Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Vol 2 - Drug Analysis (Hardcover)

Providing information on the chemical and physico-chemical properties of (medicinal) organic active principles, this book will be of value to both students and practising chemists. The main emphasis lies on the functional groups and reactive partial structures contained in these active principles. Also discussed are pharmaceutico-chemical performance, stability to moisture, oxygen, heat and light, and reactivity as basic prerequisites for the subsequent analytic reaction. The fundamental basis for the pharmacokinetic properties and performance are reviewed.
