"Photostability 2008"
The Photostability of Drugs Interest Group &
The Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences
|
| 1st - 3rd October 2008 |
|
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society, London
|
This prestigious and
focussed international meeting is aimed at pharmaceutical and analytical
scientists who are involved in the design and execution of photostability
and phototoxicity studies; project managers who need to know about the
impact of photostability issues on drug development and pharmaceutical
industry users who need to identify critical issues in the management of
photostability studies.
The optional one-day photostability course (1st October) provides a
comprehensive background on the scientific, regulatory and practical issues
in pharmaceutical photostability testing. Speakers will be experts in their
fields drawn from Academia and the pharmaceutical Industry .
The succeeding two day scientific conference will allow participants to
consider all aspects of the photostability of drug substances and their
formulations, including photochemistry and photophysics; light protection of
drugs and formulation of photosensitive drugs; choice and calibration of
irradiation sources; experimental set up and testing protocols; analytical
techniques for screening of photoreactivity; photobiological testing and
related phototoxicity; photodynamic therapy.
There will be ample opportunity to informally mix with, and learn from,
experts in these fields including at the planned social events.
On each day there will be a “brains trust” session where a panel of experts
will answer questions from delegates on a particular issue they may be having
in this important area. There will also be a vendor exhibition to aid
delegates in accessing goods and services in this field.
We also invite
submission of papers or posters in any of these areas for consideration by
the international steering committee. Abstracts should be submitted via the
web site (www.photostability.org)
as soon as possible and in any case by the end of June 2008.
