Role of hplc in process development

Analytical technology transfer and manufacturing is the mechanism by which knowledge acquired about a process for making a pharmaceutical active ingredient or dosage form during the clinical development phase is transferred from research and development to commercial scale-up operation or shared between internal groups or with third parties. Analytical technology transfer guarantees that laboratories can routinely execute tests, obtain acceptable results, and be able to accurately and independently judge the quality of commercial batches.

In the drug discovery area, a compound with desired therapeutic properties is identified, and its structure may be modified by synthetic alterations to enhance potency and specificity or to decrease toxicity and undesired side effects. The lead drug candidate is then transitioned into the drug development area. Only small amounts of drug (typically less than a gram) are required to support the required studies in the Drug Discovery area. However larger amounts are required to support the studies conducted in the Drug Development area.

Great efficiencies have been achieved in the drug discovery process as a result of technological advances in target identification, high-throughput screening, high-throughput organic synthesis, just-in-time in vitro ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), and early pharmacokinetic screening of drug leads. These advances, spanning target selection all the way through to clinical candidate selection, have placed greater and greater demands on the analytical community to develop robust high-throughput methods.
