Supporting the safe use of CDB in skincare products using Derek Nexus

Supporting the safe use of CBD in skincare products using Derek Nexus

Cannabidiol (CBD) is gaining prominence as a sought-after ingredient in skincare and beauty formulations, thanks to its notable anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Derived directly from the hemp plant, this compound is increasingly being used as an ingredient in skincare products, particularly for the management of various skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. Despite […]

Safeguarding Pharmaceutical Development: The Importance of Early Risk Mitigation

Ensuring the safety and efficacy of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is of paramount importance. A critical aspect of this process involves the identification and mitigation of potentially mutagenic impurities, like nitrosamines. In this blog, we will explore the significance of risk mitigation at the early stages of API development and introduce a cutting-edge solution, Zeneth,

Mitigating the risks of NDSRI’s through data sharing

At Lhasa, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge sharing as the driving force to support the global challenge of nitrosamine risk assessment. Through data sharing and industry collaboration, we empower members to further understand the risks associated with their potential nitrosamine impurities. The Vitic Complex Nitrosamines initiative, launched in 2021 in response to

How well do you know your synthetic process?

Unreported changes to synthetic processes lead to the surprise presence of nitrosamine impurities in marketed drug products. This discovery resulted in the recall of several hypertension, heartburn, and diabetes medications. The nitrosamines crisis While many impurities are introduced directly as reagents, potentially mutagenic impurities (PMIs) arising during manufacture can be harder to identify as they
