Pharmaceutical Forced Degradation (Stress Testing) Endpoints: A Scientific Rationale and Industry Perspective

Forced degradation (i.e., stress testing) of small molecule drug substances and products is a critical part of the drug development process, providing insight into the intrinsic stability of a drug that is foundational to the development and validation of stability-indicating analytical methods. There is a lack of clarity in the scientific literature and regulatory guidance as to what constitutes an “appropriate” endpoint to a set of stress experiments. That is, there is no clear agreement regarding how to determine if a sample has been sufficiently stressed. Notably, it is unclear what represents a suitable justification for declaring a drug substance (DS) or drug product (DP) “stable” to a specific forced degradation condition. To address these concerns and to ensure all pharmaceutically-relevant, potential degradation pathways have been suitably evaluated, we introduce a two-endpoint classification designation supported by experimental data. These two endpoints are 1) a % total degradation target outcome (e.g., for “reactive” drugs) or, 2) a specified amount of stress, even in the absence of any degradation (e.g., for “stable” drugs). These recommended endpoints are based on a review of the scientific literature, regulatory guidance, and a forced degradation data set from ten global pharmaceutical companies. The experimental data set, derived from the Campbell et al. (2022) benchmarking study,1 provides justification for the recommendations. Herein we provide a single source reference for small molecule DS and DP forced degradation stress conditions and endpoint best practices to support regulatory submissions (e.g., marketing applications). Application of these forced degradation conditions and endpoints, as part of a well-designed, comprehensive and a sufficiently rigorous study plan that includes both the DS and DP, provides comprehensive coverage of pharmaceutically-relevant degradation and avoids unreasonably extreme stress conditions and drastic endpoint recommendations sometimes found in the literature.

Development and Validation of Simple UV- Spectrophotometric Method for Estimation of Diclofenac Sodium

Analytical method validation is the process of proving or documenting that an analytical method produces data that can be used for what it was made for. The main goal of an analytical procedure is to get results that can be repeated and can be trusted and are good enough for the intended purpose. An effective and simple method was developed and validated for quantitative analysis of Diclofenac sodium by using UV Visible Spectroscopy. The absorption maxima (λmax) were found to be 275nm by using Distilled Water as Solvent. The λmax 275nm was used for the whole study. The linearity range was 8-16 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9969. The method was precise and robust with a %RSD less than 2%. The solution was found to be stable up to 4 hours. The proposed method was accurate and specific as per ICH guidelines (Q2).

Quality by Design Approch Based in Analytical Method Validation

The materials of the article provide data on the export of domestic grain, oil crops and their processing products, the commodity structure of the export of domestic agricultural products and a dozen export countries during the operation of the grain corridor from March 2022 to August 2023. The main requirements for modern laboratories and their functions are listed. The components of a comprehensive analytical approach to assessing the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds according to modern international requirements are presented. It has been established that, in addition to the technical and economic component, the activities of complex laboratories are affected by a large number of technological limitations, among which an important place is occupied by the problems of quality control of test results. Today, the functioning of native laboratories that assess the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds has some of shortcomings that may affect the effectiveness of testing activities. In particular, there is a lack of a unified approach to addressing systemic requirements, a large number of regulators, conflicting requirements, and limited international harmonization. The requirements of industry regulations and contract specifications pose challenges for laboratories. All of this emphasizes need to develop a universal adaptive technological system for quality control of integrated laboratories for assessing the quality and safety of grains and oilseeds. The main components of quality management of laboratories for quality assessment of grains and oilseeds are considered and analyzed. It was found that only 11% of accredited domestic laboratories can comprehensively meet the current demand for conformity assessment services for agricultural raw materials. Based on the analysis, a roadmap of quality management components of laboratories for quality assessment of grains and oilseeds was developed. The development of such guidelines will help to meet diverse requirements and systematically demonstrate competence in line with current needs. Processes such as analytical method validation, measurement uncertainty assessment, metrological traceability, and accreditation support require significant financial investments.

Global Dynamics of Fractional-Order Discrete Maps

In this paper, global dynamics of fractional-order discrete maps is analyzed by an extended generalized cell mapping (EGCM) method. Considering the lack of valid global analysis methods, the EGCM method is used to explore the global dynamics for fractional-order discrete maps. Firstly, considering the slowly convergence speed of solution of fractional-order discrete maps, the one-step mapping time of the EGCM method should be sufficient long to guarantee the precision of the results. Secondly, global dynamics of three typical fractional-order discrete maps is analyzed by the EGCM method. The stable and the unstable invariant sets can be obtained by the method. The results confirm their previous results, and furthermore obtain the global dynamics in the interesting region which includes attractors, saddles, basin boundaries and domains of attraction. These indicate that the EGCM method is also valid and efficient for fractional-order discrete maps.

Validation Study on Developed Methods for Anions and Bromic Acid in Various Mineral Waters by Ion Chromatography

Five kinds of anions namely fluoride, chlorate, chlorite, nitrate and nitrite ions, and bromic acid were determined in various mineral waters (MWs), and the methods were validated. MWs are varying in the degree of hardness and contents of carbonate. When the five anions were measured based on the official method of tap water, the peak shape of fluoride ion in MWs with high degree of hardness was different from the standard solution, making it difficult to determine. The same phenomenon was also observed when bromic acid was measured. In order to achieve accurate determination, five-fold dilution with ultrapure water was carried out on the samples. With the additional step, the abnormal peak of both analytes was improved, and no difference in the retention times between standard and sample solutions was observed. The validation tests were performed using the developed methods with the additional diluting step, and the results of all target substances met the criteria of the guideline on analytical method validation for MW in Japan. Our results suggested that the methods we developed could be useful for the accurate determination of the anions and bromic acid in various MWs on the market.

Flow Cytometry Method Validation Protocols.

Analytical method validation provides a means to ensure that data are credible and reproducible. This article will provide a brief introduction to analytical method validation as applied to cellular analysis by flow cytometry, along with practical procedures for four different types of validation. The first, Basic Protocol 1 (the limited validation protocol), is recommended for research and non-regulated laboratories. Next, Basic Protocol 2) presents a reasonable, fit-for-purpose validation approach appropriate for biopharma and research settings. Basic Protocol 3 addresses the type of validation performed in clinical laboratories for moderate-risk tests developed in house. Finally, Basic Protocol 4 describes the process that should be applied whenever a method is being transferred from one facility to another. All four validation plans follow the fit-for-purpose validation approach, in which the validation parameters are selected based on the intended use of the assay. These validation protocols represent the minimal requirement and may not be applicable for every intended use such as high-risk clinical assays or data to be used as a primary endpoint in a clinical trial. The recommendations presented here are consistent with the white papers published by the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists and the International Clinical Cytometry Society, as well as with Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute Guideline H62: Validation of Assays Performed by Flow Cytometry (CLSI, 2021). © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: Limited validation Basic Protocol 2: Fit-for-purpose validation for biopharma and research settings Basic Protocol 3: Validation for moderate clinical risk laboratory developed tests Basic Protocol 4: Transfer validation.
