SHL Group ADDRESSING COMPLEX BIOLOGICS WITH RATIONAL DRUG DEVICE DESIGN In this article, Gene Rhode Fuensalida Pantig, RPh, Resident Molecular Biologist and Pharmacist at SHL Medical, reviews drug development over the years, the discovery of biologics as therapeutic agents and the emergence of autoinjectors. In correspondence, Hans Lin, PhD, a Research Fellow from Academia Sinica in Taiwan – who has interests in protein biology and drug discovery – discusses the inherent properties of biologics that should be of prime consideration to pharma companies and drug delivery device developers. With complex biologics moving the field of medicine further into a more personalised approach, the article also discusses the need for an even tighter collaboration from drug research through to development of the combination product. The many advances in molecular biology target. For a compound to be considered and biotechnology – from the advent of a lead in rational drug discovery, a classic recombinant DNA technology to the use requirement would be to satisfy Lipinski’s of panomics1 – have significantly furthered “rule of five” (Ro5).3 our understanding of the human body’s The Ro5 is a set of physicochemical molecular landscape.

  • General Medical Treatment and First
    5.9 FIRST AID AND GENERAL MEDICAL TREATMENT Aim The excellent care of the children at The Downs is a vital aspect of the school, indeed the safety, health and welfare of the pupils, including those in Early Years (EYFS), and its employees is a priority of the School. This policy is drawn up under reference to the DfE ‘Guidance on First Aid’ and ‘Guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools’. Objectives To make appropriate First Aid available to all members of the community as quickly and efficiently as is possible. To ensure that the Matrons and other members of staff are suitably qualified First Aiders. In regard to EYFS this will mean Paediatric training - First Aid is provided by competent adults. To ensure the appropriate medical resources are available as necessary To ensure the proper and effective keeping of records Matrons The Matrons at The Downs are responsible for the medical care of the children. The Matron’s are based in the Medical Room. This is in Charlton House at the top of the stairs. The department’s facilities also include a Sick Bay for those who need to go to bed. There are four Matrons, a least one being on duty at all times. The Matrons are all First Aid qualified, but it is often the case that they have worked in the nursing profession. They administer first aid, deal with accidents or emergencies and provide care if someone is taken ill. Many members of the teaching staff are also trained and qualified as First Aiders.

Drugs are often the smallest proportion of a medicine, and the variety of other ingredients within most dose forms is large. Some of these excipients serve more than one purpose and some have some biological activity. The reason we discuss in this textbook adverse events which may follow from administration of medicines is that some of the problems that arise are the result of excipients interacting physically or chemically with drugs or with themselves, or creating instability or, in some instances, having biological activity of their own. That activity may not be a direct pharmacological or toxicological action, though some agents, such as some non-ionic surfactants, may cause anaphylactic responses or affect drug absorption rates and extent by solubilisation effects or by acting on P-glycoprotein receptors, thus influencing bioavailability.

  • The Device Side of Combination Products Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Life Cycle Management
    The Device Side of Combination Products Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Life Cycle Management Bob Laughner Associate Director, Combination Products 04 May 2016 What are combination products? Combination Product Combination products are the combination of two or more regulated entities (e.g. drug/device, biologic/device). Each entity (constituent part) contributes one or more mode of action to the final product. Example: Prefilled syringe has at least two modes of action • Syringe = subcutaneous injection • Medication = pharmaceutical action A CP is generally approved by a regulator based on its primary mode of action (i.e. the mode that contributes the most important therapeutic effect) 3 Combination Product Types There are three types of combination products: 1. Single-entity (e.g. integral) 2. Co-packaged (e.g. kits) 3. Cross-labeled (e.g. virtual) 4 Combination Product Types Single-entity (e.g. integral) examples: • Prefilled drug delivery systems – Prefilled syringes – Prefilled autoinjectors – Prefilled pen injectors – Prefilled on-body delivery systems – Dry-powder inhalers – Metered dose inhalers – Prefilled nasal sprayers – Transdermal patches – Iontophoretic delivery systems 5 Combination Product Types Single-entity (e.g. integral) examples (cont.): • Medicated devices – Drug-coated stents – Drug-coated catheters – Drug-coated pacemaker leads – Antimicrobial surgical scrubs – Antimicrobial wound dressings – Antibiotic-impregnated surgical mesh – Antibiotic bone cements – Spermicidal condoms 6 Combination Product Types Co-packaged (e.g. kits) examples: • Convenience kits – Surgical trays with anesthetic and/or surgical scrub – Vial and syringe packs – Injector pen with user-loaded prefilled cartridge – Liquid medication with dose-dispenser • Other – Collagen sponge with bone morphogenic protein 7 Combination Product Types Co-labeled (e.g.

  • Drug Delivery Devices - Does the Toolkit Need Changing?
    Drug delivery devices - does the toolkit need changing? Getting drugs into the body to the target organs and tissues is not always easy. The concept of the swallowable pill that can survive the hostile conditions of the human digestive tract and yield its payload throughout the body at safe and efficacious levels is an ideal that cannot always be realized. Instead, over the last century, a range of devices has So is the toolkit good enough or does it need to evolved which are designed to deliver pharmaceutical change? Whatever your views are on the subject, ingredients more precisely, overcoming natural barriers there are signs that the industry is waking up to the and avoiding the body’s defences. So, in the standard possibility of some radical new approaches to drug drug developer’s toolkit, we have the hypodermic delivery, driven by a number of specific needs.

Alongside these are the inhalers: some relatively simple, like the pressurised Wearables metered dose inhalers; and some more complicated, Wearable drug pumps have been around for a while, such as breath-actuated dry powder inhalers, all of but they are getting more sophisticated, less obtrusive which are designed to send drugs to the lungs without and are now delivering drugs other than insulin.
