Our Reverse Engineering Services at Topiox Research
We specialize in reverse engineering ophthalmic products such as eye drops and suspensions. Our analysis helps identify the key ingredients, stabilizers, and preservatives used in the formulation. Testing ensures the viscosity, sterility, and bioavailability of the formulation are maintained, ensuring efficacy in ocular therapy.
For topical formulations like creams, gels, and ointments, our reverse engineering services help optimize the active ingredient composition, emulsifiers, and stabilizing agents. This process ensures that the product is safe, effective, and compliant with regulatory standards.
We offer reverse engineering for lotions and emulsions to evaluate the oil-water balance, preservative systems, and stability of active ingredients. This analysis helps create high-quality, patient-friendly products with improved stability and performance throughout their shelf life.
Regulatory Framework for E&L Testing
E&L testing is essential for compliance with several key regulatory guidelines:
- FDA Guidance for Industry (2013): Leachables and Extractables Testing of Materials Used in Parenteral Drug Products
- ICH Q3D: Elemental Impurities—Guideline for Drug Substances and Drug Products
- ISO 10993: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices
- USP <661>: Plastic Packaging Systems and Their Materials of Construction
- FDA 21 CFR 820: Quality System Regulations (for medical devices)
Compliance with these standards ensures the safety, quality, and regulatory acceptance of pharmaceutical products, facilitating market approval and patient trust.
IVRT Methodology at Topiox Research
Our IVRT studies are conducted using the latest technologies and methodologies to provide precise and reproducible results. The process involves:
Apparatus
We use Franz diffusion cells, which are the standard tools for IVRT testing. These cells simulate human skin or membranes for accurate drug release analysis.
Dissolution Medium
We use physiologically relevant media, such as phosphate buffer at body temperature (37°C), to mimic the conditions under which the drug would be absorbed in the human body.
Sampling and Analysis
Periodic samples are collected from the receptor compartment and analyzed using advanced analytical techniques like HPLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometry to quantify the active ingredient. This methodology helps us evaluate the efficiency of the formulation and ensure its therapeutic performance.
Applications of IVRT Studies
IVRT is used for a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including:
Topical Formulations
Creams, gels, ointments, and lotions.
Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems (TDDS)
Ensures the API is delivered effectively across the skin in patches and other transdermal devices.
Combination Products
Drug-device systems, ensuring that both the API release and device functionality are optimized.
Regulatory Submissions
IVRT data supports NDA, ANDA, and Clinical Trials submissions, demonstrating product quality, consistency, and performance.
Reverse Engineering Process at Topiox Research
Our reverse engineering process is systematic and precise, ensuring that every aspect of a pharmaceutical formulation is thoroughly analyzed:
Product Deconstruction
We begin by examining the product, including its physical characteristics, packaging, and appearance. This allows us to understand the overall formulation design and potential areas of improvement.
Ingredient Identification and Quantification
Using advanced analytical techniques like HPLC, Mass Spectrometry (MS), and Gas Chromatography (GC), we identify and quantify the ingredients in the formulation, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and preservatives. This step also involves Analytical Testing Services to ensure precise and reliable results.
Formulation Composition Analysis
We analyze the interaction between different ingredients in the formulation to assess release rates, bioavailability, and compatibility. Our testing ensures that the formulation’s stability and efficacy are optimized.
Process Optimization
Once we understand the formulation’s components and manufacturing process, we offer recommendations on how to optimize the production process, reduce costs, and improve efficacy and patient compliance.
Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
Following the reverse engineering process, we provide comprehensive reports detailing the formulation’s composition, manufacturing process, and stability data. These reports comply with FDA, EMA, and ICH requirements, supporting regulatory submissions.
