Preface to the Second Edition
Modern Pharmaceutical Drug Analysis essentially involves as a necessary ponent
even greater horizons than the actual prevalent critical analysis of not only the active pharmaceutical
substances but also the secondary pharmaceutical product(s) ., the dosage forms having either
single or ponent formulated product. The fundamental reasons for this sudden legitimate
surge in the newer evolving methodologies in the ‘analysis of drug substances’ are perhaps due to
the tremendous growth in the progress of ‘medicinal chemistry’ towards achieving one ultimate
objective which is to obtain ‘better drugs for a better world’.
With the advent puter-aided-drug modeling (CADM) the critical, scientific and faster
approach to newer drug entities based on the biologically active prototypes, combinatorial chemis-
try, chiral chemistry and biotechnology has paved the way towards more specific, potent and above
all less toxic ‘drugs’ to improve the ultimate quality of life in humans.
Keeping in view the above a
