The NIPTE-FDA Excipients Database hosted at pharmaHUB Ann Christine Catlin Rosen Center for Advanced Computing Purdue University June 14, 2012
What is the vision for our database ? Establish a database that maintains values of fundamental pharmaceutical excipients material properties and contains models, methods, and best practices for using this data in the design of pharmaceutical products and processes.
An Excipients Database Establish a database that maintains values of fundamental pharmaceutical excipients material properties and contains models, methods, and best practices for using this data in the design of pharmaceutical products and processes.
with fully documented experiments Establish a database that maintains values of fundamental pharmaceutical excipients material properties and contains models, methods, and best practices for using this data in the design of pharmaceutical products and processes.
offering more than just data …. Establish a database that maintains values of fundamental pharmaceutical excipients material properties and contains models, methods, and best practices for using this data in the design of pharmaceutical products and processes.
Environment for collaboration search tags database server API process roller compactor content resources Carr Index web server tools capture community knowledge and experience training databases
Hosting the database at the Hub pharmaHUB: a cyber infrastructure developed at Purdue University to support collaboration among researchers, educational outreach, and the sharing of data, tools and resources for the pharmaceutical engineering community.
What is a Hub ? nanoHUB: an environment for scientific collaboration
Building a scientific community >220,000 users worldwide >5,000,000 hits/month 25% of all .edu domains116 classes at 76 institutions in 2009 9000 users ran 350,000 simulations Selected as Purdue’s platform for online education

Excipients Database Schema Excipients -MCC Products -Avicel PH 101 Lot # -P109821003 Properties -Particle Size Operator -Ting Wang Equipment -Malvern Mastersizer Test Method -Laser Diffraction
Excipients Database Structure Analysis Tools make decisions and solve problems Web Interface Derivations & Plots of Measurements histograms, yield loci, powder flow function, frequency & cumulative distributions Measurements raw data, chemical and test descriptions Catalogs excipients, vendors, products, lots, test methods, equipment, properties
Database Support • Independent data collection from global community • User-friendly web-forms and spreadsheets • Input from academic institutions, industry & government • Cross-check for measurements obtained with different methods • Validation, ratings, reviews & feedback • Integrity of the data • Security of the Hub & database technology • Authentication, authorization • Tracking of the data collection • Audit of database activity logs • Usage statistics, patterns, trends (Google analytics)
Database exploration with “data views” • Unique, powerful & “feature-rich” exploration capability • Browse & search & sort • Export in spreadsheet format • Both raw and derived data • Link to images and documents • Link to drilldown “data views” • Automatic plots – line graphs, barcharts, • Statistical computations (e.g., least squares regression) • Access control/privacy with group-restricted data viewing
Knowledge for predicating the properties of the final product … the tablet • Look up and compare chemical and physical properties critical to manufacturing, stability, and performance of drug products • Plot NIR spectra to explore property variations between vendors, between lots and even within lots • Use range searches on Hausner ratio and Carr index to identify flowability • Generate the shear cell powder flow function to determine if a powder is cohesive or free-flowing to help with sizing of hoppers • Evaluate tensile strength of compacts based on moisture content • Explore particle size, size variation and particle shape to understand cohesion, compressibility and shear strength
