Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. “Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients” brings this information together into one source. Volume 1 expands the scope of the series to include profiles of excipient materials and features a profile on titanium dioxide.
