Modern pharmaceutical analysis entails much more than the evaluation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
(APIs), inert substances (excipients), and finished Drug Products (DP). Pharmaceutical analysis' main purpose is to
ensure drug quality. Quality cannot be tested into a product; nevertheless, well-planned testing using appropriate
methods and instrumentation can aid in the development of a DP's quality.' It's critical to have a complete grasp of
how pharmacological compounds interact with excipients, especially when residual solvents (including moisture)
are present. Understanding potential degradation reactions in the formulated product under various stress
conditions that may be experienced during storage and shipment of the final package is also critical. Dissolution
tests should also be in excellent accordance with bioavailability. In a brief, the goal of pharmaceutical analysis is to
assist in the development and assurance of DP quality. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued the new
Quality by Design (QbD) project, which is defined in the "Pharmaceutical Quality for the Twenty-First Century: A Risk-
based approach". This concept's main point is that quality should be built into a product by a deep understanding of

the product and the development and production process, as well as knowledge of the risks involved in making the
product and how to best minimise those risks through continuous product improvement [1].

Modern Pharmaceutical Analysis discusses QbD as well as other recent advancements such as the best
approaches to monitor Genotoxic Impurities (GTIs), chiral chemical separations, and biopharmaceutical protein
identification and analysis [2]. It covered a variety of separation methods used in the pharmaceutical industry for the
evaluation of a wide range of samples during the drug development process, including Capillary Electrophoresis
(CE) [3], Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-pressure or High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) with a focus on analytical chemistry's involvement. These approaches are still the
alternatives to use when verifying the purity of new drug candidates, monitoring modifications or scaling up
synthetic procedures, evaluating new formulations, and ensuring the quality of final DPs. For detecting
contaminants, hybrid approaches that combine chromatographic procedures with spectroscopic methods such as
Mass Spectrometry (MS) or Nuclear Magnetic resonance (NMR) have been proven to be beneficial [4-8]. The goal of
modern pharmaceutical analysis is to take into account a variety of essential standards as well as new initiatives
aimed at improving DP quality. Using the most up-to-date analytical technologies, we can achieve higher sensitivity
and selectivity [9]. Methods for monitoring Gib are included, as well. The consequences for pharmaceutical analysis
based on the new "Quality by Design" paradigm are highlighted [10]. As biopharmaceutical proteins become more
important, this course will cover their characterization and analysis. The important elements of modern
pharmaceutical analysis are providing up-to-date information on documentation in light of regulatory guidelines,
technology, and industry trends.
