Pharmaceutical Impurities-An overview Corporate Presentation2017 Pharmaffiliates
Meaning of Impurities – In the scientific parlance • Unwanted chemical entity present in a confined amount in API or FP • Differs in the chemical composition of that API or FP • Present naturally or arises during the manufacturing process • Causes undesirable effect on the pharmaceutical product Corporate Presentation2017 Pharmaffiliates
Sources of impurities – An overview • Unwanted chemicals in API • Unreacted reactants, intermediates, reagents or residual solvents • A degradation product of API or formulation • By products arising during the synthesis of API or formulation Corporate Presentation2017 Pharmaffiliates
Effects of impurities • Change the efficacy of the FP • Harmful effect on human health • Teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects • No therapeutic role and are potentially harmful • Need to be controlled Corporate Presentation2017 Pharmaffiliates
