Manufacturing process of Tadalafil
Prior to starting the process, confirm the cleanliness of equipment, availability of utilities, and presence of raw materials and packing materials.
The process begins with the addition of a solvent, such as acetone, into the reactor, followed by the charging of the starting materials and reagents for cyclization. The reaction is heated to 50–60°C and maintained for 360–480 minutes, Take in-process sample from reactor and send in-process sample to quality control (QC) for reaction monitoring by HPLC.
After the reaction, the mixture is cooled to 0–5°C, and an anti-solvent is added to crystallize the product. The crystals are filtered and washed with chilled anti-solvent, and the product is dried under vacuum at 40–50°C for 480–600 minutes.
Pack Tadalafil in a clear poly bag and twist the mouth of the bag. Secure it with a PVC strip. Place this bag inside another poly bag, twist its mouth, and secure it with a PVC strip. Insert these bags into a triple-laminated aluminum bag and seal it properly. Finally, place the sealed aluminum bag in an HDPE container. Store Tadalafil in a tightly closed, light-resistant container at a temperature below 30°C.
