Essentials of Pharmaceutical Preformulation is a study guide which describes the basic principles of pharmaceutical physicochemical characterisation. Successful preformulation requires knowledge of fundamental molecular concepts (solubility, ionisation, partitioning, hygroscopicity and stability) and macroscopic properties (physical form, such as the crystalline and amorphous states, hydrates, solvates and co-crystals and powder properties), familiarity with the techniques used to measure them and appreciation of their effect on product performance, recognising that often there is a position of compromise to be reached between product stability and bioavailability. This text introduces the basic concepts and discusses their wider implication for pharmaceutical development, with reference to many case examples of current drugs and drug products. Special attention is given to the principles and best-practice of the analytical techniques that underpin preformulation (UV spectrophotometry, TLC, DSC, XRPD and HPLC). The material is presented in the typical order that would be followed when developing a medicine and maps onto the indicative pharmacy syllabus of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain Undergraduate-level pharmacy students and R&D / analytical scientists working in the pharmaceutical sector (with or without a pharmaceutical background) will find this text easy to follow with relevant pharmaceutical examples. Essential study guide for pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students Covers the pharmaceutical preformulation components of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain’s indicative syllabus Easy to follow text highlighted with relevant pharmaceutical examples Self-assessment assignments in a variety of formats Written by authors with both academic and industrial experience Companion website with further information to maximise learning

The Sixth Edition of this well-known text has been fully revised and updated to meet the changing curricula of medicinal chemistry courses. Emphasis is on patient-focused pharmaceutical care and on the pharmacist as a therapeutic consultant, rather than a chemist. A new disease state management section explains appropriate therapeutic options for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and men's and women's health problems. Also new to this edition: Clinical Significance boxes, Drug Lists at the beginning of appropriate chapters, and an eight-page color insert with detailed illustrations of drug structures. Case studies from previous editions and answers to this edition's case studies are available online at thePoint.

Biologically Active Small Molecules: Modern Applications and Therapeutic Perspectives focuses on small molecules as active pharmacological agents, their pharmacotherapeutically active properties, new approaches in drug discovery using small molecules, and biopharmaceutic approaches for low molecular weight ligands. Molecules of low mass play a pivotal role in pharmacology because they exhibit multifarious pharmacological effects. Small molecules have become universally popular due to their simple chemistry, easy separation techniques, versatile acceptance for computational studies, large number of places for the substitution of active chemical moieties by well-established synthetic routes with less effort, better quality attributes, and ability to demonstrate numerous biological activities. This book provides a multidisciplinary approach that delivers the most updated knowledge and advances of some newly developed therapeutically active low molecular weight compounds. It includes chapters that present up-to-date and concise content on the classification, structures, chemical syntheses, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biochemical pathways, mechanism of actions, side effects, and adverse effects of small molecule drug discovery. The book covers a broad area by highlighting the advances of inter- and multidisciplinary fields of medicine, chemical sciences, and pharmaceuticals. The flowcharts, figures, illustrations, and diagrams provide important information and will be of great interest for readers.

This comprehensive Fifth Edition has been fully revised and updated to meet the changing curricula of medicinal chemistry courses. The new emphasis is on pharmaceutical care that focuses on the patient, and on the pharmacist a therapeutic clinical consultant, rather than chemist.
