QTPP of NLC
S. No. | QTPP | Target | Justification |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Dosage form | Lipid based formulation | Selection of NLC, which is lipid based enhances the oral bioavailability of lipid soluble, BCS class II drugs |
2 | Dosage shape | Spherical | High surface area, high rate of drug release |
3 | Dosage type | Controlled release | Low dosing frequency |
4 | Dosage strength | X (mg) | Required dose to be incorporated in formulation to provide therapeutic benefit |
5 | Pharmacokinetics | Cmax, AUC | High AUC and Cmax are required to achieve higher plasma drug concentration and thus higher oral bioavailability |
6 | Route of administration | Oral | Good patient compliance, non-invasive |
7 | Container and closure | Air-tight amber color bottle | To protect drug degradation from light and moisture |
8 | Stability | At least 12 months at room temperature | To maintain the therapeutic activity of the drug during the storage period |
AUC: area under curve; BCS: biopharmaceutical classification system; Cmax: maximum plasma concentration; S. No.: serial number
