| XSEN*3020 Pharmaceutical Analysis F,W (2-4) [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| The aim of this course is to simulate the pharmaceutical quality control laboratory. Students are introduced to pharmaceutical terms, definitions and forms, drug legislations, and regulatory agencies (FDA, TPP). Strong emphasis is placed on the navigation and interpretation of pharmacopeial compendia (USP, BP, EP). Practical aspects include physical, wet chemical and instrumental analyses of drug substances, in-process materials and finish products using official pharmacopeial methodologies. This course is taught at Seneca College. | |

| XSEN*3060 Pharmaceutical Analysis - Advanced W (2-3) [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| This course reinforces the concept of how the pharmaceutical laboratory works by focusing on method validation requirements within the pharmaceutical industry. It introduces students to the regulatory (ICH, FDA) requirements and guidelines for systems validation, including TPP-acceptable methods and GMP regulations. Validation methods that are taught include Related Substances, Assay, Dissolution and Cleaning. Critical validation parameters (e.g., linearity, specificity, limit of quantitation, etc.) are focused on as well as validation protocols including establishing specifications and dealing with exceptions or out-of-specification (OOS) results. Process validation characteristics (i.e., Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operation Qualification (OQ), Performance Qualification(PQ) or System Suitability) are also emphasized as well as "Best Practices" such as Process Capabilities and Annual Product Review. This course is taught at Seneca College. | |

| XSEN*3070 Pharmaceutical Product Formulations F,W (2-3) [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| This subject deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of pharmaceutical product formulation with an emphasis on semi-solid and liquid formulations. The students prepare and test ointments, creams, lotions, and syrups in the laboratory. Formulation as it relates to overall product stability and efficacy is also covered in both theoretical and practical terms. This course is taught at Seneca College. | |

| XSEN*3200 Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry W (1-3) [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| The determination of the structure of organic compounds using spectroscopic methods such as N.M.R. and mass spectroscopy are discussed. Correlation of structure and reactivity (i.e. drug activity) of organic compounds is also explored. A multi-step synthesis of an anesthetic (lidocaine) and mass-spectrometric analysis of an unknown organic compound (or mixture) are examples of lab-projects. This course is taught at Seneca College. | |
