Researchers have found a new way to make albuterol sulfate, a key part of asthma medicines, using advanced technology. This medicine is on the US FDA’s list of drugs that are in short supply. The new method could help make more of this important medicine, lower its cost, and prevent shortages. The researchers used a special system that includes machines to mix chemicals, tools to check the process, and other solutions to make the medicine. This system can make more than 700 doses per hour. Right now, the usual way to make medicines is in batches, which can cause delays and shortages. The new technology could help make the process better by reducing waste, checking quality in real-time, and lowering costs. The researchers plan to add more parts to the system to make the whole process automatic. This research was published in a science journal called Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
