All rights reserved 1 Market News Service Pharmaceutical Starting Materials Introduction WHAT IS THE MNS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL STARTING MATERIALS/ESSENTIAL DRUGS? In 1986, the World Health Assembly laid before the Organization the responsibility to provide price information on pharmaceutical starting materials. WHA 39.27 endorsed WHO‟s revised drug strategy, which states “... strengthen market intelligence; support drug procurement by developing countries...” The responsibility was reaffirmed at the 49th WHA in 1996. Resolution WHA 49.14 requests the Director General, under paragraph 2(6) “to strengthen market intelligence, review in collaboration with interested parties‟ information on prices and sources of information on prices of essential drugs and starting material of good quality, which meet requirements of internationally recognized pharmacopoeias or equivalent regulatory standards, and provide this information to member states”. MNS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL STARTING MATERIALS IS AIMED AT YOU: - If you need to purchase pharmaceutical active ingredients to produce essential drugs at reasonable cost. - If you wish to stay informed about worldwide prices; - If you need a guide to compare market prices and for your negotiations; - If you seek market information, industry and regulatory news with respect to APIs, generic drugs; - If you wish to remain informed about overall pharmaceutical industry developments relevant to developing countries. ASSURING QUALITY In this publication, quality is expressed in terms of pharmacopoeial standards, when 1 available . When the pharmacopoeial standard is indicated as quality standard, the latest edition of the pharmacopoeia would apply. In accordance with the principles of good manufacturing practices (GMP), it is the dosage form manufacturer who must assume responsibility for the quality of the final pharmaceutical products. The acceptability of each starting material has to be established by developmental (pre-formulation, development of pharmaceutics) studies and confirmed through validation programmes for manufacturing processes. The Information Providers screened by MNS, are those that exhibit their dedication to quality assurance by maintaining up to date ISO 9000 certification, conform to WHO GMP requirements and fulfil minimum batch certification and labelling requirements. MNS collects data from Information Providers on the following: (a) Batch certificate that meets the following minimum requirements including: Name and batch number of the Pharmaceutical Starting Material Name and address of the manufacturer Manufacture and expiry date/retest date Type of container Net weight of the content per container and the number of the containers Date of latest analysis Quality specifications (b) Minimum labeling requirements for Pharmaceutical Starting Materials including: Name of Pharmaceutical Starting Materials Batch number Name and address of manufacturer Specification of active materials Expiry or retest date Storage indication Name of supplier if applicable 1 The list of covered products includes additives and fillers for which no pharmacopoeial standards are available. 2 Market News Service Pharmaceutical Starting Materials The MNS does not guarantee the quality of the substances listed in this report. Licensing authorities in the respective countries of manufacture are expected to be responsible for the review and approval of the detailed composition and formulation when authorizing a pharmaceutical product to be marketed, including the specifications of its ingredients, as submitted by the manufacturer of the dosage form and oversee compliance with GMP requirements as recommended by WHO. 3 Market News Service Pharmaceutical Starting Materials INDEX INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................... 2 INDUSTRY TRENDS ............................................................................................................ 5 REGIONAL FOCUS .............................................................................................................. 6 North America .................................................................................................................... 6 SELECTED INDUSTRY NEWS ............................................................................................. 9 REGULATORY UPDATES ................................................................................................. 13 PRICE INFORMATION ....................................................................................................... 16 CALENDAR OF EVENTS ................................................................................................... 48 APPENDICES ..................................................................................................................... 50 4 Market News Service Pharmaceutical Starting Materials Industry Trends At the end of the third quarter of 2009, the being adopted is to intensify the marketing outlook on future growth for brand drugs of drugs which have gone off-patent while has improved compared to what was expanding into only selected segments of originally anticipated but will remain low, the generic industry.2 according to analyses by pharmaceutical consulting firm, IMS Health.

The interest in complementary and alternative medicines for treating or preventing insomnia has increased recently. Centuries-old herbal treatments, popular for their safety and effectiveness, include valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, lavender, and Californian poppy. These herbal medicines have been shown to reduce sleep latency and increase subjective and objective measures of sleep quality. Research into their molecular components revealed that their sedative and sleep-promoting properties rely on interactions with various neurotransmitter systems in the brain. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a major role in controlling different vigilance states. GABA receptors are the targets of many pharmacological treatments for insomnia, such as benzodiazepines. Here, we perform a systematic analysis of studies assessing the mechanisms of action of various herbal medicines on different subtypes of GABA receptors in the context of sleep control.

  • Execution by . . . Heroin?: Why States Should Challenge the FDA's Ban
    N2_BERGS_UPDATED (DO NOT DELETE) 1/15/2017 9:55 AM Execution by . Heroin?: Why States Should Challenge the FDA’s Ban on the Importation of Sodium Thiopental Matthew C. Bergs* ABSTRACT: This Note traces the history of the lethal injection drug shortage and its impact on how states carry out the death penalty. Though this topic has received much attention in recent years, relatively little attention has been paid to the D.C. Circuit’s decision in Cook v. FDA, which exacerbated the shortage. In Cook, the D.C. Circuit enjoined the FDA from exercising its enforcement discretion to allow the importation of sodium thiopental, the primary anesthetic used by states in lethal injection executions. This decision is significant because it effectively required the FDA to ban the importation of sodium thiopental, forcing states to find other ways to carry out executions. Many states have turned to new drugs and manufacturers, while others have returned to past methods of execution. However, states’ use of alternative drugs and manufacturers has had disastrous consequences, and the return to old methods of execution constitutes an unacceptable regression towards inhumane and barbaric punishment. Thus, this Note argues that states should make every effort to obtain sodium thiopental. Potential avenues to obtain the drug include adhering to the FDA’s regulations or litigating against the FDA’s regulations. Renewed access to sodium thiopental will resolve many of the problems plaguing the administration of lethal injection. I.

  • IV Induction Agents
    Intravenous drugs used for the induction of anaesthesia Dr Tom Lupton, Specialist Registrar in Anaesthesia Dr Oliver Pratt, Consultant Anaesthetist Salford Royal Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Salford, UK Key questions This tutorial reviews the basic pharmacology of common intravenous (IV) anaesthetic drugs. By the end of the tutorial, you should be able to decide on the most appropriate drug to use in the situations below and for what reason: 1. A patient with intestinal obstruction requires an emergency laparotomy. 2. A patient with a history of throat cancer, showing marked stridor and signs of respiratory distress, requires a tracheostomy. 3. A patient requiring a burn dressing change. 4. A patient with a history of heart failure requires a general anaesthetic. 5. A dehydrated hypovolaemic patient requires an emergency general anaesthetic. 6. A patient with porphyria comes for an inguinal hernia repair and is requesting a general anaesthetic. 7. A patient requires sedation on the intensive care unit. 8. Anaesthesia in the prehospital environment. What are IV induction drugs? These are drugs that, when given intravenously in an appropriate dose, cause a rapid loss of consciousness. This is often described as occurring within “one arm-brain circulation time” that is simply the time taken for the drug to travel from the site of injection (usually the arm) to the brain, where they have their effect. They are used: • To induce anaesthesia prior to other drugs being given to maintain anaesthesia. • As the sole drug for short procedures. • To maintain anaesthesia for longer procedures by intravenous infusion. • To provide sedation. The concept of intravenous anaesthesia was born in 1932, when Wesse and Schrapff published their report into the use of hexobarbitone, the first rapidly acting intravenous drug.

  • Insomnia Medications – Safety Communication and Updated Labeling
    Insomnia medications – Safety communication and updated labeling • On April 30, 2019, the FDA announced that a Boxed Warning will be added to the drug labels of certain common prescription insomnia medications due to rare but serious injuries occurring because of complex sleep behaviors, including sleepwalking, sleep driving, and engaging in other activities while not fully awake. — These complex sleep behaviors have also resulted in deaths. — These behaviors appear to be more common with eszopiclone (Lunesta®), zaleplon (Sonata®), and zolpidem (eg, Ambien®, Ambien CR®, Edluar®, Intermezzo®, and Zolpimist™) than other prescription medications used for sleep. — The FDA is also requiring an update to the Contraindication section of the drug labels, to avoid use of these medications in patients who have previously experienced an episode of complex sleep behavior with eszopiclone, zaleplon, and zolpidem. — This information will also be added to the patient Medication Guides. • Drugs such as eszopiclone, zaleplon, and zolpidem are prescription sedative-hypnotic medications used to treat insomnia in adults who have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. • Patients should stop taking their insomnia medication and contact their health care professional right away if they experience a complex sleep behavior where they engage in activities while they are not fully awake or if they do not remember activities they have done while taking the medication. • Healthcare professionals should not prescribe eszopiclone, zaleplon, or zolpidem to patients who have previously experienced complex sleep behaviors after taking any of these medications. All patients should be advised that although rare, the behaviors caused by these medications have led to serious injuries or death.

  • Pharmacology Cito
    Pharmacology Cito 5 Read: it is important! Dear future physicians and pharmaceutists! The scientific and pedagogical staff of the Pharmacology department of the National University of Pharmacy (Kharkiv) presents a new textbook "Pharmacology – Cito!" to you. We want to change the myth that it is impossible to learn pharmacology quickly and qualitatively. The textbook "Pharmacology – Cito!" is published for those, who have decided to connect his or her profession with medicines, but think that a great amount of the information in pharmacology is hard to learn. Taking this fact into account we have decided to help those, who wish to master pharmacology in logical, fast - "Cito!"- version. Not be afraid of pharmacology! The 40-year experience of teaching pharmacology testifies that for the last 10-15 years a tendency of reducing the amount of classroom hours in pharmacology because of increasing the amount of the individual work is being observed. However, because of the lack of time and the constant increasing volume of information in pharmacology, everyone has not enough time to master it soundly and qualitatively. This textbook trains future pharmaceutists and physicians in the pharmacological logic, i.e. knowing the mechanisms of drug action one can understand their pharmacodynamics, naturally, on the basis of pharmacodynamics one can find logically the indications to their application and from their side effects the contraindications can be seen. The information about the peculiarities of medicines has been generalized and given as a pharmacological ―face‖ in tables. The volume of this textbook in pharmacology is sufficient for acquiring the confidence in the opportunity of the further improving of knowledge in this discipline, which is important for a physician and a pharmaceutist.
