Abstract :
Analytical method development and validation play a critical role in ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. With the increasing complexity of drug molecules, formulations, and regulatory expectations, there is a growing demand for advanced, reliable, and efficient analytical techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in analytical method development and validation for pharmaceutical applications. It highlights the fundamental principles of method development, key validation parameters, and regulatory requirements as outlined by international guidelines such as the ICH, US FDA, and EMA. Recent advancements, including ultra-high-performance chromatographic techniques, green analytical chemistry, analytical quality by design (AQbD), automation, miniaturization, and the integration of artificial intelligence and chemometrics, have significantly enhanced analytical performance and efficiency. Furthermore, modern validation approaches such as risk-based validation, lifecycle management, continuous monitoring, and software-assisted validation are discussed in detail. These approaches ensure robust, reproducible, and regulatory-compliant analytical methods. The review also addresses current challenges and future perspectives, emphasizing the transition toward sustainable, data-driven, and real-time analytical methodologies. Overall, this work provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of pharmaceutical analysis and highlights the importance of adopting advanced strategies to meet modern analytical and regulatory demands.
