Abstract The use of in silico predictions for the assessment of bacterial mutagenicity under the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) M7 guideline is recommended when two complementary (quantitative) structure-activity relationship (Q)SAR models are used. Using two systems may increase the sensitivity and accuracy of predictions but also increases the need to review predictions, particularly in situations where results disagree. During the 4th ICH M7/QSAR Workshop held during the Joint Meeting of the 6th Asian Congress on Environmental Mutagens (ACEM) and the 48th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society (JEMS) 2019, speakers demonstrated their approaches to expert review using 20 compounds provided ahead of the workshop that were expected to yield ambiguous (Q)SAR results. Dr. Chris Barber presented a selection of the reviews carried out using Derek Nexus and Sarah Nexus provided by Lhasa Limited. On review of these compounds, common situations were recognised and are discussed in this paper along with standardised arguments that may be used for such scenarios in future.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a new, rapid, robust, effective, inexpensive, and accurate UV-Vis method for the quantification analysis of carbamazepine (CBZ) in the carbamazepine-loaded microparticles.Methods: CBZ was encapsulated in ethyl cellulose microparticles by a solvent evaporation method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a stabilizer. Methanol was used to dissolve CBZ followed by dilution with distilled water as diluent. CBZ drug, excipients, and microparticles were subjected to specificity, solution stability, linearity, precision and accuracy to confirm and ensure the validity of this method.Results: The results showed no interference from the excipients in the selected wavelength 286 nm. It was exhibited linearity in the range 2-12 μg/ml with R2 = 0.9992. CBZ solution was stable during 24 h. Accuracy and precision were within the accepted limits (100±2%). All results were in accordance to the ICH-Q2 guideline.Conclusion: As a conclusion, CBZ could be quantified from loaded EC microparticles using UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 286 nm. Therefore, this method can be used for the quantification analysis of CBZ in CBZ-loaded microparticles can be utilized also as an alternative method to calculate CBZ in different dosage forms.

A qualidade de processos industriais farmacêuticos e como obtê-la é um tema de grande interesse na indústria farmacêutica, principalmente no que diz respeito a sua padronização. Com a normatização dos guias de boas práticas farmacêuticas e a padronização das práticas, passou a ocorrer uma maior preocupação, inclusive governamental, com o que seria qualidade e como alcançá-la. O objetivo deste trabalho foi reunir os principais guias de referência e as práticas utilizadas como indicadores de qualidade na indústria farmacêutica. Para tanto, foram selecionados 21 trabalhos obtidos por meio de pesquisa em bancos de dados disponíveis online, além de guias de referência de organizações internacionais, como Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) e International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Após a organização e a leitura do material selecionado, foram descritas algumas práticas de qualidade atualmente utilizadas na indústria farmacêutica: gestão de risco, quality by design, ações corretivas e preventivas, lean manufacturing, sistema de qualidade total e séries ISO. Apesar de existir uma regulamentação bastante completa e atual acerca de indicadorese práticas de qualidade em indústria farmacêutica, as publicações não relatam informações específicas e experiências práticas da implementação desses sistemas de qualidade, dificultando assim, exemplificar melhor como essas estratégias influenciam positivamente no gerenciamento das indústrias farmacêuticas.

AbstractToxic volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), such as chloroform, are widely used in polymer manufacture in the field of implants and polymeric drug carriers. Several processes have to be carried out in order to remove toxic VOCs for patient safety without changing the thermal characteristics of the polymers. Therefore, we analyze the common commercial implant polymer poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and screen different annealing- and rinsing processes considering influence on their morphology and thermal properties. For PLLA a rinsing step followed by annealing results in acceptable chloroform contents according to the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) recommendations. Annealing processes reveal the lowest chloroform content after one day, which did not further decrease significantly with extended annealing time.

Difference spectroscopic method is based on the principle that tolperisone hydrochloride can exhibit two different absorption spectra in basic and acidic medium. A stock solution (1 mg/ml) was prepared with distilled water. Further dilution was made by using 0.1 N sodium hydroxide and 0.1 N hydrochloric acid separately. The maxima and minima in the difference spectra of tolperisone hydrochloride were at 231nm and 263nm, respectively. Difference in absorbance between these maxima and minima was calculated to find out the amplitude. This amplitude was plotted against concentration. Linearity was found in the concentration range of 10-50µg/ml. The LOD and LOQ of tolperisone hydrochloride were found to be 0.064µg/mL and 0.196µg/mL respectively. The percentage recovery study of the drug for the proposed method was found in the range of 99.31 - 99.94% for tolperisone hydrochloride. The proposed method is recommended for routine analysis since it is rapid, simple, precise and accurate.

Objective: The objective of the study was to develop a simple, validated, and affordable visible spectrophotometric method for determination of piperacillin (PIP) present in bulk and powder for injection formulation. Methods: In the present method, cobalt thiocyanate (CTC) was used as a chromogenic reagent where it forms 2:1 ion pair complex at pH 2 with PIP which is having secondary and tertiary amine groups. Results: The formed bluish-green colored ion pair between PIP and CTC is quantitatively extractable into nitrobenzene with an absorption maximum of 665 nm. Regression analysis (r=0.9996) shows that the plotted calibration curve exhibits good linearity in the studied range of concentration (3–18 μg/mL). Low values of relative standard deviation (<2%) were observed indicating that the proposed method is reproducible, accurate, and precise. Conclusions: As per the existing guidelines of ICH (international council for harmonization of technical requirements for pharmaceuticals for human use), various parameters of the proposed method were tested for validation and can be used method of choice for routine analysis in industrial quality control laboratories, especially in developing countries.

A novel, simple, accurate, sensitive, precise and economical derivative spectroscopic method was developed and validated for the determination of cefadroxil and probenecid in synthetic mixture. First order derivative spectroscopy method was adopted to eliminate spectral interference. The method obeys Beer’s Law in concentration ranges of 4-36 μg/ml for cefadroxil and of 5-25 μg/ml of probenecid. The zero crossing point for cefadroxil and probenecid was 260 nm and 237.8 nm respectively in 0.1N HCl. The method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limits of detection, limits of quantitation. This method has been successively applied to synthetic mixture and no interference from the synthetic mixture’s excipients was found.
