Pharmaceutical Technology

Pharmaceutical technology is application of scientific knowledge or technology to pharmacy, pharmacology, and the pharmaceutical industry. It includes methods, techniques, and instrumentation in the manufacture, preparation, compounding, dispensing, packaging, and storing of drugs and other preparations used in diagnostic and determinative procedures and in the treatment of patients. Over the past several decades, the analytical techniques pertaining to drug detection and characterization have evolved a great deal resulting in development, optimization and validation of vast array of methodologies and techniques. Continued efforts are being made for impurity profiling while bringing in better accuracy and precision for separation and quantification of the analytes. Pharmaceutica Analytica Acta reports these advances periodically. The current issue of the journal focuses on distribution of nasal spray droplet distribution, in silico studies on Spebrutinib and pharmaceutical analysis based on flow analysis techniques. In silico studies are conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of different drug analogues and their docking properties. Spebrutinib is a potential anti-cancerous agent as it effectively inhibits tyrosine kinase, an enzyme important for cancer cell survival. Al-Obaidi et al. [2] have conducted in silico studies using different analogues of this anti-cancerous agent. The design and docking studies were also useful for synthesis and chemical characterization of the analogues. The study also emphasized on conducting biological activity against cancerous cell and toxicity assessment in normal cells.
