Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Primer
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Primer covers essential aspects of small molecule drug production. It begins with the unique ingredients incorporated into these medications, emphasizing the roles of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and excipients. Various chemical synthesis methods are demonstrated, including organic, linear, convergent, and stereoselective approaches. The intricate purification process and stringent regulatory aspects of API production are explained, along with supplier validation requirements. This foundational class continues with formulation goals and dosage form characteristics, such as tablets and capsules. It ends with a deep dive into packaging considerations, highlighting fill and finish methodology, regulations, tamper resistance measures, anti-counterfeit technologies, and supply chain management, including cold chain logistics.
