Photolytic Degradation is defined as any change or alteration on the main chemical constituent of a drug, food, paints, dyes, inks, pesticides, etc., due to light or Photon particles. The term photolytic Degradation is coined due to the action of Sunlight and air on a product, causing both oxidation and hydrolysis. In the article, we will be introduced to different factors causing photolytic Degr…

Accelerated Stability Testing in Expiration Dating of Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms
When pharmaceuticals are subjected to expedited stability testing, the medications produced in the factories are found to be stable in terms of shelf life. At a certain period, the drug particles begin to degrade and lose their stability. For this reason, the finished pharmaceutical drugs must contain an expiration date on the drug product. In the finished pharmaceutical product, test stability i…
Stabilization of Medicinal Agents Against Common Reactions like Hydrolysis & Oxidation
Mainly, drug substances are the chemical entities that intend to go through chemical changes or degradation. Molecular changes and the presence of different functional groups cause it. Degradation starts due to several factors such as temperature, moisture, pressure, etc. A degradation reaction can also occur in organic and aqueous solvents. The drug substances undergo various pathways that cause…
Physical and Chemical Factors Influencing the Chemical Degradation of Pharmaceutical Product: Temperature, Solvent, Ionic Strength, Dielectric Constant, Specific & General acid base catalysis
Pharmaceutical products are medicines prepared for human use and are called pharmaceutical products. These are chemically prepared with specific formulation and controlled by pharmaceutical legislation (authorized). Different brands or pharmaceutical companies prepare them in different packaging. On the other hand, chemical degradation is the process that breaks a chemical molecule into small che…
Reaction Kinetics: Zero, Pseudo-zero, First & Second Order, Units of Basic Rate Constants, Determination of Reaction Order
Reaction kinetics or Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate and mechanism of chemical changes that take place during the chemical reaction. In relation to the pharmaceutical formulation, it includes the study of physical and chemical changes in drugs as well as the dosage form. The pace of a chemical reaction, the stability test, and the half-life are all affected by a variety of circumstance…
Derived Properties of Powders, Porosity, Packing Arrangement, Densities, Bulkiness & Flow Properties
Derived Properties of PowdersDry powder materials are handled in one out of every two factories throughout the world. Every powder has its own set of properties that influence its final quality. In addition to its inherent features, a powder's behaviour is influenced by its interactions with its environment, notably with the atmosphere. The density and flowability of the powder will also be a…
Particle Shape, Specific Surface, Methods for Determining Surface Area, Permeability, Adsorption
Particle ShapeA sphere's radius, or more often, diameter, can be used to calculate its size. The length of a cube's side or diagonal can be used to indicate its size. Particles, on the other hand, can take a variety of forms, ranging from needle shape to irregular polygonal, as seen in Figure. Quantitatively measuring and defining the size of these particles may be difficult. However, the…
Methods for Determining Particle Size by Different Methods, Counting and Separation Method
Particle size analysis might appear to be a difficult and complicated subject. The concept of measuring and making conclusions about microscopically small particles is confusing, and the technology used to measure particles is scary. Particle size analyzers are important for these measurements, and technologies like laser diffraction help us learn more about material qualities.

Rheological Properties of Emulsions and Emulsion Formulation by HLB Method
EMULSIONLiquid dosage forms such as emulsions are biphasic. An emulsion is a mixture of at least two fluids that are basically insoluble in one another. However, utilizing emulsifying agents, one fluid is dispersed into other fluid as droplets. In an emulsion, two phases are involved. In one phase, dispersion takes place, and in the other, continuity takes place. Fluids dispersed in droplets cons…
Stability of Emulsions, Preservation of Emulsions
Emulsiоn StаbilityАn emulsiоn is а mixture оf twо оr mоre liquids thаt аre nоrmаlly immisсible with eасh оther. Frоm а thermоdynаmiс роint оf view, аn emulsiоn is аn unstаble system, sinсe there is а nаturаl tendenсy fоr а liquid-liquid system tо seраrаte аnd reduсe its interfасiаl energy.

Formulation of Flocculated and Deflocculated Suspensions
А рhаrmасeutiсаl susрensiоn is the disрersiоn оf sоlid раrtiсles (usuаlly а drug) in а liquid medium (usuаlly аqueоus) in whiсh the drug is nоt reаdily sоluble. This dоsаge fоrm is used fоr рrоviding а liquid dоsаge fоrm fоr insоluble drugs (hydrорhоbiс drugs).
