4. High Potency Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (HPAPIs)
Definitions
HPAPIs or high potency intermediates may have:
● Biological activity at approximately 150 μg/kg of body weight or below in
humans (therapeutic daily dose at or below 10 mg).
● An occupational exposure limit (OEL) at or below 10 μg/m3 of air as an 8 h
time-weighted average.
● High selectivity and/or with the potential to cause cancer, mutations,
developmental effects, or reproductive toxicity at low doses.
● Or, by default, a novel compound of unknown potency and toxicity.
5. Definitions
Cytotoxics are a subcategory of high potency drugs:
● Pharmacological agent that inhibits the proliferation of cells within the body.
● Agent that possesses destructive action on certain cells, that may be
genotoxic, oncogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, or hazardous to cells.
● Most commercial anti-cancer drugs are cytotoxic.
● Cytotoxic drugs are high potency but not all oncology drugs are cytotoxic.

21. Consolidation
What does it mean for innovator companies and CMOs?
● Many innovator companies are turning to CDMOs to meet raising demands.
● Pharma companies are using CDMOs that have the capabilities they need -
ranging from R&D and pre-clinical through to commercialization.
● CMOs/CDMOs are investing or acquiring facilities and capabilities to meet
these needs.
● This allows pharma companies to transfer risk to the vendor.
23. Addressing Industry Needs
Integrated DS/DP is one way of addressing the needs of pharma companies.
Mission:
● Deliver quality medicines to patients.
Needs/goals of pharma companies:
● Increase efficiency.
● Decrease cost.
● Improve timing.
● Equal or better quality (always!).
A streamlined
approach to
manufacturing
helps to
mitigate risk
24. Integrated DS and DP
Integrated Non-integrated
Easier path of communication within
single organization.
Multiple organizations mean more
points of contact.
Project scope changes can be made
without impacting overall project
timeline.
Changing project scope can have a big
impact on the overall project
timeline.
DS process optimization and
manufacturing activities coordinated
with DP inputs.
Technology transfer from one
organization to another can increase
risk and delay projects.
Single touch-point for all processes. Management of projects is split
between DS and DP sites.
