Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control Requirements for New Drug Application



In my previous posting, I discussed the general overview of new drug development in the US and FDA's role in the process. In this article I am focusing on the Chemistry portion of a New Drug Application (NDA) which was my expertise when I was still working for FDA. I worked for FDA from September, 1990 up to October, 2002. Twelve productive years of my professional career.

I am listing below a table of all Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control(CMC) guidance both in draft and final form. As a former Chemistry team leader in one of the divisions in the Center of New Drugs, I have some input on the contents of a few of these guidance. These guidance are available in the Internet for everyone.

Below is a table of Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) Guidance showing,
category, title status( draft or final) and date.

My election to the United States Pharmacopeia Council of Experts is one of the highlight of my career with FDA

As a Chemistry Team Leader, you need to be familiar with contents of these 43 guidances, so when representatives from the Pharmaceutical firms ask you a question, you should be able to refer them to the guidance. If you can answer their question without referring to the guidance, the firm's representative look at you with high regard and respect. It is therefore imperative that you know most of the important requirements for an NDA submission as well as the post NDA requirements in the manufacture, chemistry and controls of an IND or NDA. A Guidance is not a Federal Regulation/Law. 21CFR (Code of Federal Regulation), gives FDA mandate to enforce drug and food laws in US. Source: www.fda.gov

My twelve years in FDA was the happiest and most productive years of my professional life. Macrine and my involvement with the Filipino-American community in the tristate area will also be memories that we will never forget.
