Purpose: This commentary is intended to provide a scientific perspective on pharmaceutical solid polymorphism in Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs).

Methods: This report proposes recommendations for monitoring and controlling drug substance polymorphs and describes scientific considerations of pharmaceutical solid polymorphism in the determination of drug substance sameness.

Results: It presents three decision trees for solid oral dosage forms or liquids containing undissolved drug substances to provide a process for evaluating when and how polymorphs of drug substances are monitored and controlled in ANDA submissions.

Conclusions: It is scientifically concluded that differences in polymorphic composition of drug substances in generic drug products and reference-listed drugs are not directly relevant in the determination of drug substance sameness in ANDAs.

Background: A precise observation is that the cervix's solid tumors possess hypoxic regions where the oxygen concentration drops below 1.5%. Hypoxia negatively impacts the host's immune system and significantly diminishes the effectiveness of several treatments, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA. Electronic address:

Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)-based in situ forming implants are liquid formulations that solidify through phase separation following injection into the body. Drug is dissolved or suspended in the final formulation liquid prior to injection. Depending on the polymers used, the depots formed can deliver drug over different periods of time.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common neglected parasitic disease. Nanoparticles containing drugs have been widely utilized in various formulations for several purposes, including improving the bioavailability of drugs by increasing the solubility and dissolution rate of the nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of solid lipid nanoparticles containing albendazole and conjugated to albumin (B-SLN + ABZ) as a novel treatment approach for hydatid cysts in vivo.

Hypoxic tumors are radioresistant stemming from the fact that oxygen promotes reactive oxygen species (ROS) propagation after water radiolysis and stabilizes irradiation-induced DNA damage. Therefore, an attractive strategy to radiosensitize solid tumors is to increase tumor oxygenation at the time of irradiation, ideally above a partial pressure of 10 mm-Hg at which full radiosensitization can be reached. Historically, the many attempts to increase vascular O delivery have had limited efficacy, but mathematical models predicted that inhibiting cancer cell respiration would be more effective.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies with poor prognosis. The use of organoids to simulate gastric cancer has rapidly developed over the past several years. Patient-derived gastric cancer organoids serve as in vitro models that closely mimics donor characteristics, offering new opportunities for both basic and applied research.
