Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry

Description

Pharmaceutical Chemistry is that branch of applied chemistry, which embraces organic, inorganic, physical, medicinal and analytical chemistry and the applications of these disciplines in the preparation, synthesis, standardization, interpretation of drug actions, drug interactions and analysis of chemical substances for medicinal use. Pharmaceutical products help in improving health of people by treating their particular diseases. An extensive research process is followed before these drugs are let out into the market. Clinical testing is conducted before these drugs are used for humans. They are first tried on animals to test their safety and affectivity. Later these drugs reach patients through the prescriptions of physicians. Nucleic Acids are truly the biomolecules that define life. You may think that this is a rather startling statement when one considers the power of proteins; however, the information for the manufacture of all proteins - indeed for all biological molecules - resides in the nucleic acid molecule. In mass spectrometry, ionization refers to the production of gas phase ions suitable for resolution in the mass analyser or mass filter. Ionization occurs in the ion source. There are several ion sources available; each has advantages and disadvantages for particular applications. This book aims to equip pharmacists with the knowledge and skills required to discharge their clinical pharmacy practice responsibilities. The focus is on providing information about how clinical pharmacy is practiced rather than what they need to know about drugs and therapeutics.
