Sumie Yoshioka, Valentino J. Stella, "Stability of Drugs and Dosage Forms"
Springer; 1 edition (November 2000) | ISBN: 0306464047 | 272 pages | PDF | 2,1 Mb

Drug products are complex mixtures of drugs and excipients and, as such, their chemical and physical stability kinetics are complex. This book discusses the stability of these dosage forms with preformulation studies through to the studies on the final products. The book is intended for graduate students, researchers and professionals in the field of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Handbook of Preformulation: Chemical, Biological, and Botanical Drugs

Sarfaraz K. Niazi (Author), "Handbook of Preformulation: Chemical, Biological, and Botanical Drugs"

"Preformulation studies are the physical, chemical, and biological studies needed to characterize a drug substance..."

Preformulation studies are the physical, chemical, and biological studies needed to characterize a drug substance for enabling the proper design of a drug product, whereas the effectiveness of a drug product is determined during the formulation studies phase. Though the two disciplines overlap in practice, each is a significantly distinct phase of new drug development. Entirely focused on preformulation principles, this handbook provides detailed descriptions of preformulation methodologies, gives a state-of-the-art description of each technique, and lists the currently available tools useful in providing a comprehensive characterization of a new drug entity.
