Factors Affecting Dissolution: Drug Permeability, Stability and Stereochemistry01:20

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Drug Permeability, Stability and Stereochemistry

248
Orally administered drugs primarily enter the systemic circulation via passive diffusion through the intestinal membranes. The drug's absorption is influenced by drug stability in the gastrointestinal GI tract, membrane permeability, the surface area available for absorption, luminal drug concentration, and residence time in the lumen. Drug permeability can be enhanced by adjusting the lipophilicity, polarity, or molecular size of the drug, promoting its passive transport across intestinal...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

131
Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

157
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Noncompartmental Analysis: Mean Transit, Absorption and Dissolution Time01:02

Noncompartmental Analysis: Mean Transit, Absorption and Dissolution Time

144
When drugs are administered extravascularly, a comprehensive evaluation through noncompartmental analysis becomes imperative. This analytical approach considers various parameters that play a crucial role in understanding the pharmacokinetics of these drugs.
One of the key parameters is the mean transit time (MTT), which refers to the total duration required for drug molecules to transit through the body. MTT is determined by calculating the ratio of the area under the moment curve to the area...

Model-Independent Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Noncompartmental Analysis

111
Noncompartmental analyses offer an alternative method for describing drug pharmacokinetics without relying on a specific compartmental model. In this approach, the drug's pharmacokinetics are assumed to be linear, with the terminal phase log-linear. This assumption allows for simplified analysis and interpretation of the drug's behavior in the body.
One important characteristic of noncompartmental analyses is that drug exposure increases proportionally with increasing doses. This...

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Pharmaceutical Parameters

179
Solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules undergo rigorous manufacturing processes to ensure stability and effectiveness. Their dissolution and absorption properties are influenced significantly by the choice of excipients (inactive ingredients that serve various roles in the formulation), and the methodology applied during production. The manufacturing parameters, such as compression force and granulation techniques, significantly affect dissolution rates. Elevated compression forces...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Science
  • Drug Development
  • Regulatory Affairs

Background:

  • International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines establish global standards for pharmaceutical stability testing.
  • ICH stability studies assess drug substance thermal stability and moisture sensitivity under defined storage conditions.
  • Conventional ICH stability testing is rigorous, time-consuming, and requires extensive preclinical data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare conventional ICH stability studies with Accelerated Predictive Stability (APS) approaches.
  • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of both stability testing strategies.
  • To discuss stability requirements for industrially fabricated medicines versus extemporaneous compounding formulations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established ICH stability testing protocols (long-term, intermediate, accelerated).
  • Analysis of Accelerated Predictive Stability (APS) methodologies utilizing extreme conditions over shorter durations.
  • Comparative assessment of data generation timelines and resource requirements for both methods.

Main Results:

  • ICH stability studies involve long-term (≥12 months), intermediate (≥6 months), and accelerated (≥6 months) testing under specific temperature and humidity conditions.
  • APS studies predict long-term stability in a significantly shorter timeframe (3-4 weeks) using extreme temperature and RH conditions.
  • APS offers a more efficient alternative for predicting pharmaceutical product stability compared to conventional ICH methods.

Conclusions:

  • APS presents a novel, efficient approach to predict long-term pharmaceutical stability, reducing time and resources.
  • Understanding the differences between ICH and APS is crucial for optimizing drug development timelines.
  • Stability requirements differ significantly between mass-produced medicines and compounded formulations.
