Abstract
The distributional homogeneity of chemicals is a key parameter of solid pharmaceutical formulations. Indeed, it may affect the efficacy of the drug and consequently its safety. Chemical imaging offers a unique insight enabling the visualisation of the different constituents of a pharmaceutical tablet. It allows identifying ingredients poorly distributed offering the possibility to optimize the process parameters or to adapt characteristics of incoming raw materials to increase the final product quality. Among the available chemical imaging tools, Raman imaging is one of the most widely used since it offers a high spatial resolution with well-resolved peaks resulting in a high spectral specificity. However, Raman imaging suffers from sample autofluorescence and long acquisition times. Recently commercialised, laser direct infrared reflectance imaging (LDIR) is a quantum cascade laser (QCL) based imaging technique that offers the opportunity to rapidly analyse samples. In this study, a typical pharmaceutical formulation blend composed of two active pharmaceutical ingredients and three excipients was aliquoted at different mixing timepoints. The collected aliquots were tableted and analysed using both Raman and LDIR imaging. The distributional homogeneity indexes of one active ingredient image were then computed and compared. The results show that both techniques achieved similar conclusions. However, the analysis times were drastically different. While Raman imaging required a total analysis time of 4 h per tablet to obtain the distribution map of acetylsalicylic acid with a step size of 100 µm, it only took 7.5 min to achieve the same result with LDIR. The results obtained in the present study show that LDIR is a promising technique for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and that it could be a valuable tool when developing new pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
In this study, adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are used to produce 3D bone grafts. The safety and the feasibility of using these bone grafts have been already showed and quality controls are already implemented. However, a cheaper, fast and non-destructive technique is required to monitor the osteogenic differentiation process. Here, the use of Raman imaging to monitor the synthesis of the extracellular matrix and its progressive mineralization occurring during the osteogenic differentiation process is investigated for the first time on a 3D in forming bone tissue. The attention was focused on Raman bands related to this matrix belonging to phosphate, phenylalanine and hydroxyproline, which are very distinctive and intense. The kinetic of the osteogenic differentiation process was first compared between a 2D and a 3D forming bone tissue. It was observed that the kinetics of the osteogenic differentiation process is slower in 3D in forming bone tissue. In a second step, an evaluation of the reliability of the Raman imaging method was performed including a study of the influence of the harvest biopsies position on the forming 3D bone tissue. The repeatability and the specificity of this method were also demonstrated. In a last step, several batches of ASCs were cultured and analyzed in 3D at different time points using Raman imaging. From the mean Raman spectra, mineral to matrix ratios (MTMR) were determined and used to evaluate the formation of mineral deposits accompanying the extracellular matrix synthesis which is indicative of an ongoing osteogenic differentiation process. These ratios peaked between the day 35 and 49. This observation was very interesting since it corresponds to the time at which the 3D bone grafts are used for the patient surgery. To conclude, Raman imaging allowed fast acquisition and time-resolved monitoring in vitro of the mineralization of extracellular matrix during osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Handheld Raman spectroscopy is actually booming. Recent devices improvements aim at addressing the usual Raman spectroscopy issues: fluorescence with shifted-excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS), poor sensitivity with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and information only about the sample surface with spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS). While qualitative performances of handheld devices are generally well established, the quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical samples remains challenging. The aim of this study was to compare the quantitative performances of three commercially available handheld Raman spectroscopy devices. Two of them (TruScan and IDRaman mini) are equipped with a 785 nm laser wavelength and operate in a conventional backscattering mode. The IDRaman has the Orbital Raster Scanning (ORS) option to increase the analyzed surface. The third device (Resolve) operates with an 830 nm laser wavelength both in backscattering and in SORS modes. The comparative study was carried out on ibuprofen-mannitol-microcrystalline cellulose ternary mixtures. The concentration of ibuprofen ranged from 24 to 52% (w/w) while the proportions of the two excipients were varied to avoid cross-correlation as much as possible. Analyses were performed either directly through a glass vial or with the glass vial in an opaque polypropylene flask, using a validated FT-NIR spectroscopy method as a reference method. Chemometric analyses were carried out with the Partial Least Squares Regression (PLS-R) algorithm. The quantitative models were validated using the total error approach and the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines with ± 15% as acceptance limits.

Abstract
The analysis of serum samples by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained ground over the last few years. However, the stabilisation of colloids by the proteins contained in these samples has restricted their use in common practice, unless antibodies or aptamers are used. Therefore, this work was dedicated to the development of a SERS methodology allowing the analysis of serum samples in a simple and easy-to-implement way. This approach was based on the pre-aggregation of the colloid with a salt solution. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used as the SERS substrate and, owing to its physiopathological importance, dopamine was chosen as a model to implement the SERS approach. The presence of this neurotransmitter could be determined in the concentration range 0.5-50 ppm (2.64-264 µM) in the culture medium of PC-12 cells, with a R2 of 0.9874, and at even lower concentrations (0.25 ppm, 1.32 µM) in another matrix containing fewer proteins. Moreover, the effect of calcium and potassium on the dopamine exocytosis from PC-12 cells was studied. Calcium was shown to have a predominant and dose-dependant effect. Finally, PC-12 cells were exposed to dexamethasone in order to increase their biosynthesis and release of dopamine. This increase was monitored with the developed SERS approach.

Abstract
Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a guidance based on the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) approach, real-time analyses during manufacturing processes are in real expansion. In this study, in-line Raman spectroscopic analyses were performed during a Hot-Melt Extrusion (HME) process to determine the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) content in real-time. The method was validated based on a univariate and a multivariate approach and the analytical performances of the obtained models were compared. Moreover, on one hand, in-line data were correlated with the real API concentration present in the sample quantified by a previously validated off-line confocal Raman microspectroscopic method. On the other hand, in-line data were also treated in function of the concentration based on the weighing of the components in the prepared mixture. The importance of developing quantitative methods based on the use of a reference method was thus highlighted. The method was validated according to the total error approach fixing the acceptance limits at ±15% and the α risk at ±5%. This method reaches the requirements of the European Pharmacopeia norms for the uniformity of content of single-dose preparations. The validation proves that future results will be in the acceptance limits with a previously defined probability. Finally, the in-line validated method was compared with the off-line one to demonstrate its ability to be used in routine analyses.

Abstract
A new application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in the field of plant material analysis is proposed in this study. The aim was to monitor the release of anatabine by methyl jasmonate (MeJa) elicited Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cells. Gold nanoparticles (AuNps) were used as SERS substrate. The first step was to study the SERS activity of anatabine in a complex matrix comprising the culture medium and BY-2 cells. The second step was the calibration. This one was successfully performed directly in the culture medium in order to take into account the matrix effect, by spiking the medium with different concentrations of anatabine, leading to solutions ranging from 250 to 5000µgL(-1). A univariate analysis was performed, the intensity of a band situated at 1028cm(-1), related to anatabine, was plotted against the anatabine concentration. A linear relationship was observed with a R(2) of 0.9951. During the monitoring study, after the MeJa elicitation, samples were collected from the culture medium containing BY-2 cells at 0, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h and were analysed using SERS. Finally, the amount of anatabine released in the culture medium was determined using the response function, reaching a plateau after 72h of 82µg of anatabine released/g of fresh weight (FW) MeJa elicited BY-2 cells.

Abstract
When developing a new formulation, the development, calibration and validation steps of analytical methods based on vibrational spectroscopy are time-consuming. For each new formulation, real samples must be produced and a "reference method" must be used in order to determine the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) content of each sample. To circumvent this issue, the paper presents a simple approach based on the film-casting technique used as a calibration tool in the framework of hot-melt extrusion process. Confocal Raman microscopic method was successfully validated for the determination of itraconazole content in film-casting samples. Then, hot-melt extrusion was carried out to produce real samples in order to confront the results obtained with confocal Raman microscopy and Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC). The agreement between both methods was demonstrated using a comparison study based on the Bland and Altman's plot.

Abstract
Since the last decade, more and more Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) candidates have poor water solubility inducing low bioavailability. These molecules belong to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) classes II and IV. Thanks to Hot-Melt Extrusion (HME), it is possible to incorporate these candidates in pharmaceutical solid forms. Indeed, HME increases the solubility and the bioavailability of these drugs by encompassing them in a polymeric carrier and by forming solid dispersions. Moreover, in 2004, the FDA's guidance initiative promoted the usefulness of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools when developing a manufacturing process. Indeed, the main objective when developing a new pharmaceutical process is the product quality throughout the production chain. The trend is to follow this parameter in real-time in order to react immediately when there is a bias. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques, NIR and Raman, are useful to analyze processes in-line. Moreover, off-line Raman microspectroscopy is more and more used when developing new pharmaceutical processes or when analyzing optimized ones by combining the advantages of Raman spectroscopy and imaging. It is an interesting tool for homogeneity and spatial distribution studies. This review treats about spectroscopic techniques analyzing a HME process, as well off-line as in-line, presenting their advantages and their complementarities.

Abstract
Based on the large number of publications reported over the past five years, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is more and more considered an attractive and promising analytical tool regarding Process Analytical Technology and Green Chemistry. From the reviewed literature, few of these publications present a thoroughly validated NIRS method even if some guidelines have been published by different groups and regulatory authorities. However, as any analytical method, the validation of NIRS method is a mandatory step at the end of the development in order to give enough guarantees that each of the future results during routine use will be close enough to the true value. Besides the introduction of PAT concepts in the revised document of the European Pharmacopoeia (2.2.40) dealing with near-infrared spectroscopy recently published in Pharmeuropa, it agrees very well with this mandatory step. Indeed, the latter suggests to use similar analytical performance characteristics than those required for any analytical procedure based on acceptance criteria consistent with the intended use of the method. In this context, this review gives a comprehensive and critical overview of the methodologies applied to assess the validity of quantitative NIRS methods used in pharmaceutical applications.
