Course objectives
The aim of the course is to deepen students' knowledge of methods of work and possibilities of application of methods of analytical chemistry for the field of drug analysis. The main emphasis is placed on the analysis of drugs, which is directly related to the thematic focus of the student's dissertation. The student is guided to master the entire analytical system from sampling to analytical interpretation of results, including the use of relevant statistical methods.
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.
