DRUGS TECHNOLOGY is one of the basic disciplines of pharmaceutical education, which main task is study of the theoretical bases of manufacturing processing of drugs formulation, their standardizing, storage and release.

Features of Industrial drugs technology: 1. It is characterized by a high degree of development, as wide use machines, devices, mechanized and automated lines lays in its basis. 2. The work of the industrial enterprise is characterized by a strict regulation and planning of manufacture, as the processing of big amount of a material is carried out.

Registration of pharmaceutical preparations 1. Chemical-pharmaceutical company can produce medicine only after its state registration. 2. For registration the medicines manufacturer has got to submit the set of documents to the State Pharmacological Center. 3. Ministry of Health provides state registration of medicines on the basis of examination of registrations documents, which is submitted to the State Pharmacological Center. 4. Ministry of Health gives permission in the form of registration certificate on the 5 year.

State registration of medicines - a procedure that is performed in accordance with current legislation in order to approve medical use of medicines.

The Common Technical Document (CTD) is a set of specification for application dossier for the registration of Medicines and designed to be used across Europe, Japan and the United States. It was developed by the European Medicines Agency (Europe), the Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japan). The CTD is maintained by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH).

The Common Technical Document is divided into five modules: 1. Administrative and prescribing information 2. Overview and summary of modules 3 to 5 3. Quality (pharmaceutical documentation) 4. Safety (toxicology studies) 5. Efficacy (clinical studies)

Reference documentation is any document establishing rules, general principles or characteristics concerning different kinds of activity or its results. They should provide quality and efficiency of medical products on the basis of science and technology advances. There are uniform requirements for design, order of development, coordination and establishing of the reference documents for pharmaceuticals, medical goods, veterinary production and nutrients manufactured on chemical and pharmaceutical enterprises.

The reference documents are subdivided into the following categories: 1. Manufacturing and technical rules; 2. State pharmacopoeia (SF); 3. Monographs; 4. Analytical reference documentation (ARD); 5. State standards (StSt); 6. Branch standards (BST); 7. Specifications; 8. Guideline documents - manuals, methodical instructions, etc.; 9. Operating instructions.

Monograph or Analytical reference documentation is a reference document establishing the requirements for quality monitoring of a drug product, its packing, storage conditions and shelf-life. Monographs or ARD are adopted for any pharmaceutical or crude drug, allowed for medical use and industrial manufacturing by Ministry of Health.

Production process of pharmaceuticals is guided by production rules - the manufacturing and technical ones. Manufacturing rules - the reference document describing the consequence of all operating procedures and used equipment, establishing all manufacturing parameters and sites of quality monitoring and containing specifications on starting materials, intermediates and final products.

The sections of MR : 1. The characteristic of a finished product. 2. Manufacturing flowchart and operation process: The flowchart of manufacture; The characteristics of starting material, materials and intermediates; The description of operation stages; Material balance. 3. In-process control. 4. Appendices: The list of technological instructions. The list of report blanks.

Technical rules represent the reference document establishing the conditions providing an appropriate quality of medical products with respect to a particular complex of the process equipment. Technical rules cover preparing of laboratory, pilot and manufacturing premises and the personnel for work; sanitary-and-hygienic conditioning of manufacture; the requirements for occupational safety, safety precautions, fire safety, environment control; equipment operation etc. Requirements of the given rules guarantee quality of released production, rational carrying out of technical processes, preservation of the equipment, exception of an opportunity of occurrence of failures and environmental contaminations.

Material balance (mass balance) is a ratio between starting materials and obtained ones as the result of manufacturing process. It allows to compare theoretically possible and actual yields of final goods. In absence of rejects and by-products the material balance equation is simplified as: m raw materials = m finish product + m losses

Several parameters are used for characteristic of manufacturing process. They are calculated from material balance: 1. output of product ( ,%) 2. losses ( ,%) 3. factor of account (or input-output characteristic - K) (Fa)

Account parameters of material balance 1. Output of product ( ,%) - product yield η = m fp /m rm *100 % 2. Production loss ( ,%) ε = m l /m rm* 100 % 3. Factor of account ( consumption factor – F (K) F = m rm /m fp

Process flowsheet (flowchart) - a sequence and description of all stages in manufacturing of a product.

FLOCHART Principle of flowcharts composition

A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting these with arrows.

This diagrammatic representation can give a step-by-step solution to a given problem.

Data flows are not typically represented in a flowchart, in contrast with data flow diagrams; rather, they are implied by the sequencing of operations.

Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.

Flowcharts are used in designing and documenting complex processes. Like other types of diagram, they help visualize what is going on and thereby help the viewer to understand a process, and perhaps also find flaws.

The two most common types of boxes in a flowchart are: a processing step, usually called activity, and denoted as a rectangular box; a decision, usually denoted as a diamond.

Common alternate names include: flowchart, process flowchart, functional flowchart, process map, process chart, functional process chart, business process model, process model, process flow diagram, work flow diagram, business flow diagram.

Technological flowchart is the visual display of dosage production. Technological flowchart (Process flowsheet) - a sequence and description of all stages in manufacturing of a product.

Arrows Showing "flow of control". An arrow coming from one symbol and ending at another symbol represents that control passes to the symbol the arrow points to.
