Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to provide the clear procedure for technology transfer process in pharmaceutical industry. Technology transfer is a process to transfer information and technologies necessary to manufacture quality drug product consistently or technology transfer is the process of taking an invention from its inception in a laboratory to a commercialized product.  Investment in R&D is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for economic growth. Productivity gains only result from the natural diffusion of innovation to the marketplace (technology transfer). Responsible departments for successful technology transfer of a product in pharmaceutical industry are R&D, Production, Engineering, QC and QA.

ABSTRACT:
It is a product which is used for improvement of appearance of human body by applying it externally on human body. For better results and minimizing risk of adverse reaction of cosmetic products on human body we have to check out and maintain quality of cosmetic products during its manufacturing.  And  also required some safety parameters for manufacturing of cosmetic products. In this review article we discussed briefly about quality and safety parameters during manufacturing of cosmetic products.

Abstract:
In this study, transdermal patches containing Itraconazole were prepared using different ratios of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) by solvent evaporation technique using 10%w/w of dibutyl phthalate incorporated as plasticizer. The drug matrix film of PVP and HPMC was casted on a polyvinylalcohol backing membrane that was previously dried at 60⁰C for 6 hrs. All the prepared formulations were subjected to physical studies (moisture content, moisture uptake, Tensile strength, flatness and Drug content determination), in vitro release studies and in vitro skin permeation studies. The physiochemical compatibility of the drug and the polymers studied by IR spectroscopy have absence of any incompatibility. In vitro permeation studies were performed across  skin using a Franz diffusion cell. Variations in drug release profiles among the formulations studied were observed. Based on a physicochemical and in vitro skin permeation study, formulation F1 (PVP/HPMC, 5:1) and F5 (PVP/HPMC, 1:5) were chosen for further in vivo experiments. The anti inflammatory effect and a sustaining action of Itraconazole from the two transdermal patches selected were studied by inducing paw edema in rats with 1% w/v carrageenan solution. Hence, it can be reasonably concluded that Itraconazole can be formulated into the transdermal matrix type patches to sustain its release characteristics.
