Control Strategies for Synthetic Therapeutic Peptide APIs-Part I : Analytical Consideration

The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) Therapeutic Peptides Expert Panel was formed in 2013 to evaluate quality attributes for synthetic peptides based on currently available regulatory guidance and expectations. Public quality standards for drug products and drug substances are developed by USP and enforceable by FDA. This series of three articles by the Panel explores the current manufacturing and regulatory landscape and provides a comprehensive overview of quality attributes to be considered for successful synthetic peptide active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) development from manufacturing to lot release. Specifically, the first article covers analytical characterization methods, lot release tests, and points to consider for synthetic peptide API manufacturers entering the market. The second article will focus on quality control of raw materials and impurities resulting from the starting materials used for peptide synthesis. The last article will be devoted to manufacturing processes and impurity control of synthetic peptide APIs.
