Introduction of DNA & RNA Drug Forced Degradation Studies

Stability-assessment methods, including forced degradation studies, play a pivotal role in scrutinizing degradation pathways, impurity profiles, and the overall stability of pharmaceuticals. Forced degradation studies of DNA & RNA drugs entail subjecting the drug to rigorous conditions, such as elevated temperature, exposure to light, varying pH levels, and oxidative stress, in order to expedite its degradation. This accelerated degradation offers valuable insights into the pathways of decomposition, identification of potential degradation byproducts, and evaluation of the drug's resilience under stress conditions
