LAETRILE: A STUDY OF ITS PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES.

A study was made of the composition and biochemical behaviour of the drug, Laetrile, distributed for clinical trial in the United States and Canada. It was established that the Canadian and the American product are different pharmaceutical formulations, displaying different physicochemical and biochemical properties. The investigation demonstrated, furthermore, that neither preparation can be considered as a palliative in cancer therapy on the basis of the biological rationale advanced by their manufacturers.

QUALITY CONTROL OF PHARMACEUTICALS.

Quality control is an essential operation of the pharmaceutical industry. Drugs must be marketed as safe and therapeutically active formulations whose performance is consistent and predictable. New and better medicinal agents are being produced at an accelerated rate. At the same time more exacting and sophisticated analytical methods are being developed for their evaluation. Requirements governing the quality control of pharmaceuticals in accordance with the Canadian Food and Drugs Act are cited and discussed.
