Qualification is the process of establishing the biological safety of a product in the presence of a degradation compound or impurity above specified levels. A reasoned method must be used to establish acceptable criteria for impurities and must include the safety criteria considered. The interpretation of the regulation is very important todefine...

What are (Q)SAR studies?
Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (Q)SAR models are based on one of the most widely used techniques in the field of chemoinformatics. They are complex mathematical algorithms that facilitate, economize and accelerate the predictive evaluation of the biological properties or activities of chemical compounds based exclusively on their molecular structure. They are basedon... Read More... "What are (Q)SAR studies?"
Pesticides for agricultural use
What are pesticides? What do you need to approve the registration of pesticides in Mexico?

Impurities and Degradation Compounds
What is a degradation compound in medicines and how does it affect us? Degradation compounds are substances produced by the breakdown of the active ingredient. Various impurities may result due to degradation of the active ingredient or some other interaction in storage, so stability studies need to be performed to ensure the safety of the product. Thepresence... Read More... "Impurities and Degradation Compounds".
