Authors: O.O. Tsurkan, I.V. Nizhenkovska, O.O. Hlushachenko

This study guide provides a comprehensive approach to the analysis of medicinal substances through the lens of their functional groups, essential for students in the third and fourth academic levels of pharmaceutical chemistry. Designed for both theoretical learning and practical application, it delves into the classification and behavior of medicinal compounds, focusing on their chemical properties, reactivity, and interactions based on functional groups.

Key features include:

• Detailed methodologies for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
• Step-by-step laboratory protocols aligned with functional group identification and analysis
• Coverage of modern techniques and instrumental methods used in pharmaceutical analysis
• Case studies to reinforce learning and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world examples
• Tables, charts, and illustrations that aid in the visualization of chemical structures and reactions

The guide is indispensable for pharmacy students aiming to deepen their understanding of drug substances at the molecular level, as well as for professionals involved in drug analysis, quality control, and regulatory affairs. The textbook also serves as a valuable resource for preparation for exams and practical assessments in pharmaceutical chemistry courses.
