Chapter 2: New Drug Development and Approval Process Flashcards
requires a new drug to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration before it may be legally introduced in the interstate commerce
the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
initiated to define physical and chemical properties of the agent
preformulation studies
follow to develop the initial features of the proposed pharmaceutical product or dosage form
formulation studies
the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is regulated by
Title 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations
factors that triggered drug development
cumulative body of scientific and biomedical information generated worldwide,
combined efforts of those participating in drug discovery and development
pharmaceutical industry in the US grew rapidly during
World War II
discovered by Alexander Fleming in England
penicillin

1944
date of discovery of penicillin
1929
date of end of World War 2
1945
ways of producing new drugs
variety of natural sources,
synthesis in the laboratory,
creation through biotechnology
served as reservoir of potential new drugs
plant materials
major contributions to modern drug therapy may be attributed to
conversion of botanic folklore remedies into modern wonder drugs
a tranquilizer and hypotensive agent

two basic technologies that drive the genetic field of drug development
recombinant DNA,
monoclonal antibody production
common characteristics of rDNA and mAb production
ability to manipulate and produce proteins,
ability to influence the cellβs ability to produce proteins
characteristics of rDNA technology
more fundamental of two techniques,
potential to produce any protein,
allows gene-splicing (transplant of genetic material from higher species into lowly bacterium)
