3. Pharmaceutical Drug
A compound manufactured for use
as a medicinal drug
Composition of pharmaceutical
drug
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
(API)
• Excipients
5. Why to identify pharmaceuticals?
Confirmation of structure of API
Intrinsic properties of API
Solid state properties of API
Bulk properties
Mislabeling
Defects
9. Band assignments in paracetamol
1650–300 cm−1
Intensity and
position
1649 cm−1 →
1639 cm−1
(Amide bond)
10. Quantitative Analysis
Measurement of
the quantities of
the particular
constituents
present in a
substance.
Determine
polymorphic
impurities with
a limit of
quantitation
<2%
Example:
Paracetamol
form I and II.
13. Loading
The loading plot graphs the coefficients of each variable for the first
component versus the coefficients for the second component.
Use the loading plot to identify which variables have the largest effect
on each component.
Range from -1 to 1.
Loadings close to -1 or 1 = Strong influence
Loadings close to 0 =Weak in fluence .
