Photostability Of Drugs And Drug Formulations, 2nd Edition

Providing the guidance needed for formulation, handling, and quality control of photolabile drugs, Photostability of Drugs and Drug Formulations, Second Edition explores the significance of new information on drug photoreactivity in a pharmaceutical context. Completely revised and updated, with chapter authors drawn from an international panel of experts, the book supplies the background necessary for planning standardized photochemical stability studies as a part of drug development and formulation work. It contains comprehensive coverage of the physical and chemical aspects of drug photoreactivity, formulation, stability testing, and drug design/discovery in one resource. The contents have been reorganized to focus on the standardization of photostability testing of drug substances and products, in vitro photoreactivity screening of drugs, and various aspects of the formulation of photoreactive substances. The information on in vitro screening of drug photoreactivity is of great relevance for scientists who are developing and validating a set of testing protocols to address photosafety. Discussing kinetic and chemical aspects of drug photodecomposition as well as the practical problems frequently encountered in photochemical stability testing, this book helps you design a test protocol and interpret the results. Features · Assists non-experts in this field design a test protocol and interpret the results · Covers in vitro and in vivo aspects of interactions between drugs and light · Explores the kinetic and chemical aspects of drug photodecomposition · Discusses the problems frequently encountered in photochemical stability testing · Provides guidance on how to address photosafety assessments and labeling requirements of potentially photoreactive drugs · Highlights the practical implications of drug photodecomposition from a pharmaceutical viewpoint · Offers specific guidance in photostability testing and screening of drug photoreactivity.

Rifaximin, A Poorly Absorbed Antibiotic: Pharmacology and Clinical Use


Rifaximin is a semisynthetic rifamycin which is not absorbed from thegastrointestinal tract. It has been available in Europe and other countries for several years, and has recently been approved for treatment of traveler's diarrhea in the United States. Because of its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, rifaximin has been used with success in the treatment of infectious diarrhea, hepatic encephalopathy, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, inflammatory bowel disease, and colonic diverticular disease. Potential indications include the irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, Clostridium difficile infection and bowel preparation before colorectal surgery. In this publication both the present and future clinical use of rifaximin as well as the pharmacology behind it are extensively reviewed. Compiling the latest information on this remarkably active antibacterial agent, it will be an essential resource for infectiologists, gastroenterologists, and digestive surgeons alike.

Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis, 2nd Edition


Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis
By Ashutosh Kar
Publisher: New Age Publications (Academic),India
Number Of Pages: 564
Publication Date: 2005-12-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8122415822
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788122415827
Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis Book Description
During the past two decades, there have been magnificent and significant advances in both analytical instrumentation and computerized data handling devices across the globe. In this specific context the remarkable proliferation of windows-based computer software stretched overwhelmingly towards instrument control, real time data handling abilities and the ultimate usage of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are surprisingly noteworthy.
Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis in its present form essentially comprises six parts containing in all 32 well-elaborated chapters predominantly dealing with the set of descriptive analytical methodologies developed to control and assure the quality of the final marketed product; and, therefore, includes both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis to help in the identification as well as purity of the product.
The main purpose of this textbook is to discuss in an explicit and lucid manner several of the newer methods that now find rather wider application in the domain of pharmaceutical analysis. The basic principle of each technique is critically treated with emphasis on factors that directly affect its proper and judicious application to various analytical problems. An in-depth knowledge of these principles, instrumentations, modus operandi, experimental parameters, and sample preparation procedures in order to optimize the performance procedure of typical assay of pharmaceutical secondary products i.e., dosage forms, calculations etc., along with cognate assays from the Official Compendia have been included profusely.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students of pharmaceutical drug analysis, quality assurance chemists, industrial trainees, bulk-drug professionals and those in related disciplines earnestly requiring a substantial fundamental understanding and knowledge of the subject will certainly find this a much needed suitable compilation for reading and reference.
The broad coverage included in each of the selected analytical techniques would render Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis to be an useful source of ideas, inspiration for research, and developing newer practical solutions to problems in the ever expanding field of pharmaceutical analysis.
