- Abstract
The good manufacturing practices (GMP) and process analytical technology (PAT) initiatives of the US Food and Drug Administration, in conjunction with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) quality guidelines Q8, Q9, and Q10, ensure that manufacturing processes for parenteral formulations meet the requirements of increasingly strict regulations. This involves the selection of suitable process analytics for process integration and aseptic processing. In this article, we discuss the PAT requirements for the GMP-compliant manufacturing of parenteral lipid emulsions, which can be used for clinical nutrition or for the delivery of lipophilic active ingredients. There are risks associated with the manufacturing processes, including the potential for unstable emulsions and the formation of large droplets that can induce embolisms in the patient. Parenteral emulsions are currently monitored offline using a statistical approach. Inline analytics, supplemented by measurements of zeta potential, could minimize the above risks. Laser scanning technology, ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy, and photo-optical sensors combined with image analysis may prove to be useful PAT methods. In the future, these technologies could lead to better process understanding and control, thus improving production efficiency.
