PHAR 5316 Principles and Practice of Formulation Science

3 SCH. This course will provide an overview of the role of formulation science in the drug discovery and development process. The students will learn the principles of physical chemistry that are applied to transition a new chemical compound from preclinical to clinical testing and manufacturing. Particular emphasis will be placed on major steps in the drug development process in which formulation science plays a key role. Students will learn the distinctions between small molecule and biologic drugs, as well as simple and complex dosage forms. The course will cover basic strategies used in drug formulation including pre-formulation & physicochemical characterization, excipient selection for different dosage forms and active pharmaceutical ingredients, manufacturing processes for drug products, and application of Good Laboratory Practices and Good Manufacturing Practices.
Prerequisite: Completion of PHAR 5310 and PHAR 5311
Offered Spring
Letter Grade
