Synopsis

How to hone your analytical skills and obtain high-quality data in the era of GMP requirements
With increased regulatory pressures on the pharmaceutical industry, there is a growing need for capable analysts who can ensure appropriate scientific practices in laboratories and manufacturing sites worldwide. Based on Johnson & Johnson's acclaimed in-house training program, this practical guide provides guidance for laboratory analysts who must juggle the Food and Drug Administration's good manufacturing practices (GMP) rules with rapidly changing analytical technologies. Highly qualified industry experts walk readers step-by-step through the concepts, techniques, and tools necessary to perform analyses in an FDA-regulated environment, including clear instructions on all major analytical chemical methods-from spectroscopy to chromatography to dissolution. An ideal manual for formal training as well as an excellent self-study guide, Analytical Chemistry in a GMP Environment features:
* The drug development process in the pharmaceutical industry
* Uniform and consistent interpretation of GMP compliance issues
* A review of the role of statistics and basic topics in analytical chemistry
* An emphasis on high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods
* Chapters on detectors and quantitative analysis as well as data systems
* Methods for ensuring that instruments meet standard operating procedures (SOP) requirements
* Extensive appendixes for unifying terms, symbols, and procedural information

Preface

In his Foreword and elsewhere, Layloff has described the need for more and better training of pharmaceutical laboratory analysts, as perceived by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To meet their own needs, the FDA produced a series of self-training aids that could be used in their testing laboratories. Many others are equally aware of the need for training because of the constant introduction of new methods, the increasing demands for better analyses, and the fact that little or no discussion of government regulations is presented in the traditional undergraduate educational program of chemists. Johnson & Johnson recognized this need in the spring of 1996 and began the development of an in-house training course. With the help of academic and industrial consultants, the course was first offered in October 1996 and became the basis for this text.

From the onset, the Johnson & Johnson Laboratory Analyst Training and Certification Program's (LATCP) objective has been to provide lecture and laboratory work in analytical chemical methods and in government regulations (CGMPs) and procedures. The two-week-long course has been presented over 20 times to over 300 analysts, selected from J&J sites around the world. A special facility was constructed for this purpose at the IRI Trials Management Center in New Jersey; more details on the program can be found in a recent trade publication.

This book is a natural outgrowth of the LATCP and is being published to make the contents of the program available more widely. The level of the material is that which has been found suitable for the participants in the course, who, on average, hold bachelor's degrees in chemistry and already have some experience in the pharmaceutical laboratory; these are typical recruitment criteria for J&J analysts.

The introductory chapter provides an orientation to the drug development process that might not be familiar to new employees in the pharmaceutical industry. Two chapters follow on regulations and compendia. Together these chapters should serve as a basis for understanding the issues in this regulated industry.

The middle chapters cover some basics of analytical chemistry of relevance to this audience, beginning with statistics and a quick review of equilibrium and solution chemistry. While this material may be too elementary for some, we have discovered that many students in our course are deficient in basic concepts such as significant figures, so such topics are included. The major quantitative techniques covered next are spectroscopy (UV and IR), chromatography (GC, LC, HPLC, and TLC), and dissolution. Of these, HPLC is unquestionably the most important and is the focus of much of the material throughout the book.

The final chapters cover detectors (mainly chromatographic), quantitative analysis, and data systems, plus the special topics of method development (based mainly on HPLC), qualification of instruments, and validation and method transfer.

A multiauthor work such as this one runs the risk of being fragmented and uneven. We have tried valiantly to make it as unified as possible, drawing on our shared teaching experience with the LATCP course. It is, of course, impossible to define a single set of symbols when the topics are so diverse. Appendix I lists the terms and symbols used, noting overlaps in an attempt to keep confusion to a minimum. In chromatography, the IUPAC symbols are used, not those of the USP. This anticipates that USP will eventually adopt the IUPAC system in the spirit of unity and international cooperation. Other appendixes include the terms and some procedures used by another international group, ICH.

Being written to accompany the LATCP course, this book is intended for individual use by laboratory analysts. We have attempted to keep it as succinct as possible and provide su1/2cient detail, given the wide range of subject matter. The editor and the publisher welcome suggestions and comments for future editions.

We want to acknowledge the two persons who are most responsible for initiating and guiding this project: Hank Avallone, Juanita Hawkins and Nancy Corkum. Their vision, commitment, and support were crucial. In addition, we want to acknowledge the efforts of the LATCP Managers, Pat Magliozzi and Tom Caglioti.

Each of the authors is lauded for her/his efforts to produce a concise chapter within the limitations of time and page length. We also wish to thank the many content reviewers for their valuable time and expertise. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the tedious clerical support by IRI, especially Diane Kelly, Katherine Miles, and Patty Raymondi.
