Abstract

Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys and chimpanzees) that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976.Most species of ebolavirus and the only known species of virus occur in Africa. Primates are infected sporadically from an unknown source; current evidence suggests that the reservoir hosts are probably bats. Humans seem to become infected directly from bats in caves, as well as when they contact tissues from infected apes and other species. Once the virus has entered the population, it can spread from person to person. Some epidemics affect hundreds of people and decimate entire villages, particularly where hospital facilities and medical supplies are inadequate and nosocomial spread occurs. Although the mortality rate varies, the most pathogenic viruses kill up to 90% of those who become infected. No vaccine is available, and the only treatment is supportive.

Abstract

Cross contamination is one of the major problems focused in manufacturing of drugs utilizing common facility which leads to inferior quality of final product and cause considerable loss to the company. Contamination of one batch product with significant levels of residual active ingredients from a previous batch and contamination by microorganisms are the real concern. Cleaning and decontamination is one of the major and critical activity in pharmaceutical operations. The concept of purity and safety are directly related to the cleaning operations. Cleaning programmers are necessary simply to prevent our manufactured products from being contaminated. These are cross-contamination of one product into another , product contamination by a foreign material and microbial contamination The cleaning validation is a documented process that proves the effectiveness and consistency cleaning of pharmaceutical equipments to meet the regulatory requirements. Manufacturing of paracetamol and other tablets utilizing common facility, where paracetamol could be a possible cross contaminant. Hence the present study was carried out to validate the cleaning activity from both regulatory and quality prospective. Visual inspection, Swab sampling for chemical residue and for microbiological analysis were carried out to validate cleaning activity and results from all methods were complying with acceptance criteria.

Abstract

Dosage form used to deliver drug via lungs can be used to treat asthma, COPD, or Diabetes, For formulation of such dosage form require dry powder with very short list of expedients such as stabilizer, solubilizer, property modifier ( flow enhancer ) For which different secondary processing parameter are been carried out such as milling , spray drying, lyophilization. Now in today market different type of container are been packing for dry powder inhaler there are also been different evaluation test for the DPI.

Abstract

Documented evidence with a high degree of assurance that a process will consistently produce product, meeting its predetermined quality attributes is nothing but a process validation. In short process validation is checking of reproducibility of result. The critical process parameter was identified and evaluated by challenging its lower and upper release specification. The three process validation batches (PVB1, PVB2, PVB3) of same size, method, equipment and validation criteria was taken. The critical parameter involved in blending, compression, coating for our Ranitidine tablet were identified and evaluated as per the validation master plan. From the result we have found that in the same environmental condition there was no significant batch to batch variation and all the parameter studied were in accordance with the BMR.

Abstract

Fast dissolving tablet are the novel dosage form which is well accepted now a days by geriatric and pediatric patients because it does not need water to swallow. The aim of the present article is to study the natural polymers and the formulation approach of mouth dissolving tablets. MDTs are solid dosage forms containing medicinal substances which disintegrate rapidly, usually in a matter of seconds, when placed on the mouth. New MDT technologies address many pharmaceutical and patient needs ranging from enhanced life-cycle management to convenient dosing for pediatric, geriatric, and psychiatric patients with dysphagia. This has encouraged both academia and industry to generate new orally disintegrating formulations and technological approaches in this field. The aim of this article is to review the development of MDTs, challenges in formulation, new MDT technologies, evaluation methodologies, suitability of drug candidates, and future prospects.

Keywords
