Drug Stability for Pharmaceutical Scientists

Beschreibung

Focuses on drug degradation in pharmaceutical formulation. This book features content on both aqueous and solid drug solutions, the stability of proteins and peptides, acid-base catalyzed and solvent catalyzed reactions, how drug formulation can influence drug stability, the influence of external factors on reaction rates and more.

Rezensionen

".a good foundation in chemistry is assumed, making this text most useful for science graduate students and scientists in the pharmaceutical industry. Students or newcomers to the field of drug stability should find the 'problem' section useful, with questions and answers based on real data provided." --PharmaceuticalJournal.com, July 18, 2014

".describes the stability of pharmaceutical products as the capacity of the product or a given drug substance to remain within established specifications of identity, potency, and purity during a specified time period.topics are principles of drug degradation, degradation pathways, drug degradation in semi-solid dosage forms." --ProtoView.com, April 2014
