`
`Preface
`
`Pharmaceutical dosage forms contain both active ingredients
`and inactive materials called excipients. The behavior of the
`dosage form is dependent on process variables and the inter(cid:173)
`relationship between the various excipients and their impact
`on the active ingredient. Suppliers of excipient have devel(cid:173)
`oped novel excipient mixtures and new physical forms of ex(cid:173)
`cipients, which give them improved characteristics. In addition,
`the international nature of the pharmaceutical industry and its
`suppliers demands that formulators throughout the world have
`as much information as possible about the chemical and phys(cid:173)
`ical nature of excipients and combinations of excipients. For(cid:173)
`mulators are also concerned about the effect of the finished
`product on the patient it is intended to treat. Therefore, they
`are concerned about general and specific toxic effects of the
`excipients, allergic reactions to excipients, disease-specific in(cid:173)
`tolerance to excipients and interactions between the excipient
`and the active ingredient. In addition, formulators need to be
`aware of the potential environmental impact of the use of ex(cid:173)
`cipients. Lastly, the effect of regulatory change associated with
`harmonization is also a concern of the professional formulator.
`The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is a joint publica(cid:173)
`tion of the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Royal
`Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. The Handbook of
`Pharmaceutical Excipients, originally published in 1986, was
`the first English-language publication to comprehensively and
`systematically describe the chemical and physical properties of
`pharmaceutical excipients. The first edition contained 145 mono(cid:173)
`graphs, and the second contained 203. The present edition con(cid:173)
`tains 210 monographs authored by experts in pharmaceutical
`formulation or excipient manufacture from around the world.
`This edition also contains the results of extensive laboratory
`testing carried out over the last two years in laboratories in
`Great Britain and the United States. Some data developed by
`the first edition's laboratory project are retained. It is clearly
`noted as such in the monographs. The new data generated for
`this edition hould help the formulator in the selection of ap(cid:173)
`propriate excipient
`for various dosage forms. A major devel(cid:173)
`opment since the publication of the last edition of the Handbook
`has been the trend towards global pharmaceutical harmonization.
`To reflect this, where appropriate, more detailed information on
`excipients used in Japan has been included in this edition. Ad(cid:173)
`ditionally the index has been revised and expanded and the sup(cid:173)
`plier ' directory has been completely updated.
`The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients collects in a sys(cid:173)
`tematic and uniform manner essential data on the physical prop(cid:173)
`erties of excipients such as: boiling point, bulk and tap density,
`compression characteristics, hygroscopicity, flowability, melting
`point, moisture content, moisture-absorption isotherms, particle
`size distribution, rheology, specific surface area, and solubility.
`Scanning electron microphotographs (SEMs) are also included
`for many of the excipients. The Handbook contains information
`from various international sources, but also includes laboratory
`data determined specifically for the Handbook and personal ob(cid:173)
`servation and comments from the monograph author, steering
`committee members, and the editor. It also contains information
`on the safe use and potential toxicity of the materials.
`All of the monographs in the Handbook are thoroughly cross(cid:173)
`referenced and indexed so that excipients may be identified
`by either a chemical, nonproprietary, or trade name. Most
`
`Preface xv
`
`monographs list related substance(s) to help the formulator
`develop a list of possible materials for use in a new dosage
`form or product. Related substances are not directly substi(cid:173)
`tutable for each other but are excipients that have been used
`for similar purposes in various dosage forms.
`The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is a comprehen(cid:173)
`sive, uniform guide to the uses, properties, and safety of phar(cid:173)
`maceutical excipients and is an essential reference source for
`those involved in the development, production, control or reg(cid:173)
`ulation of pharmaceutical preparations. Since many pharma(cid:173)
`ceutical excipients are also used in other applications, the
`Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients will also be of value
`to persons with an interest in the formulation or production
`of confectionery, cosmetic, and food products.
`
`Arrangement
`The Handbook consists of monographs that are divided into 22
`sections to make it easy for the reader to go directly to the
`information of interest. Although it was originally intended that
`each monograph contain only information about a single excip(cid:173)
`ient, it rapidly became clear that some substances or groups of
`substances must be discussed together. This gave rise to such
`monographs as 'Coloring Agents' and 'Hydrocarbons.' In addi(cid:173)
`tion, some materials have more than one monograph depending
`on the physical characteristics of the material due mainly to its
`preparation. A good example of this is the various starch mono(cid:173)
`graphs, particularly Starch vs. Pregelatinized Starch. Regardless
`of the complexity of the monograph they are all divided in 22
`sections as follows:
`
`I. Nonproprietary Names
`2. Synonyms
`3. Chemical Name and CAS Registry Number
`4. Empirical Formula and Molecular Weight
`5. Structural Formula
`6. Functional Category
`7. Applications in Pharmaceutical Formulation or Technology
`8. Description
`9. Pharmacopeial Specifications
`I 0. Typical Properties
`11. Stability and Storage Conditions
`12. Incompatibilities
`13. Method of Manufacture
`14. Safety
`15. Handling Precautions
`16. Regulatory Status
`17 . Pharmacopei as
`18. Related Substances
`19. Comments
`20. Specific References
`21. General References
`22. Authors
`
`To make it easy for the first time user, descriptions of the
`sections appear below with information from an example
`monograph if needed.
`Section 1, Nonproprietary Names, Ii ts the excipient names
`used in the current British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharma(cid:173)
`copeia, Japanese Pharmacopeia, and the United States Phar(cid:173)
`macopeia. For nonpharmacopeial excipients the appropriate
`approved name, e.g., USAN or INN is indicated.
`Section 2, Synonyms, lists other names for the excipient, in(cid:173)
`cluding trade names used by suppliers; trade names are listed
`in italics. The inclusion of one supplier's trade name and the
`absence of others should in no way be interpreted as an
`
`MYLAN INST. EXHIBIT 1022 PAGE 3
`
`
`
`xvi Preface
`
`endorsement of one supplier's product over the other. The
`large number of suppliers internationally makes it impossible
`to include all the trade names.
`Section 3, Chemical Name and CAS Registry Number, indi(cid:173)
`cates the unique Chemical Ab tract Services number for an ex(cid:173)
`cipient along with the chemical name, e.g., Acacia [9000-01-5].
`Sections 4 and 5, Empirical Formula and Molecular Weight
`and Structural Formula, are self-explanatory. Many excipi(cid:173)
`ents are not pure chemical substances, in which case their
`composition is described either here or in Section 8.
`Section 6, Functional Category, lists the function(s) that an
`excipient is generally thought to perform, e.g., diluent, emul(cid:173)
`sifying agent, etc.
`Section 7, Applications in Pharmaceutical Formulation or
`Technology, describes the various applications of the excipient.
`Section 8, Description, includes details of the physical ap(cid:173)
`pearance of the excipient, e.g., white or yellow flakes, etc.
`Section 9, Pharmacopeial Specifications, briefly presents the
`compendia! standards for the excipient. Information included is
`obtained from the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), European Phar(cid:173)
`macopeia (PhEur), Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP), and the United
`States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary (USP). Information
`from the JP and USP are included if the sub tance is in those
`compendia. Information from the PhEur is also included. If the
`excipient is not in the PhEur but is included in the BP, information
`is included from the BP. The pharmacopeias are continually up(cid:173)
`dated and revisions or supplements are published. It was neces(cid:173)
`sary to select a point in time and use that as our reference when
`selecting the information to be included in this section. Therefore
`the information is from the following volumes:
`BP - 1998 Edition
`JP - Thirteenth Edition 1996
`PhEur - Third Edition plus supplements to 1999
`USP - USP 24 NF 19 2000 Edition
`Since the USP and NF were combined into a single reference
`many years ago it was felt that a single abbreviation would
`be sufficient. Therefore throughout the Handbook whenever
`the USP abbreviation is used it refers to this combined text.
`Section I 0, Typical Properties, describes the physical prop(cid:173)
`erties of the excipient which are not shown in Section 9. All
`data are for measurements made at 20°C unless otherwise
`indicated. Where the solubility of the excipient is described
`in words, the following terms describe the solubility ranges:
`
`Very soluble
`Freely soluble
`Soluble
`Sparingly soluble
`Slightly soluble
`Very slightly soluble
`Practically insoluble
`or insoluble
`
`part in less than
`part in 1-10
`part in 10-30
`part in 30-100
`part in 100-1000
`part in 1000-10 000
`part in more than IO 000
`
`Experimental data were determined specifically for the Hand(cid:173)
`book and are included in this section. Data from the HPE
`Laboratory Project in support of the third edition are clearly
`marked as such. The methods that were used to collect that
`data are included in Appendix II: HPE Laboratory Meth(cid:173)
`ods. Data from the HPE Laboratory Project performed for the
`first edition are either replaced by the new data or referenced
`as such in each monograph. The reader is referred to the ear(cid:173)
`lier editions of this book for the methods used.
`
`Section 11 , Stability and Storage Conditions, describes the con(cid:173)
`ditions under which the bulk material as received from the sup(cid:173)
`plier should be stored. In addition some monographs report on
`storage and stability of the dosage forms that contain the excip(cid:173)
`ient.
`Section 12, Incompatibilities, describes the reported incompati(cid:173)
`bilities for the excipient either with other excipients or with active
`ingredients. If an incompatibility is not listed it does not mean it
`does not occur but simply that it has not been reported or is not
`well known. Every formulation should be tested for incompati(cid:173)
`bilities prior to use in a commercial product.
`Section 13, Method of Manufacture, describes the common
`methods of manufacture and additional proce ses that are used
`to give the excipient its physical characteristics. In some cases
`the possibility of impurities will be indicated in the method
`of manufacture.
`Section 14, Safety, describes briefly the types of formulations in
`which the excipient has been used and presents relevant data con(cid:173)
`cerning possible hazards and adverse reactions that have been re(cid:173)
`ported. Relevant animal toxicity data are also shown.
`Section 15, Handling Precautions, indicates possible hazards
`associated with handling the excipient and makes recommen(cid:173)
`dations for suitable containment and protective methods. A
`familiarity with current good laboratory practice (GLP) and
`current good manufacturing practice (GMP) and standard
`chemical handling procedures is assumed.
`Section 16, Regulatory Status, describes the accepted uses
`in foods and licensed pharmaceuticals where known . The sta(cid:173)
`tus of excipients varies from one nation to another, even in
`this time of harmonization. Dependence on this reference in
`place of checking with the regulatory body in the nation in
`which the product is to be sold is unwise.
`Section 17, Pharmacopeias, lists the pharmacopeias in which
`the excipient is listed. If the excipient is listed in the European
`Pharmacopeia (PhEur), countries that are party to the PhEur
`are not listed; only "Eur" is. The following countries are party
`to the PhEur: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,
`Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
`Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
`Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Swit(cid:173)
`zerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
`Northern Ireland, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Mace(cid:173)
`donia. The information from the four major pharmacopeias is
`listed in Section 9.
`Section 18, Related Substances, lists the excipients similar
`to the excipient discussed in the monograph. The reader
`should look at the monographs for the related substance for
`comparative information.
`Section 19, Comments, includes additional information and
`observations relevant to the excipient. Where appropriate, the
`different grades of the excipient available are discussed. Com(cid:173)
`ments are the opinion of the listed author(s) unless referenced
`or indicated otherwise.
`Section 20, Specific References, is a list of references cited
`within the monograph.
`Section 21, General References, lists references which have
`general information about this type of excipient or the types
`of dosage forms made with these excipients.
`Section 22, Authors, lists in alphabetical order the current authors
`of the monograph. Authors of previous editions can be found in
`the earlier editions.

`Acknowledgments
`
`This edition of the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients
`is the result of the efforts of many individuals and corpora(cid:173)
`tions. The publication of the Handbook continues to depend
`on the support of hundreds of scientists throughout the world
`who act as authors or members of the HPE Laboratory Project
`and the members of the two steering committees. The mem(cid:173)
`bers of the US and UK steering committees reviewed all the
`monographs and contributed to their overall quality. Without
`the energetic and enthusiastic effort by these two steering
`committees this book would be impossible to produce. Spe(cid:173)
`cifically I would like to thank the chair of the UK steering
`committee Paul Weller from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
`of Great Britain staff who was the co-editor of the second
`edition. His work on that edition and his advice on every
`aspect of this edition made my job much easier. In addition,
`this edition had extensive laboratory work done by the HPE
`Laboratory Project headed by Anthony Palmieri III. It is rare
`in life to find an individual such as Tony who is both a good
`and dear friend and an accomplished colleague. Many others have
`contributed to the project and their assistance is appreciated,
`especially Linda Svok of my staff and Julian Graubart from
`the American Pharmaceutical Association.

`Selected Bibliography
`
`The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is a reference
`work containing a compilation of information on the uses and
`properties of pharmaceutical excipients and the reader is as(cid:173)
`sumed to possess the necessary knowledge to interpret the
`information the Handbook contains. The Handbook has no
`official status and there is no intent, implied or otherwise,
`that any of the information presented should constitute stan(cid:173)
`dards for the substances. The inclusion of an excipient in the
`Handbook, or a description of its use in a particular applica(cid:173)
`tion, is not intended as an endorsement of that excipient or
`application. Similarly, reports of incompatibilities or adverse
`reactions to an excipient, in a particular application, may not
`necessarily prevent its use in other applications. Formulators
`should perform suitable experimental studies to satisfy them(cid:173)
`selves and regulatory bodies that a formulation is efficacious
`and safe to use.
`
`While considerable efforts were made to ensure the accuracy
`of the information presented in the Handbook neither the pub(cid:173)
`lishers nor the compilers can accept liability for any errors
`or omissions. In particular, the inclusion of a supplier within
`the Suppliers' Directory is not intended as an endorsement of
`that supplier or its products and similarly the unintentional
`omission of a supplier or product from the directory is not
`intended to reflect adversely on that supplier or its product.
`
`Although diligent effort was made to use as recent compendia!
`information as possible, compendia are frequently revised and
`the reader is urged to consult current compendia, or supple(cid:173)
`ments, for up-to-date information, particularly as efforts are
`currently in progress to harmonize standards for excipients.
`
`The laboratory data presented for a particular excipient re(cid:173)
`flects only the results of testing a particular batch or sample
`and may not be representative of other batches or samples.
