About Book
The Textbook of Modern Pharmaceutics provides a comprehensive foundation in drug development, formulation science, and industrial pharmacy, It begins with essential preformulation concepts that explore physicochemical properties of drugs. A key focus is on drug–excipient interactions and various analytical methods used to study compatibility. The text explains stability kinetics and detailed stability testing procedures. It also covers theories of dispersion and the preparation of emulsions, suspensions, and SMEDDS. Stability considerations for large- and small-volume parenterals are thoroughly discussed. The book emphasizes physiological, formulation, and manufacturing aspects of parenteral products. Optimization techniques in formulation help scientists refine product quality and performance. Core optimization parameters are explained along with their role in pharmaceutical processing. Statistical designs, factorial models, and response surface methods are introduced for systematic experimentation. Contour plots and mathematical tools are highlighted for interpreting formulation outcomes. Validation concepts form a major section of the book, starting with an introduction to pharmaceutical validation. The scope, importance, and benefits of validation activities are clearly outlined. The book covers preparation and calibration of the master validation plan. ICH and WHO guidelines for equipment validation and calibration are included for global compliance. It further explains validation procedures for different dosage forms and manufacturing operations. Various types of validation, including prospective, concurrent, and retrospective, are described. Government regulations and manufacturing process models are also emphasized. The qualification steps URS, DQ, IQ, OQ, and PQ are detailed for facility validation. A separate section discusses cGMP principles and objectives for ensuring product quality. It includes GMP policies, building layout requirements, and essential utility services. Equipment selection, operation, and preventive maintenance practices are covered extensively. Industrial management topics focus on production systems, workforce organization, and materials handling. Inventory control, transportation methods, budgeting, and cost control strategies are also discussed. Total Quality Management concepts introduce continuous improvement and customer-focused manufacturing. The book concludes with advanced topics such as tablet compression physics, compaction behaviour, dissolution parameters, kinetic models, similarity factors, and statistical tools essential for product evaluation.
