About Study Course
Objective
Course is aimed to acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that can be used in drug quality control. • Promote knowledge of the main classes of medicinal products and their chemical properties; • Promote understanding of drug structure, synthesis, quality control and specifics of use; • Master the tactics of naming medicines and methods of testing the goodness of medicines; • Carry out the analysis of drug substances containing different dosage forms on the basis of physical and chemical properties, chemical structure and stability.
Preliminary Knowledge
Basic knowledge in inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry, physical pharmacy.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.On successful course completion: • Students should know structures and names of drug substances, methods of drug quality analysis, • be able to identify a compound by reactions of key functional groups, • be able to test the quality of different drug substances, • be able to identify the structural elements of vitamins, hormones and antibiotic drug substances and name a specific drug-containing preparation; • be able to explain the physico-chemical properties of vitamins, hormones and antibiotic drug substances, • be able to compare and select methods for drug substance synthesis, qualitative and quantitative analysis depending on the particular drug substance preparation.
Skills
1.On successful course completion students will be able to: • choose and apply chemical and instrumental methods of analysis of drugs, • systematize scientific information of the different groups of medications, their characteristics, properties and use in medicine.
Competences
1.On successful course completion students will be able to evaluate and present the information of drug quality control; Students will be able to independently test the quality of the drug substance based on its physical and chemical properties.

During the course students are asked to work with pharmaceutical literature sources to find drug quality control methods. Students are also independently preparing for each lab work finding answers for a set of specific questions in connection with the experimental tasks that helps to understand the experimental work during the labs. A research work – literature review. Study course evaluation questionnaire.
