Time stability of a drug molecule sterilized through gamma rays.

In a previous work, we studied the possibility to process a drug molecule through a gamma rays sterilizing treatment. Optimal process conditions were studied and the related effects on the treated molecule were analyzed, as well. From obtained results, we concluded that there are not any contraindications to apply this sterilization process to the molecule treated.

Approach to the sterilization with gamma rays of a drug. Note I: Treatment technique and effects at zero time.

Authors, considering a possible use of the sterilizing treatment with gamma rays for the productive process of a drug, performed a series of practical treatment tests. To this purpose, they used a single molecule, stable in time and with an easy analytical approach. The examined active principle is the injectable salt of acetylcarnitine chloride.
