JNTUH M.Pharm 2017-2018 (R17) Detailed Syllabus Pharmaceutical Process Chemistry

Pharmaceutical Process Chemistry Detailed Syllabus for Pharmaceutical Chemistry M.Pharm first year second 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 Pharmaceutical Process Chemistry M.Pharm 2017-2018 (R17) first year second sem is as follows. M.Pharm. I Year II Sem. Course Objectives: The goal of a process chemist is to develop synthetic routes that are safe, costeffective, environmentally friendly, and efficient. The subject is designed to impart knowledge on the development and optimization of a synthetic route/s and the pilot plant procedure for the manufacture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and new chemical entities (NCEs) for the drug development phase. Course Outcome: At completion of this course it is expected that students will be able to understand

• The strategies of scale up process of apis and intermediates
• The various unit operations and various reactions in process chemistry

UNIT I Process chemistry: Introduction, Synthetic strategy Stages of scale up process: Bench, pilot and large scale process. In-process control and validation of large scale process. Case studies of some scale up process of APIs. Impurities in API, types and their sources including genotoxic impurities UNIT II: Unit operations

1. Extraction: Liquid equilibria, extraction with reflux, extraction with agitation, counter current extraction.
2. Filtration: Theory of filtration, pressure and vacuum filtration, centrifugal filtration,
3. Distillation: azeotropic and steam distillation
4. Evaporation: Types of evaporators, factors affecting evaporation.
5. Crystallization: Crystallization from aqueous, nonaqueous solutions factors affecting crystallization, nucleation. Principle and general methods of Preparation of polymorphs, hydrates, solvates and amorphous APIs.

UNIT III : Unit Processes – I
