AbstractThis course provides the basic concepts of pharmaceutical analytics in the context of pharmacopeial regulation by Ph. Eur and Ph. Helv.
Learning objectiveStudents will be able to perform the following tasks:
Explanation of the most important analytical techniques for the identification, purity testing and content determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients presented in Ph. Eur., USP, JP, andPh. Helv.)
Analysis and spectral data interpretation of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients
Explain and compare most important analytical techniques for pharmacies and pharmaceutical industry
ContentKnowledge in pharmaceutical analytics to fulfill regulatory equirements in pharmaceutical industry based on the pharmacopeia in force. Focus is set on spectroscopic methods, mass specetrometry and chromatographic techniques for qualification, identification, purity testing and content determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients.

AbstractMicroscopic analysis of plant material (pharmacopoeia). Chromatographic analysis of medicinal plants, extraction methods, qualitative/quantitative determination of medicinal plant constituents, isolation of natural products, identification/purity determination of herbal drugs and natural products by means of spectroscopic, chemical, and chromatographic methods.
Learning objectiveAbility to perform phytochemical work at the practical level, knowledge and understanding of the qualitative and quantitative methods available for the analytical characterization of medicinal plants and plant extracts. Understanding the physical, chemical, and chromatographic behaviour of different classes of natural products, such as, e. g., flavonoids. alkaloids, essential oils etc.
ContentMicroscopic analysis of plant material (in particular with reference to pharmacopoeia specifications). Chromatographic analysis of medicinal plants, different extraction methods, qualitative and quantitative determination of medicinal plant constituents, isolation of natural products, identification and purity determination of herbal drugs and natural products by means of physical, spectroscopic, chemical, and chromatographic methods.
Lecture notesWill be provided at the beginning of the course.
