About The Book
Pharmacy Council of India has introduced uniform B.Pharm syllabus throughout the country and the nomenclature Physical Pharmaceutics-I pertains to Semester III (vide no. 6, 7 and 8 of the Bachelor of Pharmacy course regulations 2014) throughout India.
The physicochemical principles of materials, drugs and excipients, are strengthened, giving their impact and applications on the biological processes. The molecular approach has highlighted its importance through molecular interactions in solution phase science, solution, dissolution, diffusion, partition coefficient, etc., which have supported for developing product evaluation.
The title ‘Physical Pharmaceutics-I’ is to understand the various physical and physicochemical properties of the substances (drugs and excipients), which allows the pharmacist to select the right kind of substance for the manufacture of the dosage form. These also enable to design the right kind of environment desirable in the production and storage of the medicament. The physical and chemical principles and their impact on biological activity are important. Applications are separated and highlighted.
Special emphasis is on:
1. Application of principles
2. Concept mapping-driven illustrations
3. Comment type and objective type questions
4. MCQs with key and question bank
This book will also serve as a ready reference for the industrial pharmacist also.
