Unit-wise Syllabus

5 Units
1
Parenteral Products9 Hours
  • Parenteral formulations: large volume parenterals (LVP) — IV fluids, TPN; small volume parenterals (SVP) — injections, lyophilised products; routes (IV, IM, SC, intradermal)
  • Water for injection (WFI): standards, production (distillation, membrane technology), storage, quality testing (TOC, conductivity, bacterial endotoxins, microbial limit tests)
  • Parenteral formulation: vehicles (water, non-aqueous: oils, propylene glycol); tonicity adjustment; pH adjustment and buffer systems; antioxidants; antimicrobial preservatives; chelating agents
2
Sterile Manufacturing and Quality Control9 Hours
  • Aseptic manufacturing: EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) requirements; cleanroom classification; aseptic processing simulation (media fills); laminar airflow workstations (LAFW) and isolators; RABS (Restricted Access Barrier System)
  • Terminal sterilisation: moist heat (F0 calculation); dry heat depyrogenation (FH value); radiation; filtration sterilisation — 0.22 μm membrane; SAL (10-6) requirements
  • Quality control of sterile products: sterility testing (USP <71>); particulate matter testing (visual inspection, HIAC); container closure integrity testing (CCIT); endotoxin testing (LAL)
3
Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery Systems9 Hours
  • Polymeric nanoparticles: PLGA, PLA, PCL nanoparticles — preparation (nanoprecipitation, emulsion-solvent evaporation), characterisation (DLS, TEM, DSC), drug loading and release
  • Dendrimers: structure (core, branching units, surface groups); PAMAM dendrimers; drug loading (encapsulation, surface conjugation); pharmaceutical applications in anticancer drug delivery
  • Carbon nanotubes and graphene-based drug delivery: functionalisation, biocompatibility issues, drug loading mechanisms; regulatory challenges for nanomedicine
4
Biopolymers and Smart Drug Delivery9 Hours
  • Hydrogels: classification (physical/chemical crosslinking, natural/synthetic); stimuli-responsive hydrogels — pH-responsive, thermosensitive (PNIPAM), redox-responsive; applications in sustained release
  • Microspheres and microcapsules: PLGA microspheres by double emulsion-solvent evaporation; poly-lactic acid (PLA) microspheres; microencapsulation of hormones, proteins, vaccines
  • Albumin nanoparticles, chitosan nanoparticles: preparation, surface modification; mucoadhesive systems; gene delivery vectors (lipoplexes, polyplexes)
5
Regulatory Requirements for Sterile and NDDS Products9 Hours
  • Regulatory requirements for sterile products: ICH Q2 (analytical), ICH Q3 (impurities), ICH Q6A (specifications), ICH Q8 (pharmaceutical development) as applied to parenteral products
  • Regulatory pathway for nanomedicines: FDA guidance for industry on drug products containing nanomaterials; EMA reflection paper on nanomedicines; characterisation requirements; non-clinical safety studies
  • CTD sections for sterile and NDDS products: Module 3 structure for sterile injectables; ICH Q8 design space for aseptic process; Module 4 non-clinical safety data requirements for novel delivery systems
