What Is Irinotecan?
Irinotecan is a topoisomerase i inhibitor used for metastatic colorectal cancer. Camptothecin derivative for FOLFIRI regimen in metastatic colorectal cancer. pH-sensitive aqueous formulation. Burrard Pharmaceuticals offers complete technology transfer know-how packages for Irinotecan manufacturing, including master batch formulas, manufacturing process parameters, stability data, and CTD/eCTD regulatory dossier templates.
Manufacturing Overview
Irinotecan manufacturing requires GMP-compliant facilities with cytotoxic containment capabilities. The formulation process involves precise compounding, pH adjustment, sterile filtration, aseptic filling, and quality control testing to ensure release specifications are met. All operations require dedicated containment facilities with appropriate personnel protection.
Key Manufacturing Challenges
- Cytotoxic handling requiring dedicated containment facilities
- Stability-critical manufacturing with narrow parameter ranges
- Sterile filtration and aseptic filling validation
- Impurity control and degradation pathway management
- Light and/or moisture sensitivity during manufacturing
- Scale-up from lab to commercial production
