To understand Extractables and Leachables as per PQRI guidelines
Studies of extractable and leachable components within packaging systems and closures have become a mandatory requirement to meet the safety requirements for marketed medicines. This area of growing regulatory significance provides many challenges in the development and analysis of Extractables and Leachables for inhalation, ophthalmic and injectable drug products. In order to obtain successful regulatory approval for new drug applications, packaging interactions with the drug product should be evaluated to ensure product safety.
According to the USFDA cosmetic Act section 501 (a)(3)“A drug is deemed to be adulterated if its container is composed in whole or part of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to healthâ€. This webinar outlines FDA risk analysis, the FDA’s quality control approach and factors to be considered during studies of Extractables and Leachables.
Development and Evaluation studies of E & L include evaluation of packaging material COA; solvent extraction studies using varying polarity solvents; Identification and Quantification on LC-MS and GC-MS; identification of toxic and geno-toxic compounds; toxicity evaluation as per Derek Nexus software; validation of developed analytical methods and leachable studies during the shelf life of a product.
Join Piramal Pharma Solutions in this webinar to understand what Extractables and Leachables are and to obtain successful regulatory approval.
