Course description

- The aim of drug analysis

- The steps of drug research

- The role of analytical chemistry in drug research in drug production in drug formulation in drug development in the efficacy of drog therapy in the safety of drog therapy in the economy of production of drugs…

- Methodological aspects (determination possibilities): „classical” (chemical) methods (titrimetry, in aqueous and nonaqueous medium) instrumental methods electrochemistry (potentiometry, conductometry…) spectroscopy (UV-Vis, Fluorescence, MS…) chromatography (TLC, HPLC, EC…) thermal analysis (DTG, DTA…) hyphenated techniques (HPLC-NMR, ICP-MS…) X-ray methods immun analytical methods…

- Quality control of drugs - Drug stability issues

- Drug impurity profiling - The role of pharmacopoeias (EU, US, Hungarian) in assuring drug quality

- Determination of drugs and metabilites in biological fluids
