Interest in Blend Uniformity
  • CGMPs require control procedures to monitor and
    validate the adequacy of mixing to assure
    uniformity and homogeneity
  • Problems in Blend Uniformity Analysis (BUA) using
    sample thieves.
  • Optimization of Blending is needed due to meet
    the strict requirements on drug distribution on
    final dosage form.

Notes on Standard Deviation Graph
  • Average standard deviation over the many
    wavelengths collected.
  • The standard deviation of spectra is a spectrum.
  • Rise at the end occurs after addition of
    magnesium stearate for lubrication.

Blend Uniformity within the PAT Context
  • Blending process will specify a range of mixing
    times.
  • Idea is that you mix until it is homogeneous
    rather than for a specific time point.
  • Will require some research to establish adequate
    manner to establish end-point.
  • Will you base your end-point on the homogeneity
    of API, or all excipients?
  • Will you evaluate the homogeneity of the blend
    from a chemical point of view, or from chemical
    physical points of view.

10
Recent Research
  • Compared three approaches to establishing end
    point monitoring changes in drug content,
    monitoring moving block std dev., and root mean
    standard nominal value (RMSNV).
  • RMSNV calculated from predictions of API,
    lactose, and microcrystalline cellulose.
  • Authors found that moving block method was not
    sensitive to changes in MCC and lactose since
    their spectra are similar.
  • Authors found RMSNV to be the most robust of the
    methods.

Theory of Analytical Chemistry
  • A guiding theory of analytical chemistry can be
    used to specify what information can be extracted
    from the data produced by an analytical
    instrument or method. In addition, it can be used
    to optimize existing analytical tools and direct
    researchers to construct more powerful analytical
    tools.

Analytical Chemistry, 1994, 66(15), 782 A 791A.
12
Chemometrics-Historical Perspective
  • In 1969, Jurs, Kowalski and Isenhour published a
    series of papers in Analytical Chemistry on the
    application learning machines to interpret mass
    and infrared spectra. Work focused on
    interpretation of data.
  • Growing belief that some of the new mathematical
    methods or theories, such as pattern recognition,
    information theory, operations research, etc.,
    are relevant to the basic aims of analytical
    chemistry, such as the evaluation, optimization,
    selection, classification, combination and
    assignment of procedures, in short all those
    processes involved in determining exactly which
    analytical procedure or programme should be used

13
Chemometrics-Historical Perspective II
  • June 1972 Wold uses the word chemometrics in
    paper published in Swedish journal. Calls his
    group Forkningsgruppen for Kemometri, and
    Kowalski calls his group the Laboratory of
    Chemometrics.
  • Wold and Kowalski form the Chemometrics society
    in 1974.
  • Early 1980s establishment of Center for Process
    Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) at the University of
    Washington, Seattle.
  • Partial least squares introduced by S. Wold and
    co-workers in 1983.
  • Journal of Chemometrics (Wiley) and Chemometrics
    and Intelligent Laboratory Systems (Elsevier)
    launched in 1986.

  • Chemometrics is a chemical discipline that
    uses mathematics, statistics and formal logic
  • to design or select optimal performance
    experimental procedures.
  • To provide maximum relevant chemical information
    by analyzing chemical data.
  • To obtain knowledge about chemical systems

15
The Chemometric Approach
  • First, establish a purpose
  • Simple Understanding Exploratory Analysis (look
    at the data, carefully examine it, get a simple
    visual idea about the main relationships between
    samples. Chromatogram may contain hundreds of
    peaks but the human eye cannot tell those that
    vary the most from sample to sample) Learn
  • Property Prediction regression modeling. Compare
    spectra or patterns. Model
  • Automate Routine Predictions if modeling
    succeeds.
  • Use

NIR in ID - Examples
Pattern recognition methods are used to compare
NIR spectra and measure similarity. Cannot do
visual comparison of spectra because of the wide
overlapping bands.
  • Pharmaceutical excipients, API, and other
    compounds may be identified by NIR. Blanco
    developed library at Menarini España for over 125
    excipients, that is still in use. M. Blanco and
    M. A. Romero, Near-infrared libraries in the
    pharmaceutical industry a solution for identity,
    The Analyst, 2001, 126, 22122217
  • ID of tablet formulations inside blisters.
    Distinguish between formulation with 66 active
    ingredient and two placebos. P.K. Aldridge, R.F.
    Mushinsky, M.M. Andino, and C.L. Evans, Appl.
    Spectrosc., 1994, 48, 1272 1276.
  • Identification of counterfeit drugs using NIR.
    S.H. Frasson Scafi, C. Pasquini, Analyst, 2001,
    126, 2218 2224.

17
NIR - Identification
  • Possibility of identifying all compounds within a
    pharmaceutical plant.
  • Method should be able to distinguish between
    polymorphs and materials that are chemically
    identical but may have different particle sizes.
  • Should be able to distinguish between different
    manufacturers or different grades of a product.

M. Blanco and M. Alcalà, Process Analytical
Technology, Blackwell Publishing, K. Bakeev. Ed.
18
ID of Raw Materials
  • Developed spectral library with about 125
    spectral excipients. A total of over 3000 spectra
  • Found that in most cases the correlation
    coefficient was sufficient to discriminate
    between the compounds.
  • At least 3 batches per substance were used with
    triplicate spectra, to have at least 9 spectra
    for each class.
  • Suggest idea of cascading identification.
    Identifying compound versus general library, and
    if inconclusive then a second smaller library is
    used.
  • Still in place, still working.

19
Steps for Develop ID Method - Blanco
  • Recording of NIR spectra using a set of known
    (Certificate of Analysis, mid-IR, etc.) samples
    from several batches of materials.
  • Constructing the spectral library (involves a
    number of steps).
  • Constructing sub-cascading libraries (that
    include mutually related materials.
  • External Validation (check system with validation
    set).

CASCADING LIBRARIES
Identification of Product within large library
Define a characteristic that differentiates
materials such as particle size or moisture.
Smaller spectral variability (differences in
impurity, origin of manufacture, etc)
M. Blanco and M. Alcalà, Process Analytical
Technology, Blackwell Publishing, K. Bakeev. Ed.
20
Constructing the Spectral Library Blanco (Step
2)
  • Choose pattern recognition method to use (vector
    correlation, distance, etc.).
  • Choose spectral pretreatment method, range of
    wavelengths, threshold.
  • Evaluate threshold, wavelength range, whether to
    keep spectral pretreatment.

23
Situation Analysis
  • NIR could easily analyze 30 40 tablets per hour
    with current existing technology.
  • A number of formulations are being approved with
    potent drug (low drug content).
  • A 0.2 mg aggregate of drug is not important in a
    100 mg unit dose, but is important in a 0.1mg
    unit dose.
  • USP requires analysis of 10 30 tablets in a
    batch that may include 3,000,000 or more tablets.
  • Sometimes one tablet is outside of USP limits,
    and an investigation is required.

Quantitation of drug content in a low dosage
formulation by Transmission Near Infrared
Spectroscopy, 2006, 7(1), Article 29
(http//www.aapspharmscitech.org).
24
Application
  • Calibration set with 110 tablets of 0.5, 0.7,
    and 1.0 (w/w) ibuprofen. Average tablet weight
    was about 250 mg.
  • Transmittance Spectra obtained.
  • 48 independent tablets in validation set.
  • Used UV method as reference method for drug
    content.

Calibration is the mathematical and statistical
process of extracting information, usually
analyte concentration, from the instrument signal
(Booksh and Kowalski).
25
Exploratory Analysis. Want to relate changes in
the spectra to changes in drug concentration or
other property.
Variation Implies Information !!
26
Partial Least Squares (PLS) MODEL
  • The PLS algorithm will decompose the X and Y
    data, obtaining the maximum covariance between
    the X and Y variables.
  • Develop a set of vectors that relate the changes
    in the spectra (variation patterns) to the
    changes in the drug content.

Calibration with Error
  • Three types of error
  • Random error in the reference laboratory values
  • Random error in the optical data
  • Systematic error in the relationship between
    these two. (e.g. Differences in the sample size
    of the two methods sampling error)

Provided a statistical proof to show that the
coefficient of variance (CV) of sampling portions
is greater than or equal to the CV of sampling
whole units.

Fluid Bed Granulation Drying
  • Developed calibration models to monitor KF and
    LOD during drying of granulations.
  • Initial work in 65L 300 L were performed with
    fiber optic probe inserted directly into the bowl
    without sample cup, but obtained spectra of low
    signal to noise ratio.
  • Overcame problem with device to collect
    stationary sample (Fig. 2)

Fluid Bed Granulation Drying
38
FBD Application
  • Collected nearly 750 in-line NIR spectra and
    pulled 119 samples for KF reference analysis,
    ranging from 3.65 - 25.24 (w/w)
  • Graph shows measurements every 70 s. Obtained
    RMSE of 0.7 from 3.6-10, and 0.2 in range of
    3.6 5.5.
  • Observed a number of spikes that appear to be
    related to moist material discharged from
    filters. Indicate that this was never observed
    before monitoring with NIR.

Method accuracy depended on calibration range.
RMSEC, RMSECV, RMSEP were smaller as the high end
of calibration range was decreased. Residual
errors were higher at higher moistures. Indicate
It was determined that discrepancy in sampling
location plays a role in the magnitude of
prediction residuals and therefore apparent
method accuracy. Modified sample cup to allow
retrieving sample with thief (Fig 2c).
39
FDB Application
  • After modifying the sample cup considered that
    the new cup performs better but some sampling
    error was still occurring.
  • Established two calibration models, one with a
    wide calibration range, and a second with a 4
    5 (w/w) range based on endpoint for the
    formulation.
