Introduction
Polymorphism arises when a solid compound present in two or more crystal forms. If polymorphic impurities or anything else other than the predicted crystalline forms are present in a drug substance of a pharmaceutical product, it may impact the performance, quality, safety, efficacy and stability of the drug product. Different polymorphic forms can have different melting points, spectral properties, and thermodynamic stability. Amorphous
Assessment of Risk to the Quality of Drug Substance and Drug Product
Polymorphs are one type of solid form. Other solid form types include solvates, hydrates, and amorphous forms. Many organic and inorganic compounds, including drug substances, can exist in multiple solid forms. In the manufacturing of drug substance, polymorphism of crystals must be strictly controlled, because it significantly affects the bio-availability of a drug Impurity is one of the important aspects in control of crystal polymorphism.
Polymorphism is regularly affected by a trace amount of impurities. Many drug substances are synthesized through many reactions. It is significant to know the impact of the impurities in presence of crystal polymorphs.

Formulation, Development and Evaluation of Fast Disintegrating Tablet of Piro...ijtsrd
The solubility behavior of drugs remains one of the most exigent aspects in formulation development. With the advent of combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening, the number of poorly water soluble compounds has dramatically increased. Among all the newly discovered chemical entities, about 40 45 drugs fail to reach market due to their poor water solubility. Because of solubility problem, bioavailability of drugs gets affected and hence solubility enhancement becomes necessary. In present study the attempts have been made to increase the dissolution of BCS class 2 drug Piroxicam using hydrophilic polymers namely polyethylene glycol PEG 6000 and sodium lauryl sulphate as a surfactant by using solid dispersion technique. In solid dispersion microwave induced solid dispersion and conventional fusion method is compared. Drug polymer complex was prepared using batch method. Maximum dissolution rate was obtained of the complex prepared from Piroxicam PEG6000 SLS . A successful solubility enhancement of drug complex was confirmed by taking drug release in phosphate buffer pH 6.8. The drug was characterized according to different compendial methods, on the basis of identification by UV spectroscopy, organoleptic properties and other tests. After that among the all formulation batches, solid dispersion F16 was selected for further tablet formulation batches, nine formulations were developed and studied. The values of pre compression parameters was evaluated, results were within prescribed limits and indicated good free flowing properties. The data obtained of post compression parameters such as weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting time, water absorption ratio, content uniformity, disintegration time and dissolution was found to superior over conventional formulation. The F9 batch with disintegrating time 10 ± 0.52 second and dissolution 93.20 ± 0.61 was selected as optimized formulation and was found superior over other formulation. Batch F9 was also subjected to stability studies for three months and was tested for its disintegrating time, drug contents and dissolution behavior monthly. F9 formulation after stability study was found to be stable.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Polymorphic impurities risk assessment & investigation
1. Polymorphic Impurities: Risk Assessment & Investigation
Introduction
Polymorphism arises when a solid compound present in two or more crystal forms. If
polymorphic impurities or anything else other than the predicted crystalline forms are present
in a drug substance of a pharmaceutical product, it may impact the performance, quality,
safety, efficacy and stability of the drug product. Different polymorphic forms can have
different melting points, spectral properties, and thermodynamic stability. Amorphous
Assessment of Risk to the Quality of Drug Substance and Drug Product
Polymorphs are one type of solid form. Other solid form types include solvates, hydrates, and
amorphous forms. Many organic and inorganic compounds, including drug substances, can
exist in multiple solid forms. In the manufacturing of drug substance, polymorphism of
crystals must be strictly controlled, because it significantly affects the bio-availability of a
drug Impurity is one of the important aspects in control of crystal polymorphism.
Polymorphism is regularly affected by a trace amount of impurities. Many drug substances
are synthesized through many reactions. It is significant to know the impact of the impurities
in presence of crystal polymorphs.
Crystallisation from different solvents may give rise to different crystal forms or solvates.
Excessive humidity or heat are the most visible cause of polymorphism. Changes in
polymorphism can also be induced as a significance of numerous common stages of drug
2. substance processing such as granulation, melting, spray drying, compression and milling that
are required to produce the final dosage form.
Investigation of Polymorphic Impurities
Powder X-ray diffractometry is a powerful analysis technique to detect trace impurities of
≤1%. X-ray diffraction patterns provide an influential technique to analyse different
crystalline or amorphous form of drug substance. XRD is perfect technique for the
estimation of polymorphic impurities due to its simple sample preparation and non-
destructive technique. XRD diffractogram characterizes a crystalline drug substance
“fingerprint” required for patent descriptions, and to classify different lots of drug substances.
Following are the usages of XRD techniques:
1. Detection of different form impurities,
2. Excipient compatibility study,
3. Crystal morphology of drug substance,
4. Drug substance and drug product stability or dosage uniformity of different batches,
5. Optimization of process parameters.
Other than XRD following are the useful techniques for solid-state characterization:
1. Melting point,
2. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC),
3. Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA),
4. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS)
5. Hot-Stage Microscopy (HSM),
6. Optical microscopy,
7. Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance,
8. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy,
9. Raman spectroscopy.
Conclusion:
Presence of polymorphic impurities may result into dissimilarity in pharmacological
properties, such as stability, solubility and, subsequently, safety, efficacy and bioavailability
of drug products. XRPD is the most appropriate technique used for detection of polymorphs.
Polymorphism to be checked in drug substance, during manufacturing and finished products
over the shelf life to ensure that there is no change into polymorphic form.
