The market momentum of novel therapies targeting unmet needs is creating a new landscape for pharmaceutical drug manufacturers. As the focus on these smaller patient pools grows, so does the complexity of drug development. Companies must understand how the molecules filling today’s pipeline are changing our business, as they are causing a dramatic shift in how we plan for and execute drug development and manufacturing.

This application note covers HRAM multi-attribute method for critical quality attribute monitoring and new peak detection, including optimization and application.

This article reviews the dangers of endotoxins and the importance of choosing low endotoxin products for product contact areas.

In this executive summary, experts will present the in vitro dissolution and an in vivo bioequivalence study comparing the performance of the identical formulation of three different drugs in Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus capsules to hard gelatin capsules. In addition, the circumstances under which the same API and formulation contained in HGC and Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus can be expected to provide equivalent performance will be discussed.

The challenges for new drugs looking to enter the market are numerous. But many are self-inflicted – especially in small molecule development. A dangerous perception persists that aside from highly potent APIs, small molecule medications have simple process requirements. The reality, however, is that most APIs will require numerous steps or significant work upfront to avoid development delays, rework or outright failure.

Learn how regulators define temporary data and how to maintain data integrity. Find out what to look for in a LIMS for 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance.

Detecting the presence and depth of penetration of drug compounds in skin can prove challenging, current technologies fail to achieve adequate penetration through layers of dermal tissue. In this study, Raman spectroscopy using the Renishaw Biological Analyser - RA816 confirmed the presence of a topical compound in the epidermis and reticular dermis with high specificity and sensitivity.

This article describes how a Japanese pharmaceutical company successfully implemented the Agilent RapID Raman system for GMP raw material testing through unopened brown paper sacks, and other opaque containers.

This application note covers HRAM multi-attribute method for critical quality attribute monitoring and new peak detection, including optimization and application.

Spray drying continues to gain importance as a preferred manufacturing technology for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). A fast carrier selection allows for a more targeted development process with reduced time to market. EUDRAGIT® polymers have not only been proven to be superior with respect to ASD formations but can also stabilize the amorphous state of the API over storage.
