PHYSIOLOGICAL AND FORMULATION CONSIDERATIONS 02 15

16

1.PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATION 1.A-pH consideration For maximum physiological acceptability, the target pH is 7.4 In IV route --- wide range can be tolerated and rapid dilution with blood achieved In IM route --- 2-12 range can be tolerated and slower dilution rate Tolerability depends on its buffering capacity. APPROVED BUFFERS IN THE PARENTERAL PRODUCTS BUFFER pH RANGE Acetate 3.8-5.8 Ammonium 8.25-10.25 Ascorbate 3.0-5.0 Benzoate 6.0-7.0 Citrate 2.1-6.2 Diethanolamine 8.0-10.0 17

1.B-TONICITY CONSIDERATION All parenteral product should be isotonic osmolarities should target b/w 280-290 m Osmo/L during a formulation. For LVPs Isotonicity is very essential. Either the rapid dilution with blood that will occur after injection. To avoid the tissue damage parenteral formulations should be isotonic with human plasma . TONICITY ADJUSTMENT METHOD 18

2.A-CHOICE OF EXCIPEINTS 2.B-PHARMACOKINETICS OF DRUGS In parenteral product the quality, particularly in microbial term of excipients should be considered The injectable grades are usually used for parenteral excipients It should have strict bio burden and endotoxin limit. Excipients of pharmacopeial grade also acceptable. The absorption rate for route of administration, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drug have effect based on formulation. There may be need of modified or sustained released formulation. 2.FORMULATON CONSIDERATION 19

2.C-DRUG SOLUBILITY 2.D- DRUG STABILITY The solubility of a substance at a given temperature is the concentration of the dissolved solute in a saturated solution. The formulation must contain co-solvents which sufficiently increase and maintains the drug in the solution. To enhance solubility of drug -solubilizers such as surfactants and complexing agents used Stability determine the storage condition and drug expiring date If the drug posses significant degradation problems in the solution ,then freeze dried or sterile solid dosage form should be developed. All parenteral are required to be stable under predetermined manufacturing, storage and usage conditions Sterile dosage forms need to maintain chemical and physical stability throughout its shelf-life 20

2.E-DRUG-EXCIPIENT COMPATIBILITY 2.F-SUITABLE CONTAINERS The main challenge of all parenteral is to achieve a good compatibility of drug substance with excipients No formation of new impurities either by degradation of the drug substance Formation of new chemical entity between drug substance and excipient. The compatibility of preparation with primary container (Leachable/adsorption to containers) is always a prime concern Plasticizers used to keep plastic flexible may lead to leaching as it may interact with some drug and solution Suitable containers must be selected which protect the product, allow inspection of the content, permit shipping and storage and convenient for clinical use 21

CITY WATER SAND FILTER PRIMARY SOFTNER DECHLORINATOR POLISHER (SECONADARY SOFTNER) REVERSE OSMOSIS STORAGE TANKS MULTIPLE EFFECT STILL CLEAN STEAM GENERATOR COOL LOOP HOT LOOP WFI SYSTEM 29

OPERATION ON WATER USE Prefiltration To remove iron and any suspended matters. Activated carbon beds For removal of chlorine and organics. Water softening by ion-exchange To remove alkaline earth metals, calcium and magnesium thus minimize the formation of scale deposits De-chlorinator (sodium metabisulphite and carbon banks) To remove chlorine from water. Flocculating agent To remove suspending agent pH adjustment to 6.0-6.5 To reduce scale deposits. UV-radiation To suppress the microbial growth. 30

REVERSE OSMOSIS PRE-TREATMENT OF WATER The separation of solutes from water by applying pressure on more concentrated solution in contact with semi-permeable membrane to give less concentrated solution . Solutes may be charged(ions) or neutral (organics). CHARGED PARTICLES Excluded due to interfacial tension at the water membrane interface ORGANICS Excluded by sieve mechanism Higher the size or molecular weight efficiency of exclusion increases. 31

32

DISTILLATION The continuous process of heating water to its boiling point in a confined environment so that the steam formed can be passed through a separator The action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling. The process of removal of impurities from the liquid by continuous heating above 100 °C and cooling simultaneously. This aid killing of microorganism. Phase change would leave all the impurities behind producing pure water vapour The vapour is condensed to liquid water Filtered and stored in a chemical resistant stainless steel tank at a cold temperature around 5°C or elevated temperature above 80°C to inhibit microbial growth and pyrogen formation. 33

QUALITY STANDARD FOR WFI QUALITY STANDARD HOW MEASURED SPECIFICATION Inorganic content Water conductivity at 25 °C < 1.3 µs/cm Organic content Total organic carbon <0.5 mg/L Pyrogen content LAL <0.25 EU/ml Microbial content Total bacterial count <10 CFU/10 ml 35

2.EXCIPENTS / ADDITIVES ADDITIVES CHARACTERISTIC EXAMPLE ANTI-OXIDANT Prevent degradation of therapeutic agent due to oxidation Ascorbic acid, sodium bisulphite BUFFER To maintain pH thus result stability Ideal is 7.4 Acetate buffer, sodium citrate STABILIZERS Parenteral are prone to unstable, so used to stabilize the formulation Glycerin, sodium saccharin SOLUBILIZING AGENT Used to increase solubility Act as solubilizer emulsifiers & wetting agent Ethanol, PEG-300, polysorbate 20,40,80 TONICITY ADJUSTER To maintain tonicity with body fluids Glycerin, mannitol, dextrose, sorbitol PROTECTANT To prevent the loss of activity of therapeutic agents Sucrose, trehalose 36

STABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS The chemical nature of the materials are varied, so storage requirement and stability characteristics are different. Heat, light, moist and air can adversely affect materials over a period of time. Containers for the drug substance important factor to stability consideration Organic materials Sensitive to heat Natural fats and oils Double bond react with Oxygen to form peroxides Amino acids and proteins adversely affected by heat, light, air and moisture Hydrated substance Pickup moisture from environment Basic materials Absorb carbon dioxide from air 37

3.CLEANING OF CONTAINERS AND EQUIPMENTS Equipment and containers are thoroughly cleaned with detergent and washing with →tap water →clean distilled water →WFI Rubber closures and glass bottles are cleaned in mechanical equipment which is heated electrically Detergent are mostly used for cleaning the rubber closures This rubber closures are washed first with water autoclave rinse second time with preservatives • Equipment's are mostly disassembled and each parts are thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned Two types of rinsers Rotary type rinser. Convey type rinser 38

4.FILTRATION The separation of undissolved particles from a liquid by passing a solution through a septum/porous medium that allows the liquid to pass but retains the particles. 39

IDEAL FILTER 40

GENERALTYPES OF FILTERS BASED ON SIZE OF PORES IN MEMBRANE FILTER TYPE SIZE RANGE (µm) USED TO REMOVE PARTICLE 10-200 Pollen ,particles, some bacteria MICRO-FILTER 0.1-10 All bacteria, yeast, colloids ULTRA-FILTER 0.001-0.1 Most viruses, large organic compounds NANO-FILTER Less than 0.001 Small organic compounds, ions BASED ON BEHAVIOUR WITH WATER FILTER TYPE EXAMPLE HYDROPHOBIC Millex filter HYDROPHILIC Durapore hydrophilic cartridge filter 41

TYPES OF FILTRATION SCREEN FILTERATION(SURFACE FILTRATION) It is a screening action by which pores or holes of the medium prevent the passage of solids. Mechanism -straining and impingements. Plates with holes or woven sieves are used. 42

DEPTH FILTRATION CAKE FILTRATION The slurry penetrates to a point where the diameter of solid particles greater than that of the void or channel. Mechanism -entanglement It is extensively used for the removal of small amount of contaminants from relatively large volume of liquids. A filter consist of a coarse woven cloth which a concentrated suspension of rigid particles is passed so that they bridge the holes and form bed The particles will be held back, while liquid passes through the small interstices. 43

44

DESTRUCTIVE TESTING To qualify the filter initially BACTERIAL RETENTION TEST The filter is challenged to known population of microorganism using conditions that simulate the actual process Conditions that simulated: 1.Filtration pressure and flow rate 2.Duration of filtration process 3.Temperature 4.Same filter type and configuration 45

PRODUCT–FILTER COMPATIBILITY & FILTER EXTRACTABLES It is performed by filter manufactures The filter manufacturers provide information on the flush volume required to yield –ve oxidizable substance Provide the data on the level of extractables obtained with different solvent exposure. Filter material must be compatible with the chemical nature of liquid being filtered. Potential filter extractables: oligomers , mold releasing agent, antioxidants, wetting agent, plasticizers, cartridge body and O-ring material 46

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING Performed prior to and after using the filter in batch production IN PROCESS FILTER INTEGRITY TESTING Prior to actual filtration of the product, filter should be flushed either with product/ WFI to reduce potential extractables and downstream particles. Filter then subjected to filter integrity test ( Pre-filtration filter integrity test ) and after the solution is filtered, the filter is again subjected to 2 nd filter integrity test ( Post-Filtration filter integrity test ) 47

48

BUBBLE POINT TEST The pressure at which bubbling occurs downstream of filter is called bubble point 49

P-minimum pressure when bubbling occurs d-pore diameter -contact angle between solid and liquid S-correction factor   .s   50

DIFFUSION TEST Q .k   Q-diffusion flow A-membrane surface area L-effective length -differential pressure -porosity K-diffusivity   51

PRESSURE DROP TEST WATER INTRUSION TEST It is applied to large surface area filters P-maximum allowed pressure drop D-rate of diffusion V-volume of system upstream t-time Patm- atmospheric pressure   To detect quality of hydrophobic filters   Intrusion(ml/min)   Water under pressure is forced to intrude into pore matrix Pressure drop from volume increases is converted into water flow rate 52

5.CONTAINERS AND CLOSURES GLASS CONTAINERS Type-II glasses are generally employed. Glass IV bottles are packed with vacuum, sealed with a solid rubber closure and closure is held in place by aluminium band. Glass are both brittle and fragile Bottles must be withstand in internal and external pressure generated in autoclaving 53

PLASTIC CONTAINERS Available in different sizes-Most common 250, 500 and 1000ml Flexible LVP made of : 1.polyethylene 2.polypropylene 3.polyvinyl cellulose 4.polyamide 5.polycarbonate 6.Ethylene vinyl acetate 7.elastomers ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Non-fragile Weight less Less storage space same drugs absorb plastics Some drugs and solutions leach a plasticizer out of the plastic, the plasticizer included to keep it flexible 54

RUBBER CLOSURES Design may range from the simple solid uniform stopper to a complex stopper containing holes, depression, wells and undercut’s. The most common rubber polymers used are natural and butyl rubber. Rubber permits entry of hypodermic needle into Injection vials and provide re-sealing of the vials after needle is withdrawn. 55

6.FILLING High accurate filling are not necessary for LVPs, filling is generally uncomplicated 56

LIQUID FILLING VOLUMETRIC FILLING Employs pistons or peristaltic pumps High speed filling rates When product is sensitive, peristatic pump is used Filling accuracy with 0.5ml fill volume   Chase-logeman filling machine 57

TIME-PRESSURE FILLING NET-WEIGHT FILLING For sterile products A product tank connected to filling system that is equipped with pressure sensor Product flow occurs when tubing is mechanically unpinched and stops when tubing pinched Inova VFX M2428 model It uses piston and gravity fillers It doses the quantity of liquid being filled by measure of weight in dynamic condition VKPAK liquid filling machine 58

7.SEALING The sealing operation, establishes the integrity of the container. The head space above fluid may be flushed with a gas (nitrogen/carbon dioxide) GLASS CONTAINERS The closure system of glass container consist of : 1.A rubber disk to maintain seal under high vacuum 2.An aluminium disk to provide additional security 3.An aluminium ring , which held both aluminium disk tightly against rubber stopper. SEMI-RIGID PLASTIC sealed with a rubber closure as primary seal with plastic over cap. 59

BLOW FILL SEAL (BFS) Accepted by US-FDA It takes only 10-15 seconds to produce one container. 60

FORM FILL SEAL(FFS) Similar to BFS ,this involve formation of large volume bags FORM formation of container FILL filling containers with content SEAL sealing of containers 61
