Introduction: Forced degradation studies for proteins are essential exercises in formulation development and analytical method validation for M.Pharm students. These studies intentionally expose therapeutic proteins to controlled stressors — such as pH extremes, heat, oxidation, light, agitation and freeze–thaw — to produce likely degradation pathways (aggregation, fragmentation, deamidation, oxidation, disulfide rearrangement). Results guide selection of … Read more
