Inorganic chemistry forms the foundation for understanding salts, metals, and minerals used in drug formulations. This book covers essential topics in pharmaceutical inorganic chemistry, including acid-base chemistry, buffer systems, and the role of electrolytes and radiopharmaceuticals. It explains the physical and chemical properties of commonly used compounds and their pharmaceutical applications. Analytical methods and quality tests for purity are also discussed. This foundational resource aids students in grasping the chemical principles necessary for various pharmacy disciplines.
Claude Moreau is a chemist and educator whose expertise lies in the structural behavior and pharmaceutical relevance of inorganic compounds. He has designed and led foundational courses in inorganic chemistry tailored for pharmacy curricula, emphasizing therapeutic metals, coordination complexes, and radiopharmaceuticals. Claude’s research examines bioinorganic interactions and solubility enhancements using mineral excipients. He frequently collaborates with medicinal chemists to support drug stability investigations. His teaching is noted for its clear demonstrations and real-world analogies.
