Method of evaluating pharmaceutical preparation containing luliconazole and index substance
Patent 8,980,931
Issued: March 17, 2015
Inventor(s): Masuda Takaaki & Yamaguchi HiroshiDisclosed is a method of evaluating stability of a pharmaceutical preparation containing luliconazole. The method includes measuring an amount of production of an SE form of luliconazole represented by following formula (2), an amount of production of a Z form of luliconazole represented by following formula (3) and an amount of production of an amide form of luliconazole represented by following formula (1) after storage under a severe condition or an accelerated condition, and judging that the stability of the pharmaceutical preparation is high if each of the amount of production of the SE form, the amount of production of the Z form and the amount of production of the amide form is not more than 5% by weight with respect to a compounded amount of luliconazole.

| Drug Patent | A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation. |
| Drug Exclusivity | Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant. |
| RLD | A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart. |
