Processes Of Liposomal Formulation And Analytical Development

By Winifred Christensen


Medicines and drugs for therapeutic purposes that are poorly soluble need to be enhanced. Their properties and components have to be tested and validated to make sure that they are safe to use and do not cause allergic reactions to the patient. There are laboratory professionals that can do this job. There are so many equipment used for the nanotechnology. This is done to evaluate the nanoparticles such as the lipids and polymers.

Lipids and phospholipids, as well as natural or synthetic polymers are the nanoparticles that will be examined in the process. Nano encapsulation of the drug is also required in the liposomal formulation. Solubility enhancement is the key process. Encapsulation of the nanoparticles will prevent hemolysis of the drug. Thus, the life of the drug will be prolonged.

When infusion occurs, there is a possibility of irritation and allergic reactions. The formulation is needed in order to prevent this from happening. The membrane barriers and the tumors are targeted by the nanoparticles, but at the same time, the healthy cells are protected. This is a critical method so that the other cells that have not been affected by cancer can still act in defense.

Liposome products test the solubility, effectiveness, and safety of the drugs. This technology is relevant for pharmaceutical processes. The demand for this kind of formulation has increased in the market because again, it is safe and effective. The development of this lipid based formula does not come easy because it is done so meticulously.

There is a formation of proteins, molecules, and peptides, as well as nucleic acid. These components are encapsulated and then a test of solubility takes place. After which, the material will be enhanced. Such material can be a commercial sample or a preclinical sample. Then, this will undergo micro emulsion before delivery and homogenization.

But before carrying out these basic steps, there is one crucial method that needs to be done. This is the analytical method wherein the development of the components are examined. The scientists will try to figure out the basic characteristics of the product components. This way, they will figure out the things that need to be done to enhance their therapeutic potentials fully.

On the other hand, validation is done so that they can make sure that the products are safe. They have to follow the ICH standards and they have to be licensed to do the validation and other processes. If found that they are not following standards, they can be deemed liable for malpractice.

The newly enhanced components are separated and extracted. And scientists have to make sure that the changes are minimal. They need to retain most of the characteristics of the components. Based on the standards, there is a continuous optimization process so that the needs of pharmaceutical industries are met and the ICH guidelines are followed strictly.

They must make sure that all the analytical data are in order and accurate before proceeding to the next phase. The methods are very intricate and biochemical techniques have to be performed with care. It is part of their ethical responsibilities towards the end users of these pharmaceutical products.
