Text Book of Product Development and Technology Transfer
Dr Manoj Kumar Katual
The drug discovery and development process is a complex, multi-faceted journey that begins with the identification of potential therapeutic targets and culminates in the approval and marketing of new medications. This process involves several critical stages, including the discovery phase, preclinical research, clinical trials, and regulatory approval. During the preclinical stage, rigorous pre-formulation studies assess the organoleptic properties, purity, impurity profiles, particle size, shape, surface area, and solubility of drug candidates. These studies are essential for understanding the physicochemical characteristics of the drug and for developing methods to enhance solubility, such as using surfactants or co-solvents. The transition from laboratory-scale to commercial-scale production, known as pilot plant scale-up, requires careful planning, design, and execution to ensure that the manufacturing processes are scalable and that the quality and stability of the drug are maintained. Pharmaceutical packaging plays a crucial role in protecting the drug product, ensuring its stability, and facilitating its safe and effective use. Packaging materials must be carefully selected, evaluated, and tested for quality control to meet regulatory standards. Technology transfer from research and development to production involves optimizing processes, ensuring consistent product quality, and thorough documentation to support regulatory submissions.
