✦ Synopsis

Essentials of Pharmaceutical Preformulation: A study guide for students and researchers in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences describes basic principles of pharmaceutical preformulation for undergraduate level pharmacy students and newly employed workers in the pharmaceutical field who do not have a pharmaceutical background. Successful preformulation requires knowledge of a number of concepts (solubility, partition coefficient, acid dissociation), familiarity with a range of analytical techniques and their application to dosage form design. This text takes these concepts and explains them in the context of pharmaceutical development .Special focus is given to the principles and use of analytical apparatus, providing a core set of transferable knowledge skills. The material is presented in the order that would be followed when developing a medicine and maps onto the indicative syllabus of pharmacy from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society It is divided into three sections: Basic concepts, Solid-state properties and Macroscopic properties and includes easy to follow text highlighted with relevant pharmaceutical examples
