Preservatives are used in a wide field of application to maintain the quality of products. They are used to deal with the chemical, physical and microbiological problems and the constraints of the development of several formulations. In this work, we tested the stability of antimicrobial preservatives which are the parabens under different stress degradation conditions to evaluate their degree of effectiveness. The tested parabens were incubated in different solutions at different pH, Temperatures, light conditions, and presence or absence of sucrose in solution (create a medium similar of syrups). The HPLC was used for the assay, by a validated method for the parabens assay and the statistical analysis of the data is carried out by JMP software. The results show a direct influence of temperature and pH on the level of parabens, while the influence of light remains negligible. The increase in temperature gives a degree of immunity of parabens levels, especially with the extreme values of pH. This study is one of the first studies of forced decomposition of parabens carried out under the various conditions suggested. The results give an idea of the stability profile of the tested parabens and suggest a model of the conditions of conservation and use of these products in different domains and under different conditions.

In twin-roll strip casting process, metal flow and temperature distribution in the molten pool directly affect the stability of the process and the quality of products. In this paper, a 3D coupling temperature-flow finite element simulation during twin-roll strip casting has been carried out, and the influences of the outlet angle and the submerged depth on the temperature and flow fields in the molten pool were investigated for the twin-roll casting of stainless steel. An inverse method was used to determine the boundary conditions between the roll and molten pool. Simulation results are consistent with the experimental values. Numerical simulation is helpful to optimise the twin-roll strip casting process and to improve the quality of products in practice.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate the stability of TRZ against different stressors and to prepare impurity profile for potential impurities and degradation products (DPs) formed under stress degradation of TRZ bulk drug and formulation. Methods: Three analytical methods were developed; the stability-indicating method that was developed using HPLC instrument with 0.01M ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.0 using glacial acetic acid (GAA)) and acetonitrile in gradient program. The second method was a UPLC/ESI-MS method using 0.1 % Formic acid in Milli Q water (pH= 2.70) and 0.1%Formic acid in Milli Q water: Acetonitrile (10:90) in gradient program for identification of TRZ and DPs while the third, preparative HPLC method was used for isolation of impurities using (A) 0.05% ammonia (NH3) in water and (B) Acetonitrile+20% mobile phase A in gradient sequence. Gradient sequences are described in the main text. Results: The analytical method for stability study was developed and validated using ICH (Q2) R1 guidelines. The result of stability study by stress degradation showed that TRZ was susceptible to degradation in acid (7 DPs), alkaline, neutral (9 DPs) and oxidative conditions (10 DPs); major DPs were identified (where it was possible) and the chemical structure was elucidated by combining the data of ESI/MS, NMR and/or Tandem MS. The Impurity profiling was completed by reporting all the DPs, either major or minor for TRZ bulk drug and formulation. Conclusion: The complete Impurity profiling for TRZ is reported for the first time in literature. The study data would be add-on for formulation storage condition and further development.

Bhallataka Taila (Oil) is extracted with the help of Patala Yantra. It is one of the important formulations in Ayurveda pharmaceutics. Shelf life for various dosage forms are described in Ayurveda classics. In the current scenario, the amendment of Rule No. 161-B of the Drugs and Cosmetic Act 1940, specifies the maximum shelf life of Ayurvedic formulations. However, there is a lack of shelf life data for individual for-mulations. Thus, the present study is aimed to evaluate the shelf life of Bhallataka Taila (Oil). Bhallataka Taila (Oil) was extracted following classical guidelines. The sample was subjected to an accelerated stability study maintaining the temperature and humidity 40 +- 2 0C and 75 +- 5 %, respectively. Physico-chemical parameters were analysed at the initiation of the study and at an interval of 1, 3 and 6 months to check the degradation levels in the formulation. Tests for microbial limit and heavy metals were also conducted for the safety and quality of the product. On extrapolating the observations, the shelf life for Bhallataka Taila (Oil) was found to be 4.89 years, which exceeds the shelf life mentioned for Taila (Oil) in official gazettes of the Government of India. This oil preparation does not incorporate any liquid media such as Swarasa (Juice), Kwatha (decoction), etc. as required in any Taila Preparation, resulting in low degradation rate. The oil is rich in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) content and tocopherols, which may contribute to the stability of the oil.

AbstractBackgroundStabilis®is an international database on stability and compatibility of drugs. The stability data comes mainly from publications of pharmaceutical journals. As the quality of the published stability studies is not equivalent, the objective of this work was to propose a level of evidence for the physico-chemical stability studies selected for the database.MethodsAt first, we evaluated the main pharmacological class consulted by the users. This work was then divided into 5 steps: (1) updating of the criteria to validate a stability study, (2) creating a grid rating articles, (3) rating of the articles of stability studies for anticancer, antifungal and antiviral drugs by 2 evaluators, (4) creation of new screens in the database to enter rating, to visualize the pictograms and commentaries by the users, (5) creation of a guideline to explain the different levels of evidence.ResultsThe main pharmacological class consulted by Stabilis®users is the anticancer drugs and then antiinfectives. We have selected anticancer, antifungal and antiviral drugs for our study. Two hundred and forty publications were evaluated. The highest level attributed was A for anticancer and antifungal drugs and C for antiviral drugs. This difference can be explained by the fact that the majority of publications about antiviral drugs were older.The most frequent anomalies in the rating of articles were an incomplete or imperfect validation of the analytical method (high value of the coefficient of variation) and a defect in the evaluation of the stability indicating capacity.It must be noted that the level of evidence is not the quality level of the analytical method but the mixture of the quality of the method validation and of the results. This aspect was a choice of the Stabilis®team and seems important because the security of the patient is impacted by both aspects.ConclusionsThis new function contributes to help the Stabilis®users to evaluate the stability data published and to take a decision for their use in daily practice. This function will be progressively extended to other pharmacological classes of injectable drugs and then for non-injectable preparations.
