Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is internationally recognised as the authoritative source of information on pharmaceutical excipients giving a comprehensive guide to uses, properties and safety. The handbook collects together essential data on the physical properties of excipients as well as providing information on their safe use and potential toxicity. All 380 monographs are also thoroughly cross-referenced and indexed to allow their identification by chemical, non-proprietary or trade names. The changes of this new edition are:

The purpose of this handbook is to assist individuals for the Certified Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices Professional (CPGP) examination and provide a reference for the practitioner. The second edition reflects the Body of Knowledge which was updated in 2015. This edition has also incorporated additional information including updated references. The updates reflect the current trends and expectations of the evolving pharmaceutical industry driven by consumer expectations and regulatory oversight.
This handbook covers compliance with good manufacturing practices (GMPs), as regulated and guided by national and international agencies for the pharmaceutical industry. It covers finished human and veterinary drugs and biologics, and combination devices, as well as their component raw materials (including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients), and packaging and labeling operations.
The book describes the properties, analytical methods and the applications of different polyvinylpyrrolidone excipients (povidone, crospovidone, copovidone etc.) for use in pharmaceutical preparations. This group of excipients is one of the most important excipients used in modern technology to produce drugs. The book is intended for all persons working in the research, development and quality control of drugs. It gives a survey of all applications in solid, liquid and semisolid dosage forms including many drug formulation examples and more than 600 references to the literature.
Medicinal products typically cannot be manufactured without using excipients. Here, Dave Elder and Fabio Fas discuss factors for excipient selection and the importance of defined allowable limits to ensure continued product safety.
Excipients typically influence a variety of critical quality attributes and process parameters of a drug product and can often be used to enhance oral bioavailability, modifying both drug solubility and permeability; particularly for BCS (Biopharmaceutical Classification System) class III or IV compounds.2
Excipients endow formulations with stability or else allow a more effective and safe delivery option and are typically classified into functional categories, which are dependent on the medicinal product. For example, in tablets they are classified as diluents/fillers, binders, lubricants, glidants, etc. Excipients can also have multiple functions in a formulation or in different delivery systems. For example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC or hypomellose) can be used as a coating agent or binder in solid oral dosage forms; as a suspending agent in oral suspension products; and as a viscosity-enhancing, mucoadhesive in intra-nasal products.3 Innovation in drug products can also be driven by formulations with atypical levels of known excipients or using established oral excipients via a different delivery route or novel excipients. Regulators regard novel excipients as new substances and this constitutes an important barrier to development of innovative drug products.9

N2 - Nanomaterials are being explored intensely for applications in pharmaceutical sciences and nanomedicine. The same properties of these materials that make them interesting for the development of novel excipients, therapies and diagnostics are those which often make them potentially harmful. A thorough investigation of the interaction of any new nanomaterial with the immune system, coupled with both generic and specific toxicological information must hence be conducted. However, in many instances common toxicological assays and endpoints are not applicable and may need revising. Here, we highlight some of these barriers using mesoporous silica materials as an example and suggest some important material properties to be taken into account when performing a full toxicological appraisal.
