• buzzwords

– forced degradation

– stability testing

– stress testing

• interconnected, but not equivalent or interchangeable

www.freethinktech.com 2

• nothing is infinitely stable – entropy!

• determining “mtbf” (mean time before failure)

– electronics industry: how soon can you expect your hard disk to crash, your monitor to go dark?

– automobiles: how soon will the exhaust system or the fenders rust away?

– pharma: when should I throw that old bottle of aspirin away?

teacups

• manufacturing teacups?

• nobody wants to buy a faulty teacup!

• nobody wants it to “fail” soon after purchase

• why test?

– correct manufacturing faults

– set life expectancies

– demonstrate robustness

teacups

• failure modes

– different failure modes

– but all have failed!

teacups

• how to test?

• which tool?

• too much?

How it all fits together

packaging

Current Practices

• ICH guidelines

– degradant = compound resulting from chemical change caused over time by light, temperature, pH, humidity, excipients, etc.

– where the guidelines fall short

• not big on specific details

• subject to individual & regulatory agency interpretation and discretion

• not uniformly interpreted across all countries/marketplaces

freethinktech.com 9

• provides materials used to develop stability-indicating assays

– method that actually differentiates good from bad

– forced degradation products demonstrate that one has a stability-indicating method

• demonstrates product robustness

• set rational shelf life expectations & expiry dates

• safety considerations (toxics or genotoxics?)

• because it’s required!10www.freethinktech.com

• identify condition(s) that induce “failure”

– pH, temperature, humidity, light, time, etc.

• choose rational conditions that induce failure

– how much is enough, how much is too much?

– “little hammer or BIG hammer”

– not too much, not too little

• ~10% to 20% loss of drug substance

• don’t over-degrade and chase unnecessary degradants

How it all fits together

packaging

identifying degradants

• how much “identification” is enough?

– phase-dependent

• early phase: a little bit can be enough

• late phase: the whole enchilada!

• presumptive vs. confirmatory identification

– (relative) retention times, retention indices

– LC-UV vs. LC-MS

– NMR characterization

– synthesis (the final word!) & comparison

freethinktech.com 13

computer-assisted identification?

• Two fundamental approaches

– logic-oriented

• ab initio computation – quantum chemistry

• expert systems– CAMEO, Delphi, Zeneth®

– information-oriented

• databases, algorithms, statistics, examples– Pharma D3® drug degradation database

• 393 drugs, >1200 degradants, literature references

• http://d3.arxspan.com/

– Marvin (ChemAxon), ACD Labs, XLogP, etc.

ab inito – what to compute?

• C-H bond dissociation energies to indicate reactive sites

• some energies change with protonation

in silico predictions

• Zeneth® – logic-based

– knowledge from the literature

– perception of structures & patterns

– prediction based on chemical “rules”

oxidation

• oxygen exposure

– H2O2 (3%) historically used, but not predictive of molecular oxygen reactions

– pressurized oxygen – not very stability-indicating?

• diazene free radical initiators

– drug-excipient interactions?

– excipient-excipient interactions

mechanical processing

• blending with excipients

• annealing

• sonication

• etc.

sample preparation is important!

• sonication generates radicals

– can induce peroxide oxidation

– inadvertent forced degradation

• residual chloroacetic acid in the excipient reacts with drug substance

D. Santafianos (personal communications). varenicline-excipient interaction

excipient-excipient interactions

• tromethamine & benzaldehyde form a Schiff base in vehicle, appear in chromatogram

– tromethamine, for pH control

– benzaldehyde, from cherry flavor

– reversible – goes away on incubation

solid-state vs. in-solution stability

• pick the right indicator degradant!

• not always the same indicator degradant(s)

– in solid state

– does not accumulate in solution-degraded drug samples. Reactive – goes on to other degradants (?)

additional stability criteria

• does not have to be a degradant appearing in a chromatogram

• define a stability test and an objective failure criterion

– color/appearance – tristimulus measurement

– dissolution – the Q point

• dissolution

– attempts to correlate in vitro dissolution performance with in vivo oral drug performance & bioavailability

– establish specifications for batch-to-batch quality assurance

– becomes the official compendial specification for all subsequent immediate release products with the same active ingredient

• dissolution

– Q point

• specified % dissolution at a specified time

• the quantitative endpoint to measure “failure”

• becomes compendial specification on FDA registration of the drug/formulation

• often a very conservative specification

0 5 10 15 30 45

Time, minutes

• dissolution –10 mg tablet

– compendialQ = 85% @ 15 minutes

– conservative

0 5 10 15 30 45

• appearance/color

– expert evaluator – subjective, dependent on the training of the individual

– tristimulus testing – a quantitative color endpoint

– total reflectance visible spectroscopy

– International Commission on Illumination

• CIE x,y,z scale

• CIE L*a*b* scale

• Hunter L,a,b scale

• CIE - Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage

• quantitative measure of appearance failure

– tristimulus L,a,b measurements on caplets deemed to fail appearance testing, establishing a quantitative “failure” measurement

– stability challenge caplets under accelerated time, temperature, humidity conditions

– measure L,a,b

• appearance/color

– use one (or more) of tristimulus parameters to model stability, predict “failure”

– use in decision(s) to modify formulation, adjust packaging, etc.

• change excipients

• adapt/change packaging

• film-coat

forced degradation of biologics?

– what is the stress?

– what are the quantifiable endpoints?

– no problem with chemical stability

• covalent bond breakage (peptide or disulfide)

• oxidation of residue(s)

• loss of prosthetic group, post-translational modifications

– what about protein conformation?

• active vs. denatured forms?

• correctly folded?
