Features: Modern physical pharmacy is a branch of pharmaceutical science that is primarily guided by the principles and experimental methods of physical chemistry, focusing on studying and elaborating on the fundamental theories and techniques of modern drug design, formulation, and quality evaluation. This book is divided into two units: The first unit explains the physicochemical properties and principles of drugs and formulations, including the solubility, thermodynamic and chemical kinetic properties of drugs, surface phenomena, the state classification system and characteristics of dosage forms, electrical properties, and relevant theoretical knowledge of biophysics, which constitute the fundamental theoretical part of physical pharmacy. The second unit discusses the unit operations of the pre-processing processes in modern drug formulation, formulation techniques, novel drug delivery technologies, process optimization design, key points in the design of new drug formulations, analytical techniques in quality evaluation methods, the stability of drug formulations, and in vitro dissolution testing, which covers the design and evaluation of modern drug formulations and novel drug delivery systems. For the convenience of reference and use by readers, each chapter is accompanied by references; at the end of the main text, there are an "English-Chinese Glossary of Terms" and a "List of Symbols and Units."
