Pharmaceutical chemistry, 2e by 2021 2nd ed. held Health Sciences Library QV744 P536 2021
Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides a wide-ranging overview of organic chemistry as applied to the study and practice of pharmacy. Drugs are simply chemicals, so to fully understand their manufacture, formulation, and the way they work in our bodies, a knowledge of organic compounds and their reactions is essential.
Pharmaceutical analysis: a textbook for pharmacy students and pharmaceutical chemists, 5e by Health Sciences Library Books QV744 P536 2021
Pharmaceutical analysis determines the purity, concentration, active compounds, shelf life, rate of absorption in the body, identity, stability, rate of release etc. of a drug. Testing a pharmaceutical product involves a variety of analyses, and the analytical processes. The mathematics involved is notoriously difficult, but this much-praised 5th edition textbook, guides a student through the complexities with clear writing and the author's expertise from many years' teaching pharmacy students. Worked calculation examples and self-assessment test questions aid continuous learning reinforcement throughout.
