Forced degradation studies
- Defining the degradation pathway of your drug substance & product.
- Assessing & validating the stability indicating power of your methods will require the subjection of your molecule to extreme stress conditions.
Relevant stress conditions are:- Light
- Heat (Temperature)
- Humidity
- Hydrolysis (acid/base)
- Oxidation
- Agitation
- Freeze/Thaw cycling
- Deamidation
- Target % of degradation will depend on your molecule & the method capabilities.
