Drug development process stability role

In summary, TLC analysis plays a critical role in the drug development process. Many instruments are available, and the technique is used for both quantitative and qualitative testing. i f determination, identity testing, and stability testing are just a few ways to utilize TLC. 

Abstract The purpose of this chapter is introducing the goal of stability testing and its role in the Drug Development Process. It gives a brief overview of how stability studies are designed to support the development and commercialization of a new medicine. This chapter also acquaints the reader to the content of this book. 

In this chapter, the focus is on chemistry. This focus is not confined to ways to make compounds in the screening libraries it encompasses broader issues, such as the quality of the bbrary, its biological relevance, and such andal practical matters as compound purity, stability, and solubility. The pivotal role of the compound library in every pharmaceutical company is illustrated in Fig. 28.1, where the drug discovery and development process is flanked by the two key disciplines, biology and chanistry.
