This book Atlas of Microscopy of Medicinal Plants, Culinary Herbs, and Spices is another book of  natural product and pharmcognosy. Mr.Chauhan, I hope that you would like to read it.

Although chemical methods of analysis, especially chromatography, are now accepted as standard techniques for the identification of many vegetable materials, microscopical structure is long established as providing a most useful and reliable criterion. Microscopy is particularly applicable to the exmaination of mixtures when individual components can readily be recognised whereas no satisfactory chromatographic identification would be possible. Microscopy also has the advantages of requiring only small quantities of the material and, once the technique has been acquired, a conclusion as to whether or not a sample is genuine can be reached very rapidly. This book is intended primarily for use in the verification of materials.

Atlas of Microscopy of Medicinal Plants, Culinary Herbs, and Spices by Betty P. Jackson & Derek W. Snowdon 

As this book is intended primarily for use in the verification of materials, for ease of location we have  arranged the contents in alphabetical order according to their commonly accepted names.  We have also provided separate indices of Synonyms and Botanical Sources. All the drawings in this book have been made solely by ourselves from previously authenticated samples.  For the drugs and spices, which usually occur commercially in the powdered form, number 60 grade  powders were prepared for examination, but for the culinary herbs, which are more usually available in  the whole or broken condition, fragments of a suitable size were examined. The drawings were made at a  magnification of 500, using a camera lucida, from fresh mounts prepared as described in the section on  Practical Methods. In preparing the drawings our aim has been to illustrate the diagnostic characters for each material and we have excluded cell contents which are common to a morphological group but are not otherwise diagnostic, for example, aleurone grains and fixed oil globules in seeds. The descriptions, similarly, are intended to give a detailed account of the actual characters seen in the fragments rather than the full histology of the plant organ from which the materials are derived. We have quoted dimensions of cells and other particles only when they are of value in distinguishing  between closely similar materials.

Pharmacokinetics is the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It also concerns the relationship of these processes to the intensity and time course of pharmacologic (therapeutic and toxicologic) effects of drugs and chemicals. Pharmacokinetics is a quantitative study that requires a preexisting competence in mathematics at least through calculus. It is also a biologic study and can be very useful to the biomedical scientist.

Pharmacokinetic by Milo Gibaldi  and Donald Perrier

The most commonly employed approach to the pharmacokinetic characterization of a drug is to represent the body as a system of compartments, even though these compartments usually have no physiologic or anatomic reality, and to assume that the rate of transfer between compartments and the rate of drug elimination from compartments follow first-order or linear kinetics.

Fermentation is an integral part of pharmaceutical technology. The Term 'fermentation' is derived from the Latin verb fervere, to boil, thus describing the appearance of the action of yeast on extracts of fruit or malted grain. The boiling appearence is due to the production of carbonn di oxide caused by the anerobic catabolism of the sugars present in the extract. Here this one is the finest book about fermentation technology.Hope that you will enjoy reading it.

The International Pharmacopoeia

21st June 2011
Tuesday 07:59 AM

Hello readers, hope you all doing well in your professional field. This post gives you a brief review of International Pharmacopoeia published by WHO. As we all know that international pharmacopoeia plays an important role in the pharmaceutical industry for registrations and regulations of drug products or substances. So it is a very important book of industrial pharmacists particularly.

Download Link: http://ebookee.org/go/?u=http://turbobit.net/4j4op6x76hlk.html
International Pharmacopoeia

The International Pharmacopoeia 1 (Ph. Int.) comprises a collection of recommended procedures for analysis and specifications for the determination of pharmaceutical substances (active ingredients and excipients) and dosage forms that is intended to serve as source material for reference or adaptation by any WHO Member State wishing to establish pharmaceutical requirements. The pharmacopoeia, or any part of it, shall have legal status, whenever a national or regional authority expressly introduces it into appropriate legislation.

History: The history of The International Pharmacopoeia dates back to 1874 when the need to standardize terminology and to specify dosages and composition of drugs led to attempts to produce an international pharmacopoeial compendium. The first conference, called by the Belgian Government and held in Brussels in 1902, resulted in the Agreement for the Unification of the Formulae of Potent Drugs, which was ratified in 1906 by 19 countries. The outcome considerably influenced the subsequent publication of national pharmacopoeias.

First edition: 

The Third World Health Assembly, held in May 1950, formally approved the publication of the Pharmacopoea Internationalis and recommended, in accordance with Article 23 of the WHO Constitution, “the eventual inclusion of its provisions by the authorities responsible for the pharmacopoeias”. It was thus recommended that the Pharmacopoea Internationalis was not intended to be a legal pharmacopoeia in any country unless adopted by the pharmacopoeial authority of that country. From that moment the World Health Organization constituted the Permanent International Pharmacopoeia Secretariat. The first edition, published with the aim of creating a worldwide, unified pharmacopoeia, relied on collaboration with national pharmacopoeia commissions for its preparation. It was published in two volumes (1951 and 1955) and a supplement (1959) in English, French and Spanish, and was also translated into German and Japanese. Altogether, it included 344 monographs on drug substances, 183 monographs on dosage forms (capsules, injections, tablets and tinctures) and 84 tests, methods, and general requirements.

A large number of national pharmacopoeias and official lists were examined and assistance was also obtained from the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) to determine the selection of substances and products to be described in the pharmacopoeia. Latin was chosen for the monograph titles because of its distinction as an international language. Experts collaborated with the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization with regard to biological products, and with those working in specific divisions, e.g. malaria, maternal and child health, mental health, and venereal diseases, to help collate the required information.

Second edition: 

The second edition was published in 1967 as Specifications for the Quality Control of Pharmaceutical Preparations, with a subtitle classifying it as the second edition of The International Pharmacopoeia. Owing to the development of new analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, chromatography (column, paper and thin-layer), non-aqueous titration, and radioactivity, the second edition incorporated numerous alterations and constituted a revision of the first edition. The selection of monographs and appendices was based largely on the availability, at the time of preparation, of specifications intended for publication in national pharmacopoeias and in other volumes of specifications for pharmaceutical quality control. Specifications for 162 pharmaceutical preparations not included in the first edition were introduced in the second edition, while 114 monographs were deleted, based on feedback from the first edition. New analytical methods were also added. The specifications and methods in the monographs were tested in a number of national pharmacopoeial and pharmaceutical quality control laboratories, in pharmaceutical manufacturers’ laboratories, and at various pharmacopoeial institutes.

Third Edition: 

Since 1979, the drugs appearing in The International Pharmacopoeia have been selected from the list of essential drugs based on the first report of the WHO Expert Committee on the Selection of Essential Drugs. Specifications are provided in the monographs for the identification, purity, and content of the essential drugs appearing in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs, and their updates.

The third edition eventually consisted of five volumes: Volume 1 contained general methods of analysis; Volumes 2 and 3, quality specifications for the majority of essential drug substances in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs and Volume 4, information on tests, methods, and general requirements and quality specifications for pharmaceutical substances, excipients, and dosage forms. Volume 5, the final volume, contained tests and general requirements for dosage forms and quality specifications for pharmaceutical substances and tablets, which practically completed the list of monographs for active pharmaceutical substances, and a section on antimalarial drug substances and their most widely used dosage forms.

Several legal texts make the European Pharmacopoeia mandatory:A Convention on the Elaboration of a European Pharmacopoeia ratified in 2003 by 31 European countries and the European Union; European Union directives 2001/83/EC and 2001/82/EC,on medicines for human use and for veterinary use, respectively, maintain the mandatory character of European Pharmacopoeia specifications on medicines as regards their qualitative and quantitative composition and the tests to be carried out on these medicines, the raw materials used in production and the intermediates of synthesis. All producers of medicines or substances for pharmaceutical use therefore must apply the quality standards of the European Pharmacopoeia for the marketing and use of these products in Europe. The texts of the European Pharmacopoeia are legally binding and compliance is enforced by the administrative or juridical authorities. The national authorities of the member states are bound to apply them if necessary replacing any national monograph on the same subject. The 4th Edition consists of an initial volume 2002 (4.0) and a collection of 8 non-cumulative supplements (4.1) published three times a year following the decisions of each session of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission. With supplement 4.6, the 4th Edition comprises 1750 specific monographs, 285 general methods illustrated by figures or chromatograms and 2140 reagents. Every 4 months a new volume enters into force.

The United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF)-30

It is raining heavily today. Due to water logging on the road I was unable to go anywhere. Relaxing and enjoying the rainfall. Drinking a number of cups of hot coffee.

Well friends, another very popular Pharmacopoeia is The United States Pharmacopoeia which come along with National Formulary. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is the official pharmacopeia of the United States, published dually with the National Formulary as the USP-NF. The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (usually also called the USP) is the nonprofit organization that owns the trademark and copyright to the USP-NF and publishes it every year. Prescription and over–the–counter medicines and other health care products sold in the United States are required to follow the standards in the USP-NF. USP also sets standards for food ingredients and dietary supplements.

United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF 30):

The United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF) is a book of public pharmacopeial standards. It contains standards for medicines, dosage forms, drug substances, excipients, medical devices, and dietary supplements. Monographs and General Chapters The USP–NF is a three volume combination of two official compendia, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the  National Formulary (NF). Monographs for drug substances and preparations are featured in the USP.
Monographs for dietary supplements and ingredients appear in a separate section of the USP. Excipient monographs are in the NF. A monograph includes the name of the ingredient or preparation; the definition; packaging, storage, and labeling requirements; and the specification. The specification consists of a series of tests, procedures for the tests, and acceptance criteria. These tests and procedures require the use of official USP Reference Standards. Medicinal ingredients and products will have the stipulated strength, quality, and purity if they conform to the requirements of the monograph and relevant general chapters.
