Locally Acting Oral Drugs For the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Conditions
Drug Substance • Purity • Impurity • Molecular Size • Solubility (pH 1 to 8) • Permeability • Degradation • Analytical Method • Specification • Stability
Dosage Form • Formulation • Excipients • Manufacturing process • Dosage form design • Tablet • Capsule • Specifications • Stability
Schematic of GI Transit Oral Dosage Stomach pH 1.2 Duodenum pH 4.5 Elimination Feces Colon pH 7.5 Jejunum pH 6.8
Dissolution Illustrations USP Method I or II pH 1.2 (Sodium Chloride)
Dissolution Illustrations USP Method I or II pH 4.5 (Acetate Buffer)
Dissolution Illustrations USP Method I or II pH 6.8 (Phosphate Buffer)
Schematic of Disposition Oral Dosage Dissolution GI Tract Local Action GI Tract Elimination Feces Systemic Absorption Systemic Toxicity Elimination
Criteria • Not specifically absorbed • Local action • Dissolution is pH independent • Freely available at site of action • No permeation • Vancomycin capsule fits the criteria
Conclusion • Comparative, superimposable dissolution profile • Rate and extent of dissolution are same • In Vivo bioequivalency is unnecessary • Clinical trial to prove safety and efficacy are unnecessary
