About Book
The book Pharmaceutical Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and practical applications of inorganic and analytical chemistry in pharmaceutical sciences. It covers the essential concepts of pharmaceutical analysis, including various analytical techniques, preparation of standard solutions, and methods for expressing the strength of pharmaceutical preparations. The text introduces the concepts of errors in analysis, accuracy, precision, and significant figures, enabling students to develop reliable analytical skills. Detailed discussions on pharmaceutical impurities, their sources, regulatory significance, and official limit tests provide valuable insight into quality assurance and quality control practices. The book thoroughly explains acid-base chemistry, pH, buffer systems, isotonicity, and their pharmaceutical applications in formulations such as intravenous fluids and ophthalmic preparations. Major physiological electrolytes and their therapeutic importance in replacement therapy are discussed with emphasis on maintaining acid-base balance in the human body. Comprehensive coverage of volumetric analysis includes acid-base, non-aqueous, precipitation, complexometric, gravimetric, and redox titrations, along with preparation, standardization, and pharmaceutical assays. These topics are supported by theoretical principles, reaction mechanisms, neutralization curves, and practical examples relevant to pharmaceutical industries and laboratories.Special attention is given to medicinal inorganic compounds used as gastrointestinal agents, antimicrobials, expectorants, emetics, haematinics, antidotes, and astringents. Each compound is discussed with respect to its chemical structure, molecular weight, physical and chemical properties, storage conditions, preparation methods, therapeutic applications, and marketed formulations. The text also introduces students to radiopharmaceuticals, radioisotopes, and their applications in diagnosis and therapy, while highlighting the importance of radiation safety and regulatory compliance. Contemporary aspects such as safe handling, storage, and disposal of radioactive materials are incorporated to meet modern educational requirements.
