3. Establishment of quality control specifications of API, NCE, and phytopharmaceuticals in terms of quantitation of chemical markers.
4. Introduction to pre-formulation studies, establishing pharmaceutical specifications, development of different dosage forms.
5. Pre-formulations studies- It deals with studies of physical, chemical, analytical, and pharmaceutical properties related to API that will provide an insight about suitable modifications required in API for better performance. It will introduce about quantitation of solubility in various solvents, partition coefficient, pKa determination, dissolution rate, permeability, crystallinity, DSC, stability as per regulatory guidelines, hygroscopicity etcetera.
6. Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) and drug ability.
7. Introduction to manufacturing of conventional dosage forms including tablets, capsules, suspensions, emulsions etcetera containing API/NCE/Phytopharmaceuticals. Introduction to development of particulate drug delivery systems like, liposomes, niosomes, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals etcetera.
8. Quality control parameters of developed conventional formulations.
9. Establishing pharmaceutical specifications of particulate drug delivery systems.
10. Pharmacokinetic studies: In-vitro studies in simulated intestinal and gastric fluid, permeability, plasma stability, plasma protein binding, and metabolic stability etcetera.
11. In-vivo oral/intravenous pharmacokinetics of active pharmaceutical ingredients and pharmaceutical formulations. Calculation of various pharmacokinetic parameters including Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, AUC, clearance, bioavailability and mean residence time etcetera.
12. Generation and Compilation of Data Required for Regulatory Approval.
