HPLC methods on drug analysis

The dramatic development of chromatographic techniques, specially high per­ formance or high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) has made possible the easy analysis of organic compounds, including drugs and drug components, for last two decades. This rapid increase and improvement of analytical methodology with HPLC has enabled researchers and scientists to cope with other scientific and instru­ mental developments in their fields of work. Thousands of impressive and original scientific publications, text books and monographs describe the techniques for drug analysis with high performance liquid chromatography. However, no concise presentation of the general proper­ ties of the drugs and their HPLC methodology exists together in the market. This work contains the general properties necessary for the analysis of 232 drugs as well as the HPLC methods for many other drugs and drug components. It is hoped that it will fill a gap and provide a precise survey of the HPLC methods for drug analysis. It is intended as an immediate guide in the laboratory and will be of help to the scientists, researchers and technicians in the field of analysis. HPLC methods are among the most important methods of drug analysis. Ghosh describes more than 1000 HPLC methods published in the literature for 650 commonly used drugs. The concise presentation is intended as an immediate guide and enables a quick selection of methods to be made in laboratory. The book will be a great help to scientists, researchers, engineers and technicians involved in the analysis of drugs or their metabolites in pharmaceutical preparations or biological materials.
