AI Safety 2026: The New Pharma Standard

AI Safety 2026: The New Pharma Standard - Regulated AI & Model Drift Monitoring AI Safety 2026: The New Pharma Standard - A comprehensive guide to regulated AI systems, model drift monitoring, and pharmaceutical compliance The pharmaceutical and medical device industries have officially moved past the "experimentation phase" of Artificial Intelligence. In boardrooms from Basel to Boston, the conversation has shifted from "Can AI help us?" to the more pressing question: "Is our AI safe, regulated, and ready for a clinical audit?" By end of 2025, the FDA had approved or cleared 1,016 medical devices using AI/ML technologies- nearly double the number from 2022. Yet regulatory scrutiny has intensified proportionally. The FDA and EMA jointly issued guiding principles in early 2026 establishing that AI governance in drug safety must be explainable, traceable, and inspection-ready -  no different from any other GxP-regulated system. This deep dive...

FDA lists drugs with potential safety issues

FDA lists drugs with potential safety issues


A list of drugs currently being evaluated for potential safety issues by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been posted on its website. The list has been published under laws brought in last September that require the FDA to inform the public of new safety information or potential signals of serious risk.


Information is to be published each quarter detailing drugs that have been identified as having potential safety issues based on reports in the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS).

The list is intended to inform patients of potential safety issues and the agency has been keen to stress that there is no definite or casual relationship between the listed drugs and their risks. 

The list is part of the FDA’s goal of improving communication with patients but could cause more harm than good if incorrectly interpreted.

Solubility Formulas, Solubility Charts, and Drug Delivery

The Science Behind Solubility: Solubility Formula, Solubility Chart, and Drug Delivery system In the intricate world of pharmaceuticals, understanding solubility is crucial for effective drug development and delivery. Solubility, the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, plays a pivotal role in determining a drug's bioavailability, efficacy, and even its safety profile.  In this article, we will delve into the science behind solubility, exploring solubility formulas, solubility charts, and their significance in drug delivery. The Basics of Solubility: Solubility forms the foundation of drug formulation. It is governed by various factors, including the drug's molecular structure, the solvent's properties, and temperature. When a drug's solubility is low, its absorption into the bloodstream can be compromised, resulting in suboptimal therapeutic effects. To overcome this, scientists employ solubility-enhancing techniques, making solubility formulas and charts i...

EU MedTech Innovation Pressure: What Professionals Need to Know in 2026

The EU MedTech Innovation Pressure: Navigating 2026 "Crunch" and EY-DG SANTE Findings For years, the European Union was the global launchpad for EU MedTech Innovation, but recent data suggests a pivotal identity crisis is looming. A "CE Mark" was often the first major milestone for a startup before tackling the FDA. However, the tide has turned. As we move deeper into the mid-2020s, the medical technology landscape is facing a pivotal identity crisis.  The recent EY-DG SANTE study , commissioned by the European Commission, has provided the data to back up what many MedTech professionals have been whispering in boardrooms: the regulatory burden of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) is creating an "innovation drain." The Data Speaks: Key Findings from the EY-DG SANTE Study The study was designed to monitor the availability of medical devices on the EU market. The results are a wake-up call. According to the ...

​AI Solubility Prediction & 2026 Formulation Trends

If you are a pharmacy student or a researcher in 2026, the old textbooks aren't telling you the whole story. For decades, we learned that solubility was simple: "Like dissolves like." We memorized the Noyes-Whitney equation, looked at a solubility chart , and mixed powders in a beaker. But today, that approach is obsolete. With 90% of new drug candidates classified as "poorly soluble" (BCS Class II and IV), the industry faces an "insolubility crisis." The modern lab doesn't just "dissolve" drugs; it engineers them. We use Artificial Intelligence to predict solubility limits before a molecule is even synthesized. We use lasers and supercomputers to force "brick dust" molecules into the bloodstream. This article is your guide to the New Science of Solubility . We will decode the modern math, the AI tools like FastSolv , and the breakthrough technologies like Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) that are redefining drug delivery in ...
