SOP for Chemical Stability Testing of Liposome Formulations

SOP for Chemical Stability Testing of Liposome Formulations

Chemical Stability Testing of Liposome Formulations

1) Purpose

The purpose of this SOP is to outline the procedure for conducting chemical stability testing on liposome formulations. Chemical stability testing evaluates the integrity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the excipients within the liposomal formulation over time, ensuring that no degradation products or other chemical changes compromise the product’s efficacy or safety.

2) Scope

This SOP applies to personnel involved in the quality control and stability testing of liposomal drug formulations. It covers the testing of the API, lipids, and other excipients to assess degradation, interactions, or loss of potency during storage under different conditions.

3) Responsibilities

4) Procedure

4.1 Preparation for Chemical Stability Testing

4.2 Parameters for Chemical Stability Testing

The following parameters should be monitored during chemical stability testing:

4.3 Sampling and Testing Time Points

4.4 Data Recording and Analysis

4.5 Criteria for Chemical Stability

The liposomal formulation is considered chemically stable if it meets the following criteria throughout the study:

5) Abbreviations, if any

6) Documents, if any

7) References, if any
