Inorganic Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Practice

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

The aim of the course is acquiring the basis of modern inorganic chemistry with adaptation of the principles to understand the physical and chemical properties of the most important pharmacy-related elements and inorganic compounds. The subject devotes special attention to the inorganic compounds (active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients) listed in the Pharmacopoeia. The practices provide the experimental background of these educational goals.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Acknowledgement of the course is in accord with the Code of Studies and Examinations. Participation in the practices is obligatory. Maximum three absences can be accepted. Students have to write at least four mini-tests on the practices. The average of the results must be at least 50%. The practical work (results of the written tests and the experimental work) is evaluated by a practical grade. Satisfactory (2) evaluation is the minimum requirement of acknowledgement of the semester.
