DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “6-Hour Virtual Seminar on Developing a Clinically or Bio- Relevant Drug Dissolution Method and Establishing Plasma Drug Profiles” webinar has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Drug dissolution testing is an essential and critical step for appropriate and efficient product development such as tablet and capsule. A number of approaches are used to conduct dissolution testing using different apparatuses and methods. Making a choice for an appropriate apparatus and method has always been confusing and challenging.
This seminar will provide relevant pharmacokinetics and physiological background so that making this choice becomes easier and instinctive. No prior knowledge of pharmacokinetic and/or physiology is required; however, these will be explained in very simple terms to help attendees in selecting or developing a dissolution method. This seminar will describe in detail theoretical aspect of the drug dissolution testing including method development.
Pros and cons of different approaches will be explained in detail.
Furthermore, drug dissolution testing is extensively conducted to provide an estimate/prediction of expected drug levels in humans. Commonly, concepts of convolution/deconvolution and in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) are described in this respect, unfortunately with limited success. Difficulties and limitations of the currently suggested approaches will be highlighted.
This seminar will provide details of the underlying scientific principles involved in convolution, deconvolution and IVIVC techniques with simple practical examples. In this regard, a unique and simple approach based on convolution technique using spreadsheet software will be described.
Why you should attend:
Pharmaceutical product developments and assessments require extensive use of in vitro drug dissolution testing for predicting plasma drug levels. Often such testing are presented in isolation (independent to their physiological link or relevance), however, this seminar will train attendees for developing these techniques using the principles of pharmacokinetics and physiology.
The seminar will provide unique opportunity to learn scientifically valid drug dissolution testing and establishing plasma drug levels.
It would be an unmatched opportunity to learn from an internationally recognized leader of the subject. A must attend seminar for anyone involved in product developments and assessments of solid oral dosage forms!
Who Should Attend:
Anyone working as bench chemist/analyst, supervisor, managers, director or vice president in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, including laboratories and associated contract organizations, of innovator and generic companies for human and animal products, in the following areas:
- Pharmaceutical Development
- Setting up analytical methods (pharmacopeial, regulatory or in-house developed)
- R & D, both analytical and formulation
- Project Management
- Quality Control
- Quality Assurance
- Regulatory Affairs
Key Topics Covered:
Physiological and Pharmacokinetic Principles:
- Dissolution and related physiological terms: Drug absorption, permeation, relevant GI tract environment
- Pharmacokinetic terms: plasma drug concentration-time profiles/curves, rates of absorption and elimination, Cmax, Tmax, half-life, AUC, apparent volume of distribution, bioavailability/bioequivalence, etc.
Drug Dissolution Testing:
- What is drug dissolution Testing and Why to conduct such tests?
- Drug Dissolution vs Drug Release Testing
Dissolution Testing Apparatus:
- Dissolution Method Developments
- Selection of dissolution apparatuses/medium
- Bio/clinical relevant methods vs QC method
- Discriminatory vs non-discriminatory dissolution methods
Linking Dissolution Results to Plasma Drug Levels:
- Concepts of convolution, deconvolution and in vitro in vivo correlation (IVIVC), their requirements and (un)suitability for predicting plasma drug levels
- Requirements for appropriate and relevant dissolution results
- Convolution vs deconvolution methods which one to use and why?
- Converting dissolution results into plasma drug levels/profiles
- Practical application with step-by-step instructions
