Abstract
This Practical Pharmaceutical Chemistry book deals with all areas of Pharmaceutical Chemistry in a well simplified manner. Some important features of the book include theoretical background of each experimental procedure and steps to be taken in the preparation of reagents. The book is divided into seven parts namely: General Introduction, Volumetric Analysis, Inorganic Qualitative Analysis, Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry, Instrumental methods of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Control.
Part I focuses on basic experimental techniques. It acquaints the students with laboratory precautions, identification and care of laboratory glassware. Part II looks at weighing and calibration of volumetric apparatus, melting point determination and purification of organic solid samples by recrystallization and simple synthesis leading to preparation of some salts as well as determination alkalinity and total solids in water. Part III focuses on pharmaceutical qualitative inorganic chemistry with preliminary tests and systematic analysis of basic cations and acidic anions as well as their applications in medical practice. Part IV presents pharmaceutical analytical chemistry using chemical methods of analysis. Part V is on pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Part VI is on instrumental methods of analysis. Part VII which is the last part deals with pharmaceutical quality control which involves identification and assay of some selected drug formulations based on official methods.
The book is written in a simple and concise form to enable the students have a better understanding. It also allows choice of experiment depending on availability of reagents. The book is recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Pharmacy, Chemistry and Biochemistry programmes.
