On the other hand, all conventional deuteration processes are batch-type deuteration methods using organic synthesis processes, and the complexity and cost of treatment methods and processes have been an issue.<br \/>\nThe laboratory has developed a deuterium-labelled compound flow synthesis system that can be processed at ambient pressure and room temperature, using a process that does not involve organic synthesis and does not produce a large amount of waste and demonstrated deuterated pharmaceutical.<br \/>\nTo be specific, the device concept is to supply heavy water (D2O) and a proton source to the anode side of the proton-conducting membrane and a compound to be deuterated to the cathode side of the proton-conducting membrane by means of a new membrane-type reactor with electrodes attached to the proton-conducting membrane. Nafion and graphene oxide membranes are currently used as proton-electric membranes. Deuterium-labelled compounds are electrochemically synthesized by energizing a proton-conducting membrane, whereby the proton source and heavy water are electrochemically oxidized as H+\/D+ on the anode side and react with the deuterated compound as D+\/D2 that passes to the cathode side via the proton-conducting membrane.<br \/>\nThe system can contribute to the research and development\/manufacturing stages of a wide range of pharmaceuticals, allowing high-performance pharmaceuticals to be considered.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-4157\" src=\"http:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-1024x398.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-1024x398.png 1024w, https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-768x298.png 768w, https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-1536x597.png 1536w, https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-2048x796.png 2048w, https:\/\/bionauts.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ON-04951-1200x466.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Researcher<\/h2>\n<p>Kumamoto University \u00a0Department of Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry\u00a0 Professor Testuya Kida<\/p>\n<h2>Patent<\/h2>\n<p>Pending\uff08International phase, unpublished\uff09<\/p>\n<h2>Publication<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acs.nanolett.3c04243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acs.nanolett.3c04243<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Development Phase<\/h2>\n<p>Current stage:<br \/>\nWe have obtained a POC for a deuterated system with prototype equipment.
