Pharmaceutical Analysis

Pharmaceutical analysis determines the purity, safety, and quality of drugs and chemicals. It involves qualitative and quantitative procedures to identify substances and determine their amounts in products. Pharmaceutical analysis is used in several industries like pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and for environmental studies and disease diagnosis. It helps ensure drug and product quality, identify ingredients and impurities, check stability over time, and detect adulteration or contamination. The first step is usually qualitative analysis to identify what is present, followed by quantitative analysis to determine amounts.

procedures used to determine the purity,
safety and quality of drugs and chemicals

 Also called quantitative pharmaceutical


chemistry
SCOPE OF PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS

In Pharmaceutical Industry


In Food Industry
In Cosmetic Industry
In Environmental Study
In Disease Diagnosis
a) In Pharmaceutical Industry
To determine the quality and quantity of drug.
To determine chemical purity
Identify drug in the formulated product
Determination of active ingredient or additional
impurities.
Determine stability of drugs
Determine rate of drug from its formulation.
Analyse the identity and purity of drug that meet
specification.
Identify concentration of specified impurities.
b) In Food Industry
Identify adulteration in foods.
Identify colouring, flavouring and sweetining
agents in packed foods.
Determine the nutritional qualities of food.
Identify natural & synthetic chemical
ingredients.
Determine the toxin contents of food.
Identity thermal stability of food products
c) In Cosmetic Industry
Identification of chemical ingredients in
cosmetic products.
Identify the thermal stability of products
Determine the microbial growth of cosmetic
products.
D) In Environmental Study
Determine humidity , temperature etc.. of
atmosphere that may affect the stability of drug
& cosmetic products.

Specify the ideal storage condition of drugs,


cosmetics and active ingredients.
e) In Disease Diagnosis
For analysis of chemical constituents found in
human body whose altered concentrations
during disease state.
To analyse the medicinal agents and their
metabolites found in biological system.
Evaluate concentration of drugs in plasma or
biological fluids
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
First priority off any analyst is to identify the
sample, qualitative analysis include
identification of sample that what kind of
chemical moieties are present like structural
elucidation and molecular weight
determination of molecule present in sample.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
Involves estimation of amount / weight or
concentration of constituents present in sample.
