Abstract Image

Dehydrozingerone (1) is a pungent constituent present in the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and belongs structurally to the vanillyl ketone class. It is a representative of half the chemical structure of curcumin (2), which is an antioxidative yellow pigment obtained from the rhizomes of turmeric (Curcuma longa). Numerous studies have suggested that 2 is a promising phytochemical for the inhibition of malignant tumors, including colon cancer. On the other hand, there have been few studies on the potential antineoplastic properties of 1, and its mode of action based on a molecular mechanism is little known. Therefore, the antiproliferative effects of1 were evaluated against HT-29 human colon cancer cells, and it was found that 1 dose-dependently inhibited growth at the G2/M phase with up-regulation of p21. Dehydrozingerone additionally led to the accumulation of intracellular ROS, although most radical scavengers could not clearly repress the cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Furthermore, two synthetic isomers of1 (iso-dehydrozingerone, 3, and ortho-dehydrozingerone, 4) were also examined. On comparing of their activities, accumulation of intracellular ROS was found to be interrelated with growth-inhibitory effects. These results suggest that analogues of 1 may be potential chemotherapeutic agents for colon cancer

Abstract Image

Series of styryl hydrazine thiazole hybrids inspired from dehydrozingerone (DZG) scaffold were designed and synthesized by molecular hybridization approach. In vitro antimycobacterial activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Among the series, compound 6o exhibited significant activity (MIC = 1.5 μM; IC50 = 0.48 μM) along with bactericidal (MBC = 12 μM) and intracellular antimycobacterial activities (IC50 = <0.098 μM). Furthermore, 6o displayed prominent antimycobacterial activity under hypoxic (MIC = 46 μM) and normal oxygen (MIC = 0.28 μM) conditions along with antimycobacterial efficiency against isoniazid (MIC = 3.2 μM for INH-R1; 1.5 μM for INH-R2) and rifampicin (MIC = 2.2 μM for RIF-R1; 6.3 μM for RIF-R2) resistant strains of Mtb. Presence of electron donating groups on the phenyl ring of thiazole moiety had positive correlation for biological activity, suggesting the importance of molecular hybridization approach for the development of newer DZG clubbed hydrazine thiazole hybrids as potential antimycobacterial agents.

FDA urges companies to get on board with continuous manufacturing

The FDA gave Johnson & Johnson’s ($JNJ) Janssen drug unit the thumbs up last week for the continuous manufacturing process that it has been working on for 5 years.

Just after opening a refurbished manufacturing facility in Cape Town, South Africa earlier this year, pharma giant Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) recently opened the doors to its Global Public Health Africa Operations office there.

The company has invested $21 million (300 million rand) in the facilities. The global public health facility will focus on HIV, tuberculosis and maternal, newborn and child health, South Africa – The Good News reported.

“This (investment) tells us that South Africa has the capability to provide a facility for world-class manufacturing,” Rob Davies, minister of the Department of Trade and Industry told the publication.

Johnson & Johnson, which has operated in South Africa for more than 86 years, planned to close the Cape Town manufacturing plant by the end of 2008 but was persuaded to keep the facility open for local manufacturing to serve sub-Saharan business. By 2015, the plant was cited by J&J as the most-improved in cost competitiveness from 30 company plants worldwide.

Earlier this month, the FDA gave J&J’s Janssen drug unit the go-ahead to proceed with the continuous manufacturing process it’s been working on for 5 years. The agency approved a switchover from batch to the new technology for production of HIV drug Prezista, Darunavir on a line at its plant in Gurabo, Puerto Rico.

A β-adrenoceptor partial agonist potentially for the treatment of coronary heart disease.


CAS No.11041-94-4 (Higenamine hydrochloride)

CAS 5843-65-2(free)

Higenamine (norcoclaurine) is a chemical compound found in a variety of plants including Nandina domestica (fruit), Aconitum carmichaelii (root), Asarum heterotropioides, Galium divaricatum (stem and vine), Annona squamosa, and Nelumbo nucifera (lotus seeds).

Legality

Higenamine, also known as norcoclaurine HCl, is legal to use within food supplements in the UK, EU, the USA and Canada. but banned use in The NCAA. Its main is within food supplements developed for weight management, also known as ‘fat burners’. However, products containing (or claiming to contain) pharmacological relevant quantities still require registration as a medicine. The regulatory boundaries for higenamine are unclear as modern formulations have not been clinically evaluated. Traditional formulations with higenamine have been used for thousands of years within Chinese medicine and come from a variety of sources including fruit and orchids. There are no studies comparing the safety of modern formulations (based on synthetic higenamine) with traditional formulations. Nevertheless, it will not be added to the EU ‘novel foods’ catalogue, which details all food supplements that require a safety assessment certificate before use.[1]

 

Pharmacology

Since higenamine is present in plants which have a history of use in traditional medicine, the pharmacology of this compound has attracted scientific interest. A variety of effects have been observed in in vitro studies and in animal models, but its effects in humans are unknown.

The results of a 2009 study exposed the compound as a β2 adrenergic receptor agonist.[2]

In animal models, higenamine has been demonstrated to be a β2 adrenoreceptor agonist.[2][3][4][5][6] Adrenergic receptors, or adrenoceptors, belong to the class of G protein–coupled receptors, and are the most prominent receptors in the adipose membrane, besides also being expressed in skeletal muscle tissue. These adipose membrane receptors are classified as either α or β adrenoceptors. Although these adrenoceptors share the same messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), the specific transduction pathway depends on the receptor type (α or β). Higenamine partly exerts its actions by the activation of an enzyme,adenylate cyclase, responsible for boosting the cellular concentrations of the adrenergic second messenger, cAMP.[7]

In a rodent model, it was found that higenamine produced cardiotonic, vascular relaxation, and bronchodilator effects.[8][9] In particular, higenamine, via a beta-adrenoceptor mechanism, induced relaxation in rat corpus cavernosum, leading to improved vasodilation and erectile function.

Related to improved vasodilatory signals, higenamine has been shown in animal models to possess antiplatelet and antithrombotic activity via a cAMP-dependent pathway, suggesting higenamine may contribute to enhanced vasodilation and arterial integrity.[2][7][9][10]

Toxicity

Regarding toxicity, researchers have suggested that the levels of higenamine reported in food consumption (estimated 47.5 mg in a 9-ounce serving of Lotus) would be comparable to the amount used in food supplements.[citation needed] Higenamine is a beta-adrenergic agonist which has effects on the function of trachea and heart muscles.[11][12]During a study of acute toxicity, mice were orally administered the compound at a dose of 2 g per kg of bodyweight. No mice died during the study.[13] higenamine is one of the main chemicals in a plant called aconite. Aconite has been shown to cause serious heart-related side effects including arrhythmias and even death. in some sources of HIGENAMINE from certain plants that have Aconite

DSM265 is a long-duration, potent and selective dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)) inhibitor. DSM265 is potential useful for the prevention and treatment of malaria. DSM265 is the first DHODH inhibitor to reach clinical development for treatment of malaria. DSM265 is highly selective toward DHODH of the malaria parasite Plasmodium, efficacious against both blood and liver stages of P. falciparum, and active against drug-resistant parasite isolates. DSM265 has advantages over current treatment options that are dosed daily or are inactive against the parasite liver stage.

Malaria is one of the most significant causes of childhood mortality, but disease control efforts are threatened by resistance of the Plasmodium parasite to current therapies. Continued progress in combating malaria requires development of new, easy to administer drug combinations with broad-ranging activity against all manifestations of the disease. DSM265, a triazolopyrimidine-based inhibitor of the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), is the first DHODH inhibitor to reach clinical development for treatment of malaria. We describe studies profiling the biological activity, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties, and safety of DSM265, which supported its advancement to human trials. DSM265 is highly selective toward DHODH of the malaria parasite Plasmodium, efficacious against both blood and liver stages of P. falciparum, and active against drug-resistant parasite isolates. Favorable pharmacokinetic properties of DSM265 are predicted to provide therapeutic concentrations for more than 8 days after a single oral dose in the range of 200 to 400 mg. DSM265 was well tolerated in repeat-dose and cardiovascular safety studies in mice and dogs, was not mutagenic, and was inactive against panels of human enzymes/receptors. The excellent safety profile, blood- and liver-stage activity, and predicted long half-life in humans position DSM265 as a new potential drug combination partner for either single-dose treatment or once-weekly chemoprevention. DSM265 has advantages over current treatment options that are dosed daily or are inactive against the parasite liver stage.

 

 

A new single-dose malaria drug is offering promise as both a cure to malaria and also a way to prevent the disease according to researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The new drug, which is known as DSM265, kills the drug-resistant malaria parasites in the blood and liver by targeting the ability of the parasites to replicate.

 

malaria

Malaria is a very infectious disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes, and it kills about 600,000 people worldwide every year. Most of the people who are killed by malaria are under 5-years-old, and it’s more common in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost 200 million cases of malaria are reported every year, with about 3 billion people in 97 countries at risk for the disease. Lead author Dr. Margaret Phillips, who is a professor of Pharmacology at UT Southwestern said that this could be the first single-dose cure for malaria, and would be used in partnership with another drug. This drug could also be developed into a once-a-week preventive vaccination as well, and the results of the study were just published in Science Translational Medicine. Not only was UT Southwestern involved in the research study, but Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Australia, the University of Washington, and the not-for-profit Medicines for Malaria Venture was also involved.

 

 

 

Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in human history with 3.2 billion people in 97 countries at risk. An estimated 444,000 deaths from malaria were reported by the WHO in 2015 and ∼90% of these occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, mostly among children under the age of five. Human malaria, which is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito, can be caused by five species of Plasmodia; however, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the most signficant.P. falciparum is dominant in Africa and accounts for most of the deaths, while P. vivax has a larger global distribution.
To simplify treatment options it is desirable that new drugs be efficacious against all human infective species. Malaria is a treatable disease and malarial control programs depend on drug therapy for treatment and chemoprevention, and on insecticides (including insecticide impregnated bed nets) to prevent transmission.
A large collection of drugs has been used for the treatment of malaria, but many of the most important compounds have been lost to drug resistance (e.g., chloroquine and pyrimethamine).Artemisinin combination therapies (ACT) replaced older treatments, becoming highly effective, crucial tools in global efforts that have led to the decline in malaria deaths over the past decade. However, resistance to the artemisinin components (associated with Kelch13 propeller protein mutations has been found in Southeast Asia putting at risk malaria treatment programs. To combat drug resistance a significant effort is underway to identify new compounds that can be used for the treatment of malaria, with several new entities currently in clinical development.
The triazolopyrimidine DSM265  developed by the group is the first antimalarial agent that targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) to reach clinical development, validating this target for the treatment of malaria. DHODH is a mitochondrial enzyme that is required for the fourth step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, catalyzing the flavin-dependent oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotic acid with mitochondrially derived coenzyme Q (CoQ) serving as a second substrate. Pyrimidines are essential for both RNA and DNA biosynthesis, and because Plasmodia do not encode pyrimidine salvage enzymes, which are found in humans and other organisms, the de novo pyrimidine pathway and DHODH are essential to the parasite.
They identified the triazolopyrimidine DHODH inhibitor series by a target-based high throughput screen, and the initial lead DSM1 (2)  was shown to selectively inhibit P. falciparumDHODH and to kill parasites in vitro, but it was ineffective in vivo due to poor metabolic properties. The series was subsequently optimized to improve its in vivo properties resulting in the identification of DSM74 (3), which while metabolically stable lacked potencyX-ray structures of 2 and 3 bound to PfDHODH were then used to guide the medicinal chemistry program in the search for more potent analogues, resulting in the identification of 1.

Abstract Image

Plasmodium falciparum causes approximately 1 million deaths annually. However, increasing resistance imposes a continuous threat to existing drug therapies. We previously reported a number of potent and selective triazolopyrimidine-based inhibitors of P. falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase that inhibit parasite in vitro growth with similar activity. Lead optimization of this series led to the recent identification of a preclinical candidate, showing good activity against P. falciparum in mice. As part of a backup program around this scaffold, we explored heteroatom rearrangement and substitution in the triazolopyrimidine ring and have identified several other ring configurations that are active as PfDHODH inhibitors. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines were shown to bind somewhat more potently than the triazolopyrimidines depending on the nature of the amino aniline substitution. DSM151, the best candidate in this series, binds with 4-fold better affinity (PfDHODH IC50 = 0.077 μM) than the equivalent triazolopyrimidine and suppresses parasites in vivo in the Plasmodium berghei model.

Abstract Image

Drug therapy is the mainstay of antimalarial therapy, yet current drugs are threatened by the development of resistance. In an effort to identify new potential antimalarials, we have undertaken a lead optimization program around our previously identified triazolopyrimidine-based series of Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) inhibitors. The X-ray structure of PfDHODH was used to inform the medicinal chemistry program allowing the identification of a potent and selective inhibitor (DSM265) that acts through DHODH inhibition to kill both sensitive and drug resistant strains of the parasite. This compound has similar potency to chloroquine in the humanized SCID mouse P. falciparum model, can be synthesized by a simple route, and rodent pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated it has excellent oral bioavailability, a long half-life and low clearance. These studies have identified the first candidate in the triazolopyrimidine series to meet previously established progression criteria for efficacy and ADME properties, justifying further development of this compound toward clinical candidate statu

Abstract Image

Malaria persists as one of the most devastating global infectious diseases. The pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) has been identified as a new malaria drug target, and a triazolopyrimidine-based DHODH inhibitor 1 (DSM265) is in clinical development. We sought to identify compounds with higher potency against PlasmodiumDHODH while showing greater selectivity toward animal DHODHs. Herein we describe a series of novel triazolopyrimidines wherein the p-SF5-aniline was replaced with substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl or 2-indanyl amines. These compounds showed strong species selectivity, and several highly potent tetrahydro-2-naphthyl derivatives were identified. Compounds with halogen substitutions displayed sustained plasma levels after oral dosing in rodents leading to efficacy in the P. falciparum SCID mouse malaria model. These data suggest that tetrahydro-2-naphthyl derivatives have the potential to be efficacious for the treatment of malaria, but due to higher metabolic clearance than 1, they most likely would need to be part of a multidose regimen

The role of serotonin and benzamides derivatives and pharmacologically related to many diseases. Therefore, more and more people will focus on the human body produce serotonin, a storage position and the position of serotonin receptors, and to explore the relationship between these positions with a variety of diseases.

Commonly used in clinical cisapride (cisapride) and Mosapride (Tony network satisfied) is one of the novel benzamides drugs.

These drugs mainly through the intestinal muscle between the excited 5-HT neurofilament preganglionic and postganglionic neurons 4 receptor to promote the release of acetylcholine and enhancing cholinergic role in strengthening the peristalsis and contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle. In large doses, it can antagonize the HT-53 receptors play a central antiemetic effect, when typical doses, through the promotion of gastrointestinal motility and antiemetic effect. These drugs can increase the lower esophageal smooth muscle tension and promote esophageal peristalsis, improving the antrum and duodenum coordinated motion, and promote gastric emptying, but also promote the intestinal movement and enhanced features, increase the role of the proximal colon emptying, It is seen as the whole digestive tract smooth muscle prokinetic effect of the whole gastrointestinal drugs.

Mainly used for reflux esophagitis, functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, postoperative gastrointestinal paralysis, functional constipation and intestinal pseudo-obstruction patients. Since there is slight antagonism cisapride the HT-5 3 and anti-D2 receptor, can cause cardiac adverse reactions, prolonged QT occurs, and therefore, patients with severe heart disease, ECG QT prolonged, low potassium, and low blood magnesium prohibited drug. Liver and kidney dysfunction, lactating women and children is not recommended. Due to increase between drug diazepam, ethanol, acenocoumarol, cimetidine and ranitidine the absorption of anticholinergic drugs may also antagonize the effect of this product to promote peristalsis of the stomach, should be aware of when using these, such as when diarrhea should reduce, anticoagulant therapy should pay attention to monitoring the clotting time. Mosapride selective gastrointestinal tract the HT-5 4 receptor agonists, there is no antagonism of D2 receptors, does not cause QT prolonged, reduce adverse reactions, mainly fatigue, dizziness, loose stools, mild abdominal pain , the efficacy of cisapride equivalent clinical effect broader Puka cisapride (prucalopride, Pru) of benzimidazole drugs, with high selectivity and specificity of the HT-5 4 receptor, increasing cholinergic neurotransmitters quality release, stimulate peristalsis reflex, enhance colon contraction, and accelerate gastric emptying, gastrointestinal motility to promote good effect, can effectively relieve the patient’s symptoms of constipation, constipation and for treatment of various gastrointestinal surgery peristalsis slow and weak, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction.

A short and practical synthetic route of a PDE4 inhibitor (1) was established by using Pd–Cu-catalyzed C–H/C–Br coupling of benzoxazole with a heteroaryl bromide. The combination of Pd(OAc)2-Cu(OTf)2-PPh3 was found to be effective for this key step. Furthermore, telescoping methods were adopted to improve the yield and manufacturing time, and a two-step synthesis of1 was accomplished in 71% overall yield.

ICH M7

 


Although relatively quiet in terms of any specific regulatory activities, the last 6 months have seen a plethora of publications that are associated with the ICH M7 guideline. Prominent within these was the Special Edition of Organic Process Research & Development in November 2015. This special edition focused on mutagenic impurities, examining the challenges and also opportunities faced when seeking to implement ICH M7.(5) This was timely as it aligned with the effective date for ICH M7 of January 2016; the guideline when finalized in June 2014 having a defined implementation phase of 18 months. ICH M7 is, in general, a well-written guideline that provides a flexible and pragmatic framework by which the risk posed by mutagenic impurities can be effectively managed. The flexibility provided by the guideline and the opportunities this presents in terms of science and risk based thinking are examined in depth through a series of articles within the special edition.
A tabulated summary of the special edition is described in Table 1.

Table 1

subject highlights authors
Is Avoidance of Genotoxic Intermediates/Impurities Tenable for Complex, Multistep Syntheses? A survey of over 300 synthetic publications in OPR&D over a 10 year period clearly demonstrated that the synthesis of synthetic APIs was untenable without the use reactive, potentially mutagenic reagents/intermediates. That the principle of avoidance was fundamentally flawed Elder, D. P.; Teasdale, A.(6)
Strategies To Address Mutagenic Impurities Derived from Degradation in Drug Substances and Drug Products The paper outlines a strategy for the systematic assessment of the risk posed by mutagenic degradants, describing how this relates to stress testing and long-term stability studies. Within this it seeks to define appropriate thresholds for identification directly related to the extent of degradation Kleinman, M. H.; Teasdale, A.; Baertschi, S. W. et al.(7)
Assessing the Risk of Potential Genotoxic Degradation Products in a Small Molecule Kinase Inhibitor Drug Substance and Drug Product The degradation profile resulting from stress testing of galunisertib is described, focusing on formation of two N-oxides, examining the site of oxidation and the relevance of the pathway under typical storage conditions. Strege, M. A.; Osborne, L. M.; Hetrick, E. M. et al.(8)
Mutagenic Alkyl-Sulfonate Impurities in Sulfonic Acid Salts: Reviewing the Evidence and Challenging Regulatory Perceptions Provides a comprehensive review of the existing evidence relating to sulfonate esters, examining the comprehensive mechanistic and kinetic studies and safety data. It also examines the current regulatory approaches and how this appears misaligned with the data. Snodin, D.; Teasdale, A.(9)
Mutagenic Impurities: Precompetitive Collaborative and Data Sharing Initiatives Examines the nature, impact, and successes of a series of cross industry initiatives covering areas such as structural evaluation (Q)SAR, data sharing–aromatic amines, boronic acids, purging and degradation. Elder, D. P.; Williams, R.; Harvey et al.(10)
Do Carboxylic/Sulfonic Acid Halides Really Present a Mutagenic and Carcinogenic Risk As Impurities in Final Drug Products? Examines evidence that indicates that in the case of both sulfonyl and acyl chlorides that Ames positive results relate to generation of a reactive species, halodimethyl sulphides (HDMSs) through reaction with DMSO and that this is the root cause of a positive response. Confirmatory negative data from other test solvents is also provided Amberg, A.; Harvey, J.; Spirkl, H.-P. et al.(11)
Boronic Acids and Derivatives—Probing the Structure–Activity Relationships for Mutagenicity The primary purpose is to raise awareness of the potentially mutagenic nature of boronic acids and stimulate further discussion/research in the areas. It provides mutagenicity data for some 40+ examples, examining the current status of in silico predictions and postulates a potential mechanism related to oxidation of boronic acids to yield oxygen radicals Hansen, M. H.; Jolly, R. A.; Linder, R. J.(12)
A Kinetics-Based Approach for the Assignment of Reactivity Purge Factors Details an experimental approach that utilizes kinetic analysis to facilitate assignment of reactivity purge values. Betori, R. C.; Kallemeyn, J. M.; Welch, D. S.(13)
A Generic Industry Approach to Demonstrate Efficient Purification of Potential Mutagenic Impurities (PMIs) in the Synthesis of Drug Substances Based on vortioxetine and its associated PMIs predicted purge values based on the system described by Teasdale et al.(15) are compared with experimental values. The results show good correlation concluding that theoretical purge values can be used to predict purging of PMIs. Lapanja N, Zupanĉiĉ B, Toplak Ĉasar R et al(14)
Evaluation and Control of Mutagenic Impurities in a Development Compound: Purge Factor Estimates versus Measured Amounts The purging of MIs associated with the synthesis of MK-8876 were assessed using the approach described by Teasdale et al.(15)These predicted values were compared to measured values and shown to be conservative in comparison to experimental data. McLaughlin, M.; Dermenijan, R. K.; Jin, Y. et al.(16)
Several papers focused on control options, specifically ICH option 4, involving evaluation of the impact of process conditions upon the purging of mutagenic impurities. This concept was first described by Teasdale et al. in 2010(17) and augmented by a cross-industry evaluation published in 2013.(15) The practical use of such tools is examined through two papers, that of Nevenka et al.(14) and McLaughlin et al.(16) This is augmented by a further publication by Welch et al.(13)that describes work now being undertaken by an industry consortium to develop this tool still further as a robust in silico tool (Mirabilis). Welch et al. describe the work being undertaken to fully evaluate the potential fate of MIs under a range of common chemical transformations. A critical finding of these studies, examined through the reaction of benzyl bromide with triethylamine, was alignment between the rate constants and half-lives of the reaction of benzyl bromide with triethylamine in isolation and as a low-level impurity in the TBS protection of benzyl alcohol (Figure 2). This established the proof of concept that the kinetic information obtained from the stand-alone reaction can be used to predict impurity conversion in a more complex reaction.

Another area addressed in the special edition is that of sulfonate esters. This relates to the use of a sulfonic acid, used to form an API salt and the potential formation of sulfonate esters through reaction with alcoholic solvents. Snodin and Teasdale(9) have reviewed the available literature information concluding that the extensive evidence supports the view that such concerns are grossly exaggerated. In parallel to this publication there have been a series of correspondences involving the EMA quality working party, the following points were released following discussion at the CVMP committee.(18)

“The Committee endorsed the QWP response to the EDQM request for an opinion on new information on alkyl sulfonates. The QWP reviewed the article from Snodin et al. QWP acknowledges the scientific rationale in this article and that the formation of alkyl sulfonates is very low and very much depends on the reaction conditions. This makes the presence of these mutagenic impurities at toxicologically significant levels unlikely. However, as the presence and formation of these alkyl sulfonates cannot be totally excluded, QWP proposes the following approach: marketing authorization holders should justify via Risk Assessment that alkyl sulfonates are not expected to be present for their product, which may be sufficient.”

Of concern within this text is the comment that the presence and formation cannot be totally excluded; this is despite the evidence pointing clearly to fact that it can.

Similarly at the end of February EDQM issued a press release relating to the Mesilates Working party.(19) Included within this, as well as information relating to analytical methods, was the following revision of the production statement.

“In addition to the elaboration of these methods, the Ph. Eur. Commission had also decided to revise the Production section of monographs on those active substances to further assist users: “It is considered that [XXX esters] are genotoxic and are potential impurities in [name of the API]. The manufacturing process should be developed taking into consideration the principles of quality risk management, together with considerations of the quality of starting materials, process capability and validation. The general method [2.5.XX] is available to assist manufacturers.”

This also goes on to state that:

“Marketing Authorisation Applicants are not obliged to perform the testing when they can justify via risk assessment that alkyl sulfonates are not expected to be present in their product.”

Although both the QWP deliberation and the EDQM statement fall short of concluding minimal risk, they nevertheless represent for the first time at least tacit recognition that control is possible.

EMA publishes Q&A on data required for sterilized primary packaging materials used in aseptic manufacturing processes

 Uncategorized  Comments Off on EMA publishes Q&A on data required for sterilized primary packaging materials used in aseptic manufacturing processes
May 192016
 

The European Medicines Agency, EMA, recently published questions and answers on what data is required for sterilisation processes of primary packaging materials subsequently used in an aseptic manufacturing process. Read more about “What data is required for sterilisation processes of primary packaging materials subsequently used in an aseptic manufacturing process?“.

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05330_EMA-publishes-Q-A-on-data-required-for-sterilized-primary-packaging-materials-used-in-aseptic-manufacturing-processes_15303,15493,15615,Z-PKM_n.html

The European Medicines Agency, EMA, recently published questions and answers on quality of packaging materials (H+V April 2016):

“3. What data is required for sterilisation processes of primary packaging materials subsequently used in an aseptic manufacturing process?
Terminal sterilisation of the primary packaging, used subsequently during aseptic processing of the finished product, is a critical process and the sterility of the primary container is a critical quality attribute to ensure the sterility of the finished product. Both need to be assured for compliance with relevant Pharmacopoeial requirements for the finished product and product approval.

The site where sterilisation of the packaging materials takes place may not have undergone inspection by an EU authority and consequently may not hold an EU GMP certificate in relation to this activity1. When GMP certification is not available, certification that the sterilisation has been conducted and validated in accordance with the following ISO standards would be considered to provide an acceptable level of sterility assurance for the empty primary container:

  • I.S. EN ISO 20857:2013 Sterilization of Health Care Products – dry Heat – Requirements for the Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices (ISO 20857:2010);
  • I.S. EN ISO 11135:2014 Sterilization of Health-care Products – Ethylene Oxide – Requirements for the Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices (ISO 11135:2014);
  • I.S. EN ISO 17665-1:2006 Sterilization of Health Care Products – Moist Heat – Part 1: Requirements for the Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices, and, ISO/TS 17665-2:2009 Sterilization of health care products — Moist heat — Part 2: Guidance on the application of ISO 17665-1;
  • I.S. EN ISO 11137-1:2015 Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation – Part 1: Requirements for Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices (ISO 11137-1:2006, Including 1:2013);
  • I.S. EN ISO 11137-2:2015 Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation – Part 2: Establishing the Sterilization Dose (ISO 11137-2:2013);
  • I.S. EN ISO 11137-3:2006 Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation – Part 3: Guidance on Dosimetric Aspects.

It is the responsibility of the user of the manufacturer of the medicinal product, to ensure the quality, including sterility assurance, of packaging materials. The site where QP certification of the finished product takes place, and other manufacturing sites which are responsible for outsourcing this sterilisation activity, should have access to the necessary information to demonstrate the ongoing qualification status of suppliers of this sterilisation service. This should be checked during inspections. The Competent Authorities may also decide, based on risk, to carry out their own inspections at the sites where such sterilisation activities take place.

Dossier requirements:

The following details regarding the sterilisation of the packaging components should be included in the dossier:

1. The sterilisation method and sterilisation cycle;
2. Validation of the sterilisation cycle if the sterilisation cycle does not use the reference conditions stated in the Ph. Eur.;
3. The name and address of the site of sterilisation and, where available details of GMP certification of the site. Where the component is a CE-marked Class Is sterile device (e.g. sterile syringe), confirmation from the manufacturer that the component is a Class Is sterile device, together with a copy of the declaration of conformity from the Notified Body will suffice.

In the absence of GMP certification or confirmation that the component is a CE-marked Class Is medical device, certification that the sterilisation process has been conducted and validated in accordance with the relevant ISO standards should be provided.
________________________________________
1Sites located in the EU which perform sterilisation of primary packaging components only are not required to hold a Manufacturer’s/Importer’s Authorisation (MIA). Sites located in the EU, which carry out sterilisation of medicinal products, are required to hold a MIA in relation to these activities.”
