A key component of the overall quality of a pharmaceutical is
control of impurities, as their presence, even in small amounts,
may affect drug safety and efficacy. The identification and
quantification of impurities to acceptable standards presents a
significant challenge to the analytical chemist. Analytical science
is developing rapidly and provides increasing opportunity to
identify the structure, and therefore the origin and safety
implications of these impurities, and the challenges of their
measurement drives the development of modern quantitative methods.
Written for both practicing and student analytical chemists,
Analysis of Drug Impurities provides a detailed overview of
the challenges and the techniques available to permit accurate
identification and quantification of drug impurities.
