Aims
To provide students with knowledge and skills to apply analytical chemistry to the characterisation of pharmaceutical materials, and to predict the effect of functional group chemistry on the structure and properties of relevant molecules.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate expertise in applying specialised analytical techniques to determine the identity and purity of active pharmaceutical molecules.
2.
Display mastery in predicting the property and the behaviour of active pharmaceutical molecules from structural information.
Module Content

Module Overview:
This module will provide you with the knowledge and skills to apply analytical chemistry to the characterisation of pharmaceutical ingredients and predict their behaviour from their chemical structure.
This module will provide you with the knowledge and skills to apply analytical chemistry to the characterisation of pharmaceutical ingredients and predict their behaviour from their chemical structure.
Additional Information:Practical sessions will involve analysis of various APIs to enable assay capability and substance identification skills. Laboratory sessions will enable to reinforce practical skills.
Exam will assess students understanding of structure-activity/structure-function of API-relevant molecules
