Author Description

A Textbook of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry is a meticulously crafted academic resource designed to meet the comprehensive needs of undergraduate pharmacy students in alignment with the latest guidelines prescribed by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) for the 1st semester of the B. Pharmacy program. This book serves as an essential foundation in understanding the principles and practical aspects of inorganic chemistry with a strong focus on pharmaceutical applications. The primary objective of this textbook is to provide a detailed and clear understanding of pharmaceutically relevant inorganic compounds, their preparation, medicinal properties, pharmacological applications, limit tests, and analytical assays. The book bridges the gap between theoretical inorganic chemistry and its practical implementation in pharmaceutical sciences. It encourages students to appreciate the relevance of inorganic substances in drug formulation, diagnostics, and therapy. This textbook strictly adheres to the revised PCI syllabus and is organized systematically into five units, each thoroughly addressing core topics like impurities, pharmaceutical compounds, acid-base chemistry, buffer systems, radiopharmaceuticals, and more.
