Within the main area of activity of the Drug Development Center (the Center) are research and development initiatives on creation of novel drugs and carrying out applied research in pharmacology.
The laboratory for dosage form development acting within the Center carries out development of both original and generic drugs in various dosage forms.
The laboratory is engaged in development of the drug manufacturing technology, creation of scientific and technical documentation for drugs and technology transfer to the manufacturing site.
The Center also includes the analytical laboratory, where analysis of the developed original and generic drugs is performed using the most advanced instrumental methods. Besides, this laboratory develops new or modifies the existing chemical analytical methods, performs validation, and prepares normative documentation.
The primary objects of studies are active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and dosage forms.
The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art high-accuracy equipment meeting the standards to guarantee the high level of studies.
assignment of storage conditions and periods for APIs and drug products.
tentative forecast of the results of pre-clinical trials to be used on the clinical stage.
Advisory support in preparation of field-specific publications.
Evaluation of the scientific capability and correctness of documentation included into the registration file (dossier) for drug products (reports on pre-clinical and clinical trials, literature reviews, manufacturer's monographs, investigator's brochure, etc.) in case of drug buy and sell transactions.
For the last 5 years, the Drug Development Center has obtained 7 patents, one out of which is a European one, and has published 20 articles in scientific periodicals listed by the Higher Attestation Commission.
The Center actively collaborates with the top universities of the country in training of qualified staff for the pharmaceutical industry. In the laboratories of the Center, students undertake internship, prepare the graduate thesis, and participate in research activities of the Institute.
