Background: Potentized medicines include, according to the Brazilian legislation, homeopathic, anthroposophic, and antihomotoxic medicine and are regulated by the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Aim: This study aims to analyze and describe a profile of potentized medicines manufactured in Brazil, either registered or notified. Methodology: Information was obtained by data analysis related to ANVISA’s electronic medicine registration system. Results: The results, obtained as of September 2012, showed that 106 potentized medicines were registered and 519 were notified. Among the registered medicines, 92.0% were combined and 100.0% of the notified were simple medicines. For registered medicines, there were equivalent manufacturing scales among them, whereas for notified medicines, there was a predominance of centesimal scales. Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) of vegetal origin were the most commonly used for potentized medicine manufacturing processes; the oral route was the most common form of administration. Potentized medicines manufacturing units are more often located in southeast region of Brazil. In addition, homeopathic medicines prevail as registered or notified medicines, followed by anthroposophic medicines. Conclusions: The results of the study are expected to be useful as reference material for ANVISA to improve its regulatory activity as well the industry sector and other stakeholders.

The development of effective drug quality control methods based on intelligent technologies is an urgent task for pharmaceutical analysis in the context of production robotization. This is particularly topical for biotechnology-derived pharmaceutical ingredients due to the peculiarities of the analysis of these compounds and limited number of quality control methods for drugs. Fractal geometry can be a mathematical background for the creation of such method. In this work we studied the possibility of fractal geometry using for the development of rapid tests for bifidumbacterin lyophilisates. A correlation was established between the fractal dimension of the structure of the Bifidobacterium bifidum dry mixture solids with sucrose-gelatin-milk medium and the specified pharmaceutical ingredient parameters, such as drug reconstitution time (R2=0,97) and pH (R2=0,95). This work demonstrated that fractal analysis is a promising tool for automated rapid tests of lyophilized biotechnology-derived active pharmaceutical ingredients without losing the analyzed sample. fractal analysis, pharmaceutical analysis, quality control, lyophilisates, bifidumbacterin.

In production processes the use of image processing systems is widespread. Hardware solutions and cameras respectively are available for nearly every application. One important challenge of image processing systems is the development and selection of appropriate algorithms and software solutions in order to realise ambitious quality control for production processes. This article characterises the development of innovative software by combining features for an automatic defect classification on product surfaces. The artificial intelligent method Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to execute the classification task according to the combined features. This software is one crucial element for the automation of a manually operated production process.
