Module 1: Potential Impurities | Current developments for organic impurities in small molecule APIs and respective medicinal products
Impurities in small molecule active ingredients, excipients, medicinal products and packaging materials are important attributes in the assessment of quality and safety of medicinal products - this applies to all phases of the product life cycle. Not least the contamination by nitrosamines has changed regulators view of the subject and today we have to deal with the subject more intensively. Impurities are "on the move", applicants and marketing authorization holders need to anticipate potential impurities and to subsequently identify, specify and qualify respective compounds. This applies to projects with new products, but also to specific occasions, such as the renewal of marketing authorisations, the sourcing of new active substances and excipients, changes in production and site transfers.
Who should attend?
The course will provide an update on the current state of the art for the control of impurities in medicinal products with small molecules as API. It will provide a best practice guide how to control impurities and to avoid them by using appropriate approaches.There will be room for questions of the participants:
- People in charge for development of synthesis and control strategy for small molecule APIs
- People in charge for pharmaceutical development and control of medicinal products
- Regulatory Affairs Personnel
- Heads of quality control
- EU Qualified Persons
Module 1: Potential Impurities
Duration about 90 minutes
In recent years, our view of how to deal with impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients has changed fundamentally. On the one hand, it is of essential importance that today it is expected to anticipate already during pharmaceutical development, but also in case of changes in manufacturing or site transfers, which "potential impurities" could arise and whether they could get into the medicinal product and thus pose a risk to the patient. In order to answer this question, it is necessary to carry out a product-specific assessment and to establish the necessary experimental data. This context is presented in Module 1 of the training.
- Synthesis by-products and degradation products of API
- Concept of related substances
- What are potential impurities?
- Impurity assessment
- Control strategy for impurities
Key learning outcomes of the whole series
