The course provides a comprehensive introduction to analytical chemistry relevant for chemical quality control of pharmaceutical raw materials and final drug products. It explains the process of experimental results elaboration for determining the appropriateness of the analytical method used in quality control, demonstrates how to use the pharmacopoeia for the analysis of pharmaceutical active ingredients and impurities (identification, quantitative analysis), and familiarizes students with performing various analytical methods in pharmaceutical analysis and quality control.

CILO-1: Establish a relatively complete concept of drug quality. CILO-2: Explain the commonly used principles and methods of identification, impurity inspection and content determination. CILO-3: Relate the drug to the analytical method from the chemical structure and the rationalization characteristics of the drug. CILO-4: Select the analysis methods and the formulation of the quality standards of the drugs. CILO-5: Describe the characteristics and methods of in vivo drug analysis.
