Syllabus -

1. Class overview and goals to be reached, introduction of the program and lecturers, new trends in pharma industry

2. Physico-chemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), BCS classification, drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity

3. API solid state screening, relationships among solid forms of API, crystallization

4. Intellectual property: What to patent and why? Rules and strategies in pharma industry

5. API solid form selection based on physic-chemical properties (solid form stability/conversion, chemical stability, solubility)

6. Reverse engineering - analysis of reference drug product using a number of analytical approaches (X-ray powder diffraction, Raman microscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance)

7. Characterization of drug product 1: non-standard analytical approaches, dissolution and stress testing

8. Formulation processes 1a: Description and comparison of various formulation techniques

9. Formulation processes 1b: Description and comparison of various formulation techniques

10. Characterization of drug product 2: what needs to be analyzed to comply with required limits (drug product specification, method development and validation)

11. Formulation processes 2: how to select suitable formulation process and excipients, troubles in developing various products, parameter optimization during scale-up

12. Clinical testing: what are the options, what needs to be done, how to select and set-up clinical study

13. What needs to be done after successfully completed clinical program, scale-up to industrial scale, drug product registration

Short internship (one week) in Zentiva
