Overview
Chemical and pharmaceutical research is the scientific investigation that underlies the discovery, design, development, testing, and manufacture of medicines and the chemical compounds from which they are made. It brings together chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and engineering to identify candidate molecules, understand how they interact with the body, optimize their properties, and develop reliable formulations and manufacturing processes. The field spans the synthesis and characterization of new compounds, the analysis of drug purity, stability, and impurities, the design of drug delivery systems, and the evaluation of safety and efficacy through preclinical and clinical study. Analytical and computational methods play a central role, from spectroscopy and chromatography to computer-aided drug design, in characterizing compounds and predicting their behavior. Research relevant to this topic in Advanced Pharmaceutical Science and Technology and affiliated titles includes work on drug formulation and controlled-release systems, the identification and quantification of an adulterant in a dietary supplement, a review of supercritical fluid technology, and a review of computer-aided drug design, reflecting the journal's coverage of pharmaceutical chemistry, formulation, and analysis. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to chemical and pharmaceutical research and the development of medicines.
