Profiles of Drug Substances, Excipients and Related Methodology vol 19, Volume 19 (Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances, Excipients, and Related Methodology)

Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered through the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. "Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances" brings this information together into one source.
