Generic drugs are accounted for majority of medicinal products. To reduce the unnecessary review for incomplete dossiers of generic drugs, Taiwanese government launched a refuse-to-file (RTF) process since 2017. The present study aimed to examine the outcome of RTF process by analyzing application characteristic, RTF rate and deficiencies found in the submitted dossiers. Descriptive analyses of administrative information, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, bioequivalence study, and comparative dissolution testing were presented during the first 6 months after the implementation of RTF policy. The results showed that the source of application was likely a determinant to the RTF outcome, i.e., foreign rather than domestic applications were more liable to be RTF. It is possibly that (i) RTF applications were mainly due to incomplete dossiers regarding bioequivalence study and comparative dissolution testing, and (ii) the studies (bioequivalence and dissolution) of domestic applications conducted locally are exempted from the RTF process because they are allowed to submit for review before generic drug applications. Finally, the dossier integrity appeared not improved during the period of analysis as the number of RTF did not reduce by month. Results of the present study may help pharmaceutical industry to improve the dossiers' quality by fixing the deficiencies of generic drug submission.

Comparisons of maximum drug concentration (C) and total area under the concentration vs. time curve (AUC) may be inadequate for bioavailability (BA)/bioequivalence (BE) assessments in cases where the shape of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a drug impacts the clinical performance. In such cases, partial area under the concentration vs.

Permeability is a measure of the degree to which cells can transport molecules across biological barriers. Units of permeability are distance per unit time (typically cm/s), where accurate measurements are needed to define drug delivery in homeostasis and to model dysfunction occurring during disease. This perspective offers a set of community-led guidelines to benchmark permeability data across multidisciplinary approaches and different biological contexts.

SGLT2 inhibitors have emerged as a remarkable class of drugs, revolutionizing the management of various medical conditions beyond their initial purpose of controlling diabetes. With their proven benefits in cardiovascular health, kidney disease, hypertension, and even potential applications in cancer treatment, SGLT2 inhibitors have broadened their scope. While concerns about adverse effects and contraindications exist, these medications hold great promise for a diverse range of patients.

Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium that is ubiquitous in animals and humans, with some strains capable of causing disease. The aim of this study was to perform a comparative genomic analysis of 2,732 generic E. coli isolates that were recovered from poultry samples collected from six regions in Canada as part of the National Microbiological Baseline study in Broiler Chicken.

Current in vitro cell-based methods, relying on single cell types, have structural and functional limitations in determining lung drug permeability, which is a contributing factor affecting both local and systemic drug levels. To address this issue, we investigated a 3D human lung airway model generated using a cell culture insert, wherein primary human lung epithelial and endothelial cells were cocultured at an air-liquid interface (ALI). To ensure that the cell culture mimics the physiological and functional characteristics of airway tissue, the model was characterized by evaluating several parameters such as cellular confluency, ciliation, tight junctions, mucus-layer formation, transepithelial electrical resistance, and barrier function through assaying fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran permeability.
