Where to Host the Database ?
pharmaHUB: a cyber infrastructure developed at Purdue University to
support collaboration among researchers, educational outreach, and the
sharing of data, tools and resources for the pharmaceutical engineering
community.
What is a HUB ?
nanoHUB: an environment for scientific collaboration

What are the Benefits of a HUB ?
 Purdue-supported hardware and grid-computing services
 Constant support by the HUBzero Tech Team… with yearly
upgrades and new technologies
 Stable and well-funded cyber infrastructure
 Worldwide contributions
 Developments from other hubs
 Services to build and support Databases with worldwide
access
Excipients Knowledge Base
the database and beyond…
Establish a knowledge-based system that maintains
values of fundamental pharmaceutical excipient
material properties and also contains models, best
practices and methods for using this data in the
systematic design of pharmaceutical products and
processes.

Interface
Excipient Knowledge Base at the HUB
 Independent data collection from global research community
 Contribution through user-friendly web-forms and spreadsheets
 Data pulls from other sources (like the FDA)
 Cross-check for measurements obtained with different methods
 Community validation, ratings, reviews
 Interactive browse, search, sort, filter, graph, comparison,
analysis and download
 Features like … works on iPhones!
 Statistics for who uses the database and how (Google analytics)
Excipient Knowledge Base at the HUB
 Community interaction
 groups
 discussions
 wiki
 Q&A
 wishlists
 Community-contributed data, algorithms, computational tools,
visualization tools, and knowledge
(L. T, Principal Scientist at Merck “I am an expert in text mining and we have
technology to extract relationships in text. I am now assembling the excipient
ontologies that exist .... Perhaps that data could be interesting for your database. Let
me know … “)
Knowledge for predicating the properties
of the final product … the tablet
Look up and compare chemical and physical properties critical
to manufacturing, stability, and performance of drug products
 Plot NIR spectra to explore property variations between
vendors, between lots and even within lots
 Use range searches on Hausner ratio and Carr index to identify
flowability
 Generate the shear cell powder flow function to determine if a
powder is cohesive or free-flowing to help with sizing of hoppers
 Evaluate tensile strength of compacts based on moisture
content
 Explore particle size, size variation and particle shape to
understand cohesion, compressibility and shear strength
