A two-day workshop on the "science behind pharmaceutical stability" was held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) on Oct. 21-22, 2011 in Washington, DC.
This article describes the approach used to upgrade a chromatography data system. The upgrade was required to meet the current regulatory requirements for good laboratory and good manufacturing practice. Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records and electronic signatures was also a major consideration. The procedures used for this project followed the software development life cycle (SDLC) and involved the co-ordination of personnel from the software vendor, the user department, information technology and quality assurance.

The industry lacks an accepted method for establishing a minimum incubation time (MIT) of less than seven days for biological indicators (BIs). The authors propose an MIT method that provides a means for reproducible determination of BI grow-out time.
A look at elastomer changeout times shows how industry knowledge improves operations and cost.
Working together affords many unseen opportunities for pharmaceutical innovation.
The author discusses current expectations in bioprocessing and lays a framework for using NMR to enhance a QbD approach.
The author discusses potential opportunities to improve the patient experience through formulation and delivery device technologies.
Consideration of the key process variable will define the ease with which coating processes can be transferred from development to production. This study investigates those factors influencing atomization from two spray guns and examines how development-scale procedures on interchangeable drum coating equipment compare with those typically used in a production environment.
Almost half of pharmaceutical industry profits continue to come from biopharmaceuticals.
The electronic tongue technology provides a technically suitable and cost-effective method for screening and directing taste formulation, while eliminating both safety concerns and subjective bias.
Continuous manufacturing is key to the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
In Part II of a three-part article, the authors examine impurities from chiral molecules, polymorphic contaminants, and genotoxic impurities.
IQ Consortium representatives explore and define common industry approaches and practices for applying GMPs in early development.
The FDA guidelines that stipulate the conditions for starting materials are currently being superseded. PhRMA and several European pharmaceutical manufacturers have already added their voices to the ongoing discussion and, as this editorial explains, the debate is far from over. Rules are important, but industry is looking to a future when health care authorities are less inclined to impart total control over every aspect of production.
The authors discuss opportunities for energy efficiency in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Soluplus®, a graft copolymer of PEG comprising polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl caprolactam, was specially designed to solubilize poorly water-soluble drugs.

Enterprise quality management systems can help shift the quality emphasis from corrective to preventive actions.
Cleaning validation provides assurance that the quantity of residual substances collected from equipment surfaces are within permissible limits, helping to ensure quality control and safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Three different cleaning validation methods for measuring the carbon in residual samples of various pharmaceutical substances were compared.
