Modern Pharmaceutics-I Detailed Syllabus for Pharmaceutics / Pharmaceutical Technology M.Pharm first year first sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Modern Pharmaceutics-I M.Pharm 2017-2018 (R17) first year first sem is as follows.
M.Pharm. I Year I Sem.
Course Objectives: Students will know the preformulation studies, methodology, different excipients used in solid dosage forms and their evaluation with references to production technologies. The students also know the optimization techniques and their applications in pharmaceutical industries.
Course Outcome: Students shall explain the preformulation parameters, apply ICH guidelines, and evaluate drug, drug excipients compatibility. Students also explain about formulation and development, use of excipients in tablets, powders, capsules, micro-encapsules and coating techniques. They also learn and apply the statistical design in different formulations.
UNIT – I : Preformulation studies: Goals of Preformulation, preformulation parameters, Polymorphs and Amorphous forms, selection of drugs- solubility, partition coefficient, salt forms, humidity, solid state properties, Particle Size Analysis (Laser Diffraction and Dynamic Light Scattering) drug-excipient compatibility, flow properties, format and content of reports of preformulation, preformulation stability studies (ICH)
UNIT – II : Formulation development of solid dosage forms – I: New materials, excipients science – diluents, disintegrants, super disintegrants, etc, evaluation of functional properties of excipients, co-processed materials, methods of preparation and evaluation.
UNIT – III : Formulation development of solid dosage forms– II: Coating, coating machines, coating techniques in tablet technology for product development, computerization, inprocess control of tablets, formulation development and manufacture of powder dosage forms for internal use. Microencapsulation- types, methodology, problems encountered.
UNIT – IV : Formulation development of soft and hard gelatin capsules: Introduction, production and methods of manufacture, filling equipment, and filling operations, formulations, finishing, special techniques, advances in capsule manufacture, machines, processing, and control including pharmaceutical aspects, physical stability, and packaging.
UNIT – V : Optimization techniques in pharmaceutical formulation and processing: Introduction, optimization parameters, statistical design, response surface method, contour diagrams, factorial design, partial factorial design, simplex methods, mixture designs, Placket Burhan method, Box Benken method, applications in pharmaceutical formulation.
