C2-Sterile dosage forms Flashcards
what are the qualifications for parenteral preparations?
Stability of the API during storage and administration
API content and identity accurrency
no microorganisms
limits of pyrogens and ednotoxins
free of visible particles
adequte tonicity, ph
Container size classifications
SVP= small volume parenteral ( < =100 ml) LVÜs= larger voulme parenteral (>=100 ml)
glass types?
type 1 (2-100 ml), have highest quality and high resistance of hydrolytic attack
Antimicrobial, when should it be used?
in all multiple-dose
single dose without a terminal sterilization (may be added)
injections (> 15 ml) no preservatives)
Antioxidants?
ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfits
prevention of oxidative degradation
why are parenteral applications important
due to fast onset of and length of the drug action
action can be control with injectables
what does sterility means?
the absence of viable and actively multiplying microorganisms
on what does the release of the batch depends?
on the validated process
what is a SAL
Sterility assurance level, used to express the probability of a mO to survuve in the product
meaning of a paramerically release
the release is based on the process parameter of the sterilization proces, which are already validated
sterilization processes
steam, dry heat, radiation
steam sterilization process
end product is treated using water vapour as energy conductor
why do we have a shorter sterilization time in steam processing
due to better conduction of water vapor than dry air, (7-fold higher).
temperature in steam and dry heat sterilization
steam temperatur is lower, due to higher energy conductor
what is the case, if sterilization is possible?
sterile filtration and aseptic manufacuring
when is sterilie filtration used?
when steam and dry heat sterilization is not possible
why can’t we used ionizing radiation
due to instabilities of drug susbstance and excipients
On which products can raidation sterilization used?
non-aqueous liquif
when do we used aspetic conditions?
if steam or sterile filtrated is not possible
when do we used dry sterilization process
STANDRAD 160 °c; 2h
METAL AND GLASSS EQUIPMENT
OIL PREPARATION
SAl, on what does the probability of surving of MO depends?
enviroment, the count, type and the resistance of MO
what can be done to ensure high sterility level?
filtration beofre sterilization can be conducted
what can influence the resistance of the MO
pH and antimicrobial compound
number of MO in the prodcut can be affect by the water content
what is the SAL required by Ph.Eur.
10-6
What’s the D-value
decimal reduction value, define as the rate at which the MO are killed during sterilization
what does the D-value meanse?
the number of germs can be reduced at the giving rate by one log
on what does the d-value depends?
on the germs type and procedure
D-value of 15 mins is asign to which baterial?
for geobacillus stearothermophilus or bacillus atrohaeus
what does spore means?
there are heat reistance
Equation for D-value?
D121°C * 10 ^ (121-T/Z)
Z-value?
the temperature coefficient, temerature different at which the D-value is change to the tenfold
F-value?
the time to achive an effective sterilization procedure
Equation for the F-value, when the bioburden is giving
F=n*D–>F=[log(N0)-log (N)] *D
which filter are used for the filter integrity tests?
cartidge and flat filer membranes
on what does the filtration process based?
on the filterion medium, type of filter, pore size, amerial and applied pressure
how can the filter be differentiated?
sepration mechanism
pore structure
property of the filter
PES filter?
Polyether sulfone, asymmetrical structure, hydrophilic
suitbale for aqueous media
classification of the filter integrity test?
destructive and non-destructive
name a destructive test and explained
bacterial challenge test, carried out as a full flow analysis
filter is exposed to > 10^7 CFU/cm of a specific test organism
WFI mixed with the test O-pumped towards the filter to be tested
solution flows through a second filter, transfering it to a agar plat
Non-destrutive test can be divided in ?
convection and diffusion
Bubble point?
convection test
the sterile filter membrane is wetted with the medium, the filter is pressurized with air at the non-sterile side. the diffusion rate highly increses at the bubble point
diffusion tests?
forward flow test, where the gas diffusion needs to stay below the bubble point pressure
pressure hold test?
a pressure is set on the unsterile side
the requirement for the pressure hold test?
intact filter, the pressure stays the same, the bubble point est can follo
otherwiese,there will be a decrease of the pressure over time
what does a redudeant filtration mean?
a two sterile filtration steps
Bublle point test (before and ) after the filteration of the product while the transfer (zone B) from production in zone C, filling in zone A
what are the requirment inorder to start the validation process
germ count of the raw material
