Cosemeceuticals, cosmetic formulations developed for pharmaceutical purposes, has attracted attention of researchers across the globe in recent years. Despite of extensive armamentarium available to treat UV rays associated skin damage and subsequent photo-ageing, search for a suitable alternative still remains elusive. This book explicitly explains a representative study to formulate and evaluate cosmeceutical formulation containing multi-photoprotectants for effective protection from harmful effects due to chronic exposure to sun rays. It is an attempt to provide experimental insights in to...

Impurity profiling and drug degradation pathways are essentials features for regulatory acceptance of any new drug entity. Despite of technological advancements in pharmaceutical analysis, structural elucidation of drug molecules, impurities produced during formulation remains challenging tasks for researchers. Unique chemical behavior, complex properties and interactions of different functional groups involved in active pharmaceutical ingredients along with different chemical environments with excipients and storage condition further complicate the issues. Furthermore isolation and...

Quality is a very important tool in pharmaceutical industry and it is a prime area of concern for regulatory agencies across the globe, in order to facilitate production of medicines without batch-to-batch variations and hence maintaining the same therapeutic effectiveness, as this is a vital segment of our healthcare system. With the advent of total quality management, a new vista has opened for assured quality of pharmaceuticals. The present work also involves application of total quality management practices of orodispersible tablet formulations. This technique is widely applied in...
