemical strategy development

From the foregoing it will be clear that in fine chemicals process development the strategy differs profoundly from that in the bulk chemical industry. The major steps are (i) adaptation of procedures to constraints imposed by the existing facilities with some necessary equipment additions, or (ii) choice of appropriate equipment and determination of procedures for a newly built plant, in such a way that procedures in both cases guarantee the profitable, competitive, and safe operation of a plant. 

Under contract to the Systems and Strategy Development Division of the OAQPS/EPA, Systems Applications developed and applied modeling methods for the estimation of human exposure and dosage from airborne materials. The model is intended for a screening analysis of the impacts of chemicals under EPA review as potentially hazardous by the definitions of the NESHAPS program. 

The state institutions can also offer orientation (in so far as this is done on the basis of a far-reaching discourse within society). This includes the development of a national chemicals strategy, for example, or the publication and specialised validation of priority substance lists that require special attention when designing products and processes. 

To overcome this weakness, we are developing a quantitative structure-activity strategy that is conceptually applicable to all chemicals. To be applicable, at least three criteria are necessary. First, we must be able to calculate the descriptors or Independent variables directly from the chemical structure and, presumably, at a reasonable cost. Second, the ability to calculate the variables should be possible for any chemical. Finally, and most importantly, the variables must be related to a parameter of Interest so that the variables can be used to predict or classify the activity or behavior of the chemical (j ) One important area of research is the development of new variables or descriptors that quantitatively describe the structure of a chemical. The development of these indices has progressed into the mathematical areas of graph theory and topology and a large number of potentially valuable molecular descriptors have been described (7-9). Our objective is not concerned with the development of new descriptors, but alternatively to explore the potential applications of a group of descriptors known as molecular connectivity indices (10).

These requirements have stimulated the research for new chemical strategies of coupling, and in particular for linkers that are easily cleaved. These include esters, lisosomotropic peptides that are stable in plasma but cleavable inside the cells by cathepsins [37], and spacers that can be directly cleaved under acidic conditions or by anchimeric assistance such as ds-citraconic acid amides or hydrazones derivatives [38]. Furthermore, pro-drug approaches or trimethyl lock systems have been developed where the carrier is cleaved in two steps, initially by water or enzymes and later by a chemical mechanism [39]. 

Extensive research has focused on the synthesis of structurally modified sialic acid derivatives and sialylmimetics as probes or potential inhibitors of specific sialic acid-recognizing proteins, and several comprehensive overviews have been published [26, 30-34], An underlying theme in efforts directed toward the development of novel sialic acid derivatives as biological probes is the complexity of the chemical manipulations associated with sialic acids [30, 32], The chemical strategies and conditions for sialylation are discussed in Chapter 5. 

To understand why the current New European Chemicals Strategy has been proposed, the development of chemicals legislation within Europe must first be considered. 

Asia-Europe Strategy for Co-operation in Capacity-building in Risk Assessment and Management of Chemicals in Developing Countries... 

The ideas behind the adoption of a new EU chemicals strategy was laid out in a 2001 EC Communication on a Strategy for a Future Chemicals Policy (COM (2001) 88). This document took stock of the system that existed at the time and called for a new strategy based on a system for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals - REACH. The Communication set out seven objectives that needed to be balanced within the overall framework of sustainable development ... 

The Netherlands Highly developed national chemicals strategy - Dutch chemicals strategy available in English - Dutch strategy considered when devising the Systems Framework (Chapter 6)... 

By focussing on filling the gaps in hazard data for chemicals on the EU market, the European Commission White Paper for a future EU Chemicals Strategy completely overlooked four fundamental questions, developed in Box 5.2. 

As indicated above, the barrier to prolyl cis—trans isomerization is the resonance stabilization energy that is possessed by the C-N imide bond. The task of a prolyl isomerase is, therefore, to develop an enzymatic-chemical strategy that will result in the lowering of this barrier. When one reflects on the strategies that might be used by an enzyme, one realizes that there are two general mechanisms catalysis by distortion and nucleophilic catalysis (see Scheme V).
