Drug development regulation

Within this framework, we provide below an overview of the current regulatory procedures in Europe. We address the practical aspects of regulating drug development, the MA processes and other activities such as advertising regulations in the EU. 

The exact role of individual histone acetylations will have to be determined in the context of other modifications and the number of lysine residues effected. However, the general importance of histone acetylation as a regulator for chromatin activity is undisputed. This leads to the intriguing possibility to develop drugs that target histone acetylation for therapeutic purposes. The primary targets for drug development are the histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and the histone deacetylases (HDACs) which introduce and remove histone acetylations [2, 3]. 

It was with this quotation from Cuatresecas that I closed my previous work on industrial HPLC,2 and it was the inspiration to write this book. Cuatresecas rightly refutes the misconception that dedication, quality, vision, trust, and honesty are inimical to profit. By historical accident, the American drug industry was driven by regulation to develop quality standards at a period in time when other segments of industry were degrading their scientific...

The criteria used by the CBER and CDER regulators in assessing product performance during the drug development process are similar, i.e. safety, quality and efficacy. However, the administrative details can vary in both name and content. Upon concluding preclinical trials, all... 

Substance P, an undecapeptide, is abundant both in the periphery and in the central nervous system. It is usually co-localized with one of the classical neurotransmitters, most commonly serotonin. Substance P is thought to have a role in the regulation of pain, asthma, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and, in the CNS, emesis, migraine, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. The substance-P-preferring receptor neurokinin-1 has been focused on most intensively in drug development, and existing...

The first edition1 of this book was published approximately 13 years ago. Its primary objective was to present an overview and a "roadmap" of the process of new drug discovery and development, particularly oriented to individuals or companies entering the pharmaceutical field. It was written by one of the authors (Smith), with no contributors, and drawn on Smith s experiences in the industry and field over the course of nearly 40 years. In the second edition, the scope of the first book has been expanded and technical details in the form of hard data have been included. In addition to the editors own commentary and contributions, the major part of the book is the result of contributions of experts in the industry. New chapters on risk assessment, international harmonization of drug development and regulation, dietary supplements, patent law, and entrepreneurial startup of a new pharmaceutical company have been added. Some of the important, basic operational aspects of drug discovery and development (e.g., organizational matters, staff requirements, pilot plant operations, etc.) are not repeated in this book but can be found in the first edition.
