| What is Pharmaceutical Sciences? | A dynamic and interdisciplinary field that aims to integrate fundamental principles of physical and organic chemistry, engineering, biochemistry, and biology to understand how to optimize delivery of drugs to the body and translate this integrated understanding into new and improved therapies Important points: Integrate fundamental principles of physical and organic chemistry, engineering, biochemistry, and biology Understand how to optimize delivery of drugs to the body and translate this understanding into new and improved therapies |
| What is Physical Pharmacy? | Area of pharmacy dealing with quantitative and theoretical principles of physicochemical science as they apply to the practice of pharmacy Integrates knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry and applies them to the pharmaceutical dosage form development. |
| What is the help of Physical Pharmacy course? | Leads to proper understanding of subsequent courses in Pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology. Aided the pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists to predict the solubility, stability, compatibility and biologic action of drug products. |
| Procardia XL | Similar appearance to a conventional tablet Semi-permeable membrane surrounding an osmotically active drug core divided in 2 layers : active & push layers Fluid from GIT increases pressure in the osmotic layer and “push” against the drug layer Designed to provide constant rate over 24 hrs Inert components remain intact during GI transit and eliminated in the feces |

| 2 types of error | Determinate (constant) Indeterminate (random or accidental) |
| What are constant errors and random/ accidental errors | Constant or determinate errors can be avoided, determined or corrected Random or indeterminate errors occurs by accident or by chance |
| Usually present in each measurement and affect all observations of a series in the same way | Constant errors ex. Errors in calibration, in weighing operations Impurities in the reagents and drugs, in matching colors Personal Errors such as in pouring and mixing, Reading of meniscus, in calculations, etc. Change of volume of solutions with temperature |
| Reducing determinate errors in analytic work | 1. By using a calibrated apparatus 2. Using blanks and controls 3. Using several different analytic procedures and apparatus 4. Eliminating impurities-ex.filtration. purification 5. Carrying out the experiment under varying conditions 6. In manufacturing, eliminate errors by calibrating the weights and apparatus and by checking results and calculations with other workers. |
| How to reduce Pseudo accidental or variable determinate errors | 1. Control the conditions through use of constant temperature baths or ovens 2. Use of buffers. (resist changes in pH) 3. Maintenance of constant humidity and pressure where indicated 4. Careful reading of fractions of units on graduates, balances and other apparatus |

| Ideal gas to expand, done in vacuum or dewar flask where it uses its on energy content – drop of temperature can liquefy a gas | • Adiabatic expansion |
| Gas does external work | • Joule-Thomson effect |
| Vapor pressure of liquids | • When a liquid is placed in an evacuated container at a constant temperature, the molecules with the highest energies break away from the surface of the liquid and pass into the gaseous state, and some of the molecules subsequently return to the liquid state, or condense. |
