Synopsis

Drug Stability for Pharmaceutical Scientists is a clear and easy-to-follow guide on drug degradation in pharmaceutical formulation. This book features valuable 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 much more. Full of examples of real-life formulation problems and step-by-step calculations, this book is the ideal resource for graduate students, as well as scientists in the pharmaceutical and related industries.

About this title

Review:

"...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

Review:

A practical and straightforward guide to drug stability that provides examples, step-by-step calculations and questions and answers to better aid learning and application
