Author(s): AlSwisi Mahmoud*, Boujbel Lassaad and Boujbel Mohamed Amine
Lenalidomide, commercialized as Revlimid®, is an immunomodulatory drug, approved as a therapy for Multiple
Myeloma and deletion 5q Myelodysplastic syndromes. This molecule shows a promising therapeutic potential in
other hematologic malignancies. According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), lenalidomide is considered as
a fully absorbed drug substance, however, there is no sufficient data on solubility that enables its BCS classification.
Therefore, as per the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guideline, a solubility study has been done by
Les Laboratoires Medis to prove that lenalidomide is a highly soluble compound. This demonstration requires the
investigation in different buffer solutions within the range of pH 1- 6.8 (including pKa) at 37 ± 1°C and we have
proceeded with a nominal concentration (1.0 mg/ml) which repr.. View more»
