Annotation -
The course is focused on acquiring knowledge of chemistry and physics of solid pharmaceutical substances. Emphasis is placed on the study of the internal structure of substances (molecular and crystal) and the resulting macroscopic properties (solubility, dissolution rate, stability, degradation). The phenomena of polymorphism of pharmaceutical substances and processes of crystallization and dissolution are discussed in detail. Attention is paid to chemical and physical types of pharmaceutical substances (anhydrates, salts, hydrates, co-crystals) and their crystalline and amorphous forms. Last but not least, the focus is on the degradation products produced in pharmaceutical substances during production and during storage.

Aim of the course -

Students will gain knowledge about:

internal structure of pharmaceutical substances (crystalline and molecular)

they will learn to orient themselves in the processes of crystallization and dissolution of pharmaceutical substances

will be able to apply and categorize the phenomenon of polymorphism in pharmacies

to orient among solid forms of pharmaceutical substances (anhydrate, hydrates, salts, co-crystals and amorphous)

to estimate possible degradation processes that occur in solid pharmaceutical substances
