The "Textbook of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry" is a comprehensive guide designed for students and professionals in the pharmaceutical sciences. It covers essential concepts related to the role of inorganic compounds in medicinal chemistry and drug formulation. The book begins with an exploration of impurities in pharmaceutical substances, detailing their sources, types, and methods of detection using limit tests for elements like chloride, sulfate, iron, arsenic, lead, and heavy metals. The acids, bases, and buffers section provides insights into buffer solutions, isotonicity, and their pharmaceutical applications. The book also delves into major electrolytes, their physiological functions, and their importance in replacement therapy, including sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium gluconate. Dental products such as fluoride-based treatments, dentifrices, and desensitizing agents are thoroughly discussed. A significant portion focuses on gastrointestinal agents, including acidifiers, antacids, cathartics, and antimicrobials, with detailed mechanisms and applications. The book also examines expectorants, emetics, and haematinics, with examples like potassium iodide, ammonium chloride, and ferrous sulfate. Additionally, the text covers poisons and antidotes, including sodium thiosulfate and activated charcoal, along with astringents like zinc sulfate and potash alum. The final section introduces radiopharmaceuticals, detailing radioactivity, isotopes, and their pharmaceutical applications. This book serves as a fundamental resource for understanding the chemical aspects of pharmaceutical substances, offering theoretical knowledge alongside practical applications.
