Investigation of Various Impurities in Febuxostat

Febuxostat is a novel, non-purine, selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase for hyperuricemia in patients with gout. It is the first promising substitute for allopurinol in 40 years. Various synthetic routes to febuxostat, as well as polymorphic forms and impurities of the drug, are reported in the literature. The authors have also identified several impurities that result from the synthesis of febuxostat. This article describes the identification and control of all isomeric, carryover, and byproduct impurities of febuxostat and its intermediates.

Using Quality by Design to Develop Robust Chromatographic Methods

The quality-by-design principles used to control process variability are equally important to measurement systems because process variability includes contributions from measurement system variability. The authors use real-life examples from drug development projects to outline how an understanding of chromatographic measurement system variability might be achieved.

Should Pharmaceutical Companies be Putting their Heads in the Cloud?

Despite concerns over regulation and data protection, cloud computing is entering the world of pharmaceuticals. There are good reasons why the cloud might suit pharmaceutical companies-greater efficiency, lower costs, the ability to take data in the public domain and mesh it with private data sets-all good reasons to embrace the cloud. But, assuming that the regulatory concerns can be overcome, is the cloud what it appears to be?
