Course Description

Dissolution testing poses a major challenge to the pharmaceutical, biotech and generics industries both in terms of method development and regulatory compliance.

This course is devised to cover the benefits, importance and role of dissolution testing in drug development today. Intricacies of dissolution testing with an emphasis on common problems and methods for enhancing dissolution and bioavailability of compounds will be covered. Using practical examples and case studies throughout the program, delegates will gain a thorough understanding of setting and establishing specifications for optimum dissolution testing.

 

Course Objectives

  • Identifying the factors affecting dissolution
  • Understanding the relationship between dissolution testing and drug adsorption
  • Designing optimum method development strategies
  • Conducting Product performance tests and Quality Control
  • Selecting optimum test conditions and method development
  • Ensuring test methods are properly validated
  • Clarifying global regulatory requirements
  • Assessing new scientific developments and trends
