CD Formulation specializes in providing precise accelerated stability analysis services for nucleic acid drugs. By integrating cutting-edge testing methods with extensive expertise, we ensure the effectiveness and safety of nucleic acid drugs under accelerated simulation conditions.
Accelerated stability primarily examines the effects of temperature and humidity on drugs. These conditions are set higher than typical storage to expedite chemical or physical changes, providing valuable data for formulation design, process improvement, quality research, packaging design, product transport, and storage solutions.
Table 1. Conditions for Accelerated Stability Analysis of Different Formulation Types
Formulation Type | Experimental Conditions | Relative Humidity |
---|---|---|
Temperature-insensitive formulations | 40 ±2℃ | 75%±5% |
Temperature-sensitive formulations | 25℃±2℃ | 65%±5% |
Frozen drug formulations | 2-8℃/ 25℃±2℃ | - |
Emulsions, ointments, suspensions, gels, aerosols, suppositories... | 30℃±2℃ | 65%±5% |
Semipermeable container-packaged formulations (e.g., ophthalmic formulations...) | 40℃±2℃ | 25%±5% |
Experiment Plan Design: Tailor accelerated stability test plans according to drug characteristics and expected storage conditions, selecting appropriate temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions.
Sample Selection and Preparation: Choose samples from different batches and formulation types to ensure comprehensive testing.
Evaluate how nucleic acid drugs perform under various physical stresses, like freeze-thaw cycles and shear force. These tests, common during transport and storage, help to identify potential risks of physical degradation, ensuring product consistency and safety throughout the supply chain. The evaluation may also include other physical parameters like light and humidity shifts to gather extensive stability data.
Focus on detecting changes in key quality metrics of nucleic acid drugs under accelerated conditions, analyzing drug purity and active ingredient content regularly. This assessment predicts long-term stability, ensuring drug efficacy and safety throughout its shelf life. The process provides essential scientific proof for adjusting formulations and optimizing storage conditions, significantly enhancing the product's quality and market competitiveness.

First, collect and prepare the nucleic acid drug samples to be tested, ensuring consistent storage and handling conditions before testing to avoid initial bias.
Define specific accelerated environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, and plan the test duration to simulate the effects of long-term storage.
Regularly conduct physical and chemical evaluations of the samples, including measurements of appearance, solubility, and pH, along with chemical composition analysis using HPLC or mass spectrometry.
Assess the biological functions of the samples to ensure their bioactivity remains unchanged under accelerated conditions, for instance, using ELISA or bioassays.
Compile and analyze the data obtained from testing, providing a detailed stability report that includes the stability performance of the samples at various testing stages and corresponding recommendations.
