Injectables formulation

After being used to contain the blood of martyrs after death or to store the anointing oil of French monarchs, today ampoules are the first choice in packaging injectables. You create ampoules by melting the glass tube into the desired shape and seal them at the neck by melting the top of the glass tube. The only way for you to extract the contents from an ampoule is by breaking the glass at its breaking point, making it perfect for single dose applications only.

Ampoules

The word parenteral comes from Greek and means outside the intestine (para=outside and enteron=intestine). In fact, when it comes to parenterals, we are referring to those dosage forms that are administered directly into the bloodstream using a hypodermic needle, avoiding going through the gastrointestinal tract. Using parenteral filling equipment, parenteral solutions are placed in containers such as vials, syringes, or ampoules.

Parenterals

Pharmaceutical cartridges are glass containers of cylindrical shape, suitable for liquid or solid pharmaceutical dosage forms. Generally, these are designed for a specific apparatus such as pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors. Drugs that can be placed in cartridges using a pharmaceutical cartridge filling equipment include insulin, dental anesthesia, and other emergency drugs for allergies.

Pharmaceutical cartridges

A pre-filled syringe or PFS is a single-dose disposable syringe that is supplied loaded with the substance to be injected. By using a pre-filled syringe filling machine, you can have excellent dosage accuracy due to the exact filling of medications. During administration, safety from potential contaminants is also ensured as they are directly injected after opening. To further minimize the risk of contamination, pre-filled syringes are often filled and sealed in a sterile environment using stainless steel equipment.

Pre-filled Syringes

<em>“How clean does my equipment needs to be?” </em>That's what manufacturers often wonder about in order to meet the high sterilization standards the pharmaceutical industry demands. Lending manufacturers helping hand have been single-use bags, also known as disposable, first introduced in the late 1990s. They immediately gained popularity because they reduce the risk of cross-contamination, minimalize cleaning and sterilization demands, and require a low capital cost.

Single-use bags

Some of the vaccines in use today were originally developed decades ago. But advances in research, expertise and vaccine development equipment provide immunizations from bacterial and viral diseases (antibodies and cell therapy) to more people every year. The Covid 19 pandemic highlights the urgent need to scale up the production of vaccines and ensure an automated as well as reproducible manufacturing environment.

Vaccines

During crime scene investigations in any movie, you've probably seen forensic scientists collecting evidence and biological samples in small containers. Here, these are the vials, used to store medicines, especially in liquid form, or laboratory samples. Often made of glass or plastic, vials can be labeled as single-dose vials or sterilized and reused more than once. They are also available with various closure systems depending on the material and storage requirements.

Vials

If you've ever heard the acronym WFI spoken, know that we're not talking about wireless technology to connect your computer. WFI stands for water for injection, a sterile water used as a solvent to dilute other solutions for injections to the body. Traditionally, WFI was only produced through the distillation process using water for injection equipment until other methods such as reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, and ultrafiltration were developed.

Water for injection

API making equipment must observe rigorous quality control standards across the entire manufacturing process. The pharmacodynamic properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients API make them highly sensitive to their environment, making API manufacturing and production a tightly regulated field.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)

The click and puff of inhalers is a universal signal for respiratory conditions. Inhalers quickly grew into preferred drug delivery systems for asthma and COPD. Dry inhaler powder formulation produces a more stable drug than liquid dosage forms. Moreover, inhaler ingredients are more resistant to bacterial growth.

It goes by many names. Freeze drying, lyophilization, or cryodesiccation is a form of dehydration that involves freezing the product to remove its water content and then removing the ice by sublimation – this means going from the solid to the gaseous state without going through the liquid phase. Freeze dryers are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to increase the shelf life of products such as vaccines and other injectables. Due to their ability to best preserve the flavors, freeze dryers are used for food preservation in the food industry by dehydrating high-value products such as seasonal fruits or coffee. Industrial freeze drying systems are usually comprised of multiple components including vacuum pumps, stainless steel condensers, some form of heating and lastly, a chamber for drying where the materials are placed and processed.

Formulation Technologies

Formulation technologies are an integral process in many industries such as pharma and food. Chemical mixtures require strict handling to combine the separate ingredients into the homogenized recipe that makes your final product. Formulation technology stores, mixes and subjects the elements to a range processing parameters according to your specifications to develop the base material. The resulting formulas are then weighed, formed, packaged, or sent for further formulation.

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Biopharmaceuticals

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

Injectables

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

Collagen powder

In 1682, Denis Papin found a method to remove collagen from animal bones, discovering gelatin. But it was the inventor Peter Cooper who developed gelatin powder processing. In 1845 he secured his invention with US patent 4084 for a dessert of gelatin powder called “portable gelatin”.

The two halves of a capsule shell are separately filled with your selected material before they are then pressed against one another and closed. Automatic capsule fillers orientate the shells in the precise position, fill them with your specified formula a join the ends. Capsules are then de-dusted and polished by micro brushes before they are ready for packaging.

Capsule fillers

The most important part of a capsule is its contents. But if the shell is not carefully made, the dosage ingredients inside lose effectiveness. From molding to sizing, capsule manufacturing equipment forms perfectly-matching husks ready for filling. The simplicity of encapsulation revolutionized pharmaceuticals since it was introduced in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. However, capsules are changing to increase delivery efficiency and reduce the dependency on gelatin.

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical powder

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Tablets

In the pharmaceutical world, encapsulation refers to various techniques to enclose and protect the drug ingredients by forming the capsule shell. Encapsulation equipment changes depending on whether the manufacturer needs to produce a soft or hard gel capsule. For instance, encapsulation systems and machines for softgels control the entire process from start to finish because their shells are filled at the same time they are produced. On the other hand, the filling of hard gel capsules comes by separating the body from the cap, and after the filling operations, the two parts are sealed together again, forming the shell.

<h2>Manufacturing parenteral formulations</h2>
Fragile molecules such as protein formulations would be destroyed using the alimentary canal and are therefore administered by injection. When making injectable formulations the drugs are stored in <strong>liquid</strong> or, if unstable at higher temperatures, <strong>lyophilized form</strong>. To ensure a stable active medium during storage and make the preparation isotonic with blood, liquid formulations combine active ingredients with a minimum amount of excipients such as solvents, solubilizers, suspending, and buffering agents, and antimicrobial preservatives.

Water for injections(WFI) is used as the vehicle for aqueous injections. For non-aqueous injections, fixed oils of vegetable origin are used as vehicles. Water for Injection is used in the preparation of medicines as a vehicle and sterilized water for injection is used when solving or diluting substances or preparations before use. WFI is obtained by distillation or reverse osmosis and meets all chemical requirements for PW (Purified Water) with an additional bacterial endotoxin parameter.

Lyophilized drugs allow storage at higher temperatures after freeze-drying is used to remove water from a liquid drug and create a solid powder or cake. In protein formulations, stabilizers are added to replace the water and preserve the molecule structure. Before administration, a lyophilized drug is reconstituted by combining a liquid diluent with the freeze-dried powder and mixing before injected into the body.

Applikon Biotechnology is specialized in human vaccine production systems, as well as in systems for the production of therapeutic agents using both cell culture and microbial cultures.

Inspection of sealed glass vessels for contaminants, correct fill volume, sealing, and for example tip-cap effects or black spot particles. How convenient to cover all quality inspection requirements at once?

CMP Pharma’s NIKE-LT’s recirculation feature allows re-inspection following rejection by only one or two cameras (user selectable) which brings false rejection rates down reducing unnecessary wastage.

Visual and high voltage leak detection (HVLD) inspection

<h2>Sterile filling and packing of injectables</h2>
Sterile dosage forms must be free from any microorganisms, dust, fibers, and foreign particles, and should be isotonic. Although standards and legislation may differ worldwide there are several regulations to ensure the product or safe and effective new and generic drugs on the market such as USP/JP/EP standards and Current Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP) compliance.

Small-volume parenteral solutions (SVPs) are injections provided in containers 100 ml or less and can be designed for single and for multiple uses.  A large volume parenteral (LVP) is a single-use unit dose container of greater than 100ml designed to carry fluids, calories, and electrolytes.

For light-sensitive substances, colored glass containers such as vials or ampoules are used. If possible containers are made transparent for easier visual inspection. Containers are made, as far as possible, from material that is sufficiently transparent to permit visual inspection. Closures are equipped with a firm seal to prevent the entry of microorganisms and other contaminants while permitting the withdrawal of a part of the whole of the contents without removal of the closure. Closures for multidose containers are sufficiently elastic to allow the puncture to reseal when the needle is withdrawn.

The fizz of effervescent tablets is commonly associated with a vitamin C boost. But the soluble pill is an excellent drug delivery method for pediatric and geriatric patients. Sometimes referred to as carbon tablets, manufacturing effervescent tablets binds biocarbonate and citric acid that produce the smooth hiss as they dissolve in liquid.

Effervescent tablets

When taking a tablet, it is usually the job of our stomach to break down the medication to make it ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However, some drugs are not meant to be dissolved in the stomach because the acidic pH of the stomach can disintegrate the drug, making it no longer effective. Using tablet coating equipment that applies a polymer barrier to the tablet makes it possible to protect it from stomach acidity.

Enteric Coated Tablets

Microtablets range between 1 and 4 millimeters, making the dosage form an excellent delivery system in polypharmacy. The size of the products makes them easier pills to swallow, but microtablets production brings a unique set of complexities.

Multilayer tablets are a popular fixed-dose combination (FDC) offering a range of release profiles for effective drug delivery. Multilayer tablet technology solves challenges to API consistency, allowing manufacturers to develop formulations from incompatible ingredients while optimizing the release profile for immediate release and controlled release.

The two-piece capsule is a visual shorthand for all types of medical remedies. Advances in technology have made the production of hard-gelatin capsules a convenient delivery method for drugs and other ingested substances. But the simple solution requires micrometric precision to be manufactured to the proper pharmaceutical standards.

Hard gelatin capsules

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Softgel capsules

The nonproprietary name for HPMC – hydroxypropyl methylcellulose – is such a mouthful that it has two abbreviations. Hypromellose is the other one. The non-ionized material offers a safe alternative to gelatin capsules, especially as most common API and excipients are suitable HPMC capsule ingredients.

HPMC capsules

<p class="filterable-grid__description">Liquid dosage forms are designed for easy absorption. The body quickly carries the active ingredients through the system and triggers the required response. But the greatest advantage of this medicinal type is its flexibility in formulation and dispensation. From lotions and syrups to drops and sprays, liquid solutions can be adapted to different administration routes including parenteral, topical, and oral. The fundamental liquid dosage manufacturing process involves dissolving or suspending solutes in a fluid. But that is not enough. A precise blend of excipients is needed to make the medicine go down.</p>
