✦ Synopsis

The aim of this article is to show a procedure to build the design space for the primary drying of a pharmaceuticals lyophilization process. Mathematical simulation of the process is used to identify the operating conditions that allow preserving product quality and meeting operating constraints posed by the equipment. In fact, product temperature has to be maintained below a limit value throughout the operation, and the sublimation flux has to be lower than the maximum value allowed by the capacity of the condenser, besides avoiding choking flow in the duct connecting the drying chamber to the condenser. Few experimental runs are required to get the values of the parameters of the model: the dynamic parameters estimation algorithm, an advanced tool based on the pressure rise test, is used to this purpose. A simple procedure is proposed to take into account parameters uncertainty and, thus, it is possible to find the recipes that allow fulfilling the process constraints within the required uncertainty range. The same approach can be effective to take into account the heterogeneity of the batch when designing the freeze-drying recipe.

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.
