Impurity Profiling in Pharmaceuticals: Analytical Methods and Compliance
Ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceutical products requires a thorough understanding of the impurities that may be present throughout the development and manufacturing process. These impurities, even at trace levels, can compromise therapeutic performance or pose risks to…
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) Studies in Drug Development: From ADME Principles to Translational Applications
Understanding how a drug behaves in the body and how it exerts its therapeutic effects is essential for developing safe and effective treatments. From early discovery to regulatory approval, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) are core disciplines that help characterize…
Pharma Quality Control Strategies for Drug Development and Regulatory Compliance
In pharmaceutical development, ensuring that products consistently meet predefined standards of identity, strength, purity, and quality it’s essential. As drug candidates move from early research through commercial production, robust pharma quality control strategies become the backbone of safe, effective, and…
Preclinical Research in Drug Development: From Toxicology to Translational Insights
Before a new compound can be administered to humans, it must undergo a rigorous process to ensure its safety, efficacy, and pharmacological profile. This process begins with preclinical research, a critical phase in the drug development process that bridges the…
ICH Guidelines for Analytical Method Validation: Principles, Requirements and Industry Applications
In pharmaceutical development, validating analytical methods goes further than regulatory formality. It is a critical component of ensuring reliable, reproducible, and scientifically sound data. The ICH guidelines method validation framework, updated through ICH Q2(R2) and the complementary Q14 guideline on…
ICH Q3 Impurity Guidelines: Analytical Strategies for Safer Drug Development
Impurities in pharmaceuticals can compromise the safety, efficacy, and stability of a product. To safeguard public health, global regulatory authorities such as the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) have established frameworks to…
Analytical Priorities in Drug Development: How Preclinical Data Shapes Regulatory Success
The preclinical research phase in the drug development process involves the extensive evaluation of candidate compounds before clinical trials. Through a combination of in vitro, in silico, in chimico, and/or in vivo studies, researchers assess the pharmacological activity, safety, and…
Quality Control in Biotechnology: Ensuring Safety in the Biologics Manufacturing Process
The use of biologics has grown exponentially in the last decade, driven by advances in genetic engineering, a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms, and an increasing demand for targeted therapies with fewer side effects. These treatments, developed from living organisms,…
ICH Q3E Guideline: Impurities Assessment and Control
The safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products largely depend on controlling impurities in their formulations. Therefore, the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) has developed various guidelines, with the upcoming ICH Q3E guideline…
