Course Objectives
Practical training in Pharmaceutical Analysis 2 (2 ECTs)
The aim of the course is:
-to introduce the student to practice quantitative drug analysis (chemical and instrumental);
-to train the student the minimum grade to know, select and carry outefficiently and in a critical way a quantitative determination;
The Practical training will be carried out individually or in groups by students in laboratories where they will be allowed to self-evaluate and execute autonomously the proper analytical method to quantify the drug substances, after being adequately trained.Both classical (titration) and instrumental analytical procedures will be practiced.
Quantitative Drug Analysis (6 ECTs)
The aim of the course is:
-to give both the theoretical bases required for the quantitative analysis of compounds of pharmaceutical interest, and the know-how to properly address the choice of the most appropriate analytical method for their determination;
-to train the student to learn and know the analytical procedures in quantitative drug analysis that are reported in Official Pharmacopoeia Monographies.
These skills will be also carried out using the computing capacity acquired with solving specific problems and application of instrumental methods able to obtain analytical data with a particular interest on chemical-pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry (Quality Control).

Teaching Methods
Practical training in Pharmaceutical Analysis 2 (2 ECTs)
Each practical experience will be introduced by a theoretical lesson where the experience will be illustrated. Slides of this part of laboratoty (titration,
and instrumental analysis) will be provided on Kiro platform and available during the laboratories.
Quantitative Drug Analysis (6 ECTs)
The course consists of a theoretical discussion of basic principles in the quantitative analysis (chemical and instrumental). In addition, each topic is studied in deep with exercises and problems (stoichiometry) carried out in the classroom, both individually and in groups. All the material (theory and exercises) will be discussed in power point presentations available to the students on Kiro platform.
For students with specific needs, who cannot attend in presence the educational activities and who have applied for Inclusive Teaching Modalities, suitable teaching material will be provided for fruitful independent study. If required, self-learning can be supported by tutoring or supplementary teaching activities and by individual meetings, both in presence and online, scheduled according to student needs.

Assessment Methods
Practical training in Pharmaceutical Analysis 2 (2 ECTs)
Conditions to achieve the course:
-each student will be required to attend the laboratories for a total of 32 hours (16 hours x ECT). The attendance is mandatory.
-The exit of each examination (quantitative determination) will be element of evaluation to achieve the practical course;
-the student must obtain a mean evaluation of at least 18/30; The achievement of this course is necessary to be admitted at teaching exam of Pharmaceutical Analysis 2 and it doesn’t give title to acquire the 2 ECT: the 8 ECTs (6+2) acquisition of teaching will occur only after the achievement of the whole teaching.
Quantitative Drug Analysis (6 ECTs)
Conditions to acheive the course:
-an admission test with 4 basic chemical formulas from general and analytical chemistry (raised also at course) is set out.
For the students, who correctly will perform the 4 formulas, then a written exam with different exercises, included open questions, quiz with multiple choice and explanation of the answer, description of titration curves and graphics and 2 problems (stoichiometry) will be used for evaluating students;
-the ECTs (6) acquisition is associated with the achievement either of exams in final (written) examination (evaluation of at least 18/30).
Appropriate examination methods are provided for students who fall under the categories specified for Specific Learning Difficulties (DSA) and Special Educational Needs (BES).

Practical training in Pharmaceutical Analysis 2 (2 ECTs)
The course includes Practical training in single-workplace laboratories for the quantitative part using titrations, while group experiences will be carried out in the case of instrumental quantitative analysis. On the basis of the theoretical knowledges acquired during the courses of Pharmaceutical Analysis 1 and Quantitative Drug Analysis, the student will be able to characterize quantitative (by volumetric and instrumental methods) inorganic and organic substances registered in the Italian Official Pharmacopoeia and in the European Pharmacopoeia. Each student will be involved for 32 hours.
Quantitative Drug Analysis (6 ECTs)
The principles of quantitative pharmaceutical analysis are the main issues of the Quantitative Drug Analysis. Italian and the European Pharmacopeias, and Supplements in analytical control of substances of pharmaceutical interest, Safety regulations (rules) in laboratory (D.L. n. 626; 19/9/94) will be fundamental. The topics discussed will be:
- volumetric analysis (titrations in aqueous media: acid-base, precipitating, complexometric, redox; titrations in non-aqueous media; applications of all the titrations);
-gravimetric analysis;
-gravimetric and volumetric analysis assays (Italian and European Pharmacopeias);
-instrumental analysis: potentiometry, quantitative analysis of absorbance spectra (UV-Visible) and chromatographic methods.
During the lessons some exercises and problems will be illustrated and solved to consolidate the comprehension.
