Pharmaceutical chemistry
Pharmaceutical chemistry bases on the common laws of
chemical sciences and studies a wide range of problems dealing with drugs,
namely: their getting and chemical nature, composition and structure; it also
studies chemical and physical properties of drugs, control methods of their
quality and determines the conditions of drugs storage.
The effect of drugs is determined not
only by their chemical structure but it depends on their chemical and physical
properties, that’s why pharmaceutical chemistry is closely related to physical
chemistry and colloidal chemistry. The studying of the molecule structure of
drugs, the development of methods of synthesis and analysis of drugs is
impossible without knowledge of organic chemistry and analytical chemistry.
Nowadays pharmaceutical
chemistry is also closely related to physics and mathematics because physical
and chemical methods of analysis of drugs and calculations of pharmaceutical
analysis bases on the common laws of these sciences.
Only a specialist having
knowledge of pharmaceutical chemistry may solve the problems of compatibility
of drugs in prescription, production methods of drugs, validity periods and
conditions of drugs storage.
Topical vocabulary:
calculation [ˌkælkju'leɪʃ(ə)n] – вычисление, расчет; compatibility [kəmˌpætə'bɪlətɪ]
– совместимость, сочетаемость; drug – лекарство; наркотик; pharmaceutical [ˌfɑːmə'sjuːtɪk(ə)l]
– фармацевтический; prescription [prɪs'krɪpʃ(ə)n] – рецепт; storage ['stɔːrɪʤ] – хранение; validity [və'lɪdətɪ] – действие, validity period – срок годности.
