Course objectives
Drug Analysis course aims to teach students to work methods and procedures used in the control practices for providing efficient, reliable and safe medicines.The subject is the interpretation of the principles of analysis - chemical and physico-chemical methods used in assessing individual indicators of quality (identity, purity, content, stability) of single chemically active substances, excipients and medicinal products.
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes of the course are theoretical knowledge and practical experience of students of methods used for comprehensive evaluation of drugs and medicinal products in accordance with applicable regulations in the Czech Republic and the EU. The content of the course is based on the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia as a supranational legal norm. The graduate of the course Drug Analysis is to master the basic procedures and methods of pharmacopoeial evaluation of drugs. Evidence of drugs based on physical constants, using instrumental-analytical methods and chemical reactions. To control group and selective reactions of structural types of drugs within pharmacotherapeutic groups. He has mastered the technique of limit tests for the purity of drugs, volumetric and gravimetric determination of drugs and pharmaceutical excipients. He should be able to perform analytical evaluation of drugs and medicinal products using chromatographic, spectral and electroanalytical methods. He should be able to perform experimental studies of medicinal products, evaluation of relevant physical and chemical parameters, including detection and quantification of degradation products, according to the given procedure.
