Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry

Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry is a much awaited great work in the Pharmacy. Targeted mainly to B. Pharmacy & Pharm-D students, this book will also be useful for B.Sc. as well as M.Sc. chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry students. The main object of this book is to attract the under graduate and post graduate students, to learn the basic theories of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry. Thus the book is aimed to eliminate the inadequacy in teaching and learning of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry by providing enormous information about the inorganic compounds used in Pharmacy.·   The content of the book is innovative and presented in eight chapters, in a concise form as per the needs of the students.· Incorporation of all the Chemical & Pharmaceutical aspects of the inorganic compounds and their formulations.·   Describing all the aspects of inorganic pharmaceuticals in easy to understand manner is the first of its kind.For each chapter, a brief introduction, detailed discussion of the basic theory and applications in pharmacy are provided.·   Pharmaceutically important inorganic pharmaceuticals are discussed in detail with the sources, official standards, preparations, physical and chemical properties, tests for identification, uses and their storage conditions.   The principles of assay of each compound, which is difficult to remember by the students is described in a student friendly manner to understand easily and able to reproduce well in examinations, is the first of its kind.   Presentation with simplified way of explanation along with chemical reactions of all compounds  helps to reproduce well in examinations. The coverage is complete when compared to the all University syllabus in India, AICTE and the PCI syllabi. Contents: 1. Introduction to Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry 2. Basics of pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry3. Acids, Bases and Buffers 4.Quantitative Analysis (Volumetric and Gravimetric Analysis) 5. Quality Control and test for Purity 6.
