Current regulatory (draft) guidance on chiral medicinal products: Canada, EEC, Japan, United States

Abstract: The rapid development of stereospecific analytical, synthetic, and preparative methods has profoundly changed the prospects for development and application of chiral medicinal products. This has induced regulatory agencies, e.g., in Canada, the EEC, Japan, and the United States, to prepare guidance on this subject. The present draft documents are discussed, with emphasis on the two most important cases: (1) New racemates: How many extra requirements are justified? (2) Development of a single enantiomer from an… Show more

“…In the mid 1980s, apparently suddenly, the composite character of racemic therapeutics was highlighted [1]. In awareness that usually only one of the isomers fully contributes to the desired therapeutic acitvity and the other must be classified as an unwanted byproduct, the current regulatory guidelines on chiral drugs were formulated [2,3]. The importance of investigating drug enantiomers in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies is emphasized and justification of the choice of a racemate on a scientific basis is required.…”

“…The issue of chirality to avoid unnecessary drug burden on the body has also emerged as a factor in decision making for the selection of lead compound for further studies in drug discovery process, as enantiomers often differ in their pharmacological activity, toxicity and pharmacokinetic characteristics [25][26][27] . This prompted us to undertake pharmacokinetic study of racemic compound along with resolved individual optical isomers in laboratory animals.…”

“…3 The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and other regulatory agencies have made it mandatory for the manufacturers to investigate each enantiomer of the chiral drug individually. 4 According to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, chiral identity, enantiomeric impurity and chiral assay tests are required for product specifications. 5 Chromatographic techniques, especially by HPLC have been given priority for the separation of enantiomers during the past several decades.…”
