CHAPTER XII: ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF AROMATIC PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS
Section outline
-
The analysis and control of aromatic pharmaceutical preparations is a critical discipline within pharmaceutical chemistry, dedicated to ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of these essential medicines. This field moves beyond simply confirming the identity of the active molecule to encompass a comprehensive assessment of its purity, stability, and final dosage form performance. This chapter is dedicated to the analytical strategies for three critically important sub-classes of aromatics pharmaceuticals: phenol, aniline, benzoic acid, and salicylic derivatives.
