Physical Pharmacy 2 Lab BIPH 2116

Course description:

This course covers experiments that employ fundamental principles of physical pharmacy as partition coefficient determination, improving drug solubility using different methods as micellar solubilization and determining the stability of pharmaceutical preparation as suspension and emulsion. It would also be an introduction to the pharmaceutics lab focusing primarily on the basic concepts.

Course Aims:

To provide students with the practical laboratory skills of physical pharmacy 2.
To demonstrate the effect of the physio-chemical properties phenomena on pharmaceutical systems.
To clarify theoretical concepts learned in Physical Pharmacy 2.

Course outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Know the general laboratory safety and basic techniques.
Develop the ability to suggest suitable techniques to evaluate some physicochemical properties of drug molecules and dosage forms.
Explain the role of surfactants, interfacial phenomenon and thermodynamics.
Describe the flow behavior of fluids and concept of complexation.
Analyze the chemical stability tests of various drug products.
