This book is conceived to reflect the practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy. The contents of this book are an integral part of the syllabi prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India and Indian universities. This practical book covers whole of the experimental component specified in the syllabus. Authors have made special attempts to cover all aspects ranging from preformulation studies, dosage form design, product manufacturing process and evaluation. This book only discusses relevant information and has been written in simple, straightforward language. The main motivation behind this book was to cover all the important practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy I under one umbrella at an affordable price to encourage students to read and learn.

Pharmaceutics is a broad field which is connected to and focused on discovering, formulating, optimizing, and manufacturing various dosage forms, along with their standardization. One of the most important distinctions between Industrial Pharmacy and other branches of Pharmaceutics is the strict requirements of pharmaceutical industry for good manufacturing practice (GMP). To excel as a pharmaceutical formulator, you must be able to handle the increasingly complex risk-based GMP demands from early conceptual design, qualification and validation to practical developmental implementation and execution of a pharmaceutical quality system. Keeping the requirements of B. Pharm 1st semester pharmacy students in view, an effort has been taken to present 32 experiments in this book as per the requirement mentioned by PCI syllabus. All the experiments are presented with theory, principle, procedure, use and storage along with tabulations. I hope the students will like to utilize this book while performing the experiments for Industrial Pharmacy and will definitely get acquainted with the concepts with greater precision. The concerned faculties will definitely appreciate this book as a handbook to train their students. For the improvement of the quality of the Pharmaceutics I Laboratory Manual suggestions and criticisms from all corners of profession are greatly welcome. I would be grateful to the readers if they draw my attention to the deficiencies and errors that might have remained.

We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Physical Pharmaceutics I'. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. A sincere attempt has been made through this manual to provide practical knowledge to the students related to various experiments in Physical Pharmaceutics I. The manual mainly includes the experiments through which the students will learn how the basic properties of drug like solubility, dissolution, can limit the bioavailability of drug and in turn the efficacy of the drug. The solubility enhancement techniques like reduction of particle size, use of solubilizing agents or prodrugs etc. are also discussed. The students will also learn about the importance of drug stability and how the parameters like temperature, pH, humidity and light can affect the drug stability. Physical pharmaceutics is very important subject which helps the researchers to design and formulate various dosage forms including its manufacturing aspects. The students will be proficient in handling various equipment used in physical pharmaceutics laboratory. The students will also be able to determine pKa, partition coefficient, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, HLB value, stability constant, buffer capacity, etc. in the laboratory. We have taken extra efforts to make the experiments simpler, easy to understand and perform. The graphs have also been provided wherever necessary. Each experiment is divided into sections like aim, practical significance, relevant course outcomes, practical skills, relevant affective domain related outcomes, practical outcomes, minimum theoretical background, requirements, related questions, and references. The manual has been designed with more emphasis on the practical skill improvement of the students so that the students can perform the practical with ease and comfort. We are very much thankful to the designer, publisher, printers and all the stakeholders for putting their efforts for successfully bringing this manual out for the students.
