METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS TEACHING IN THE CONTEXT OF STUDYING THE PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS

Abstract

The article adduces the ways to solve the main problems faced by teachers working with foreign students in teaching pharmaceutical analysis in the context of studying the discipline of Pharmaceutical Chemistry; analyzes the main issues that can affect the performance of the teaching of foreign students.

The research is based on the study of materials obtained from open sources of information and authors’ own experience. The article presents modern technologies of teaching and testing of foreign students on Pharmaceutical Chemistry, approved at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Since the quality of the drug is laid down at the stage of pharmaceutical development, the student must clearly know the elements of pharmaceutical development and pharmaceutical analysis. The purpose of pharmaceutical analysis is to: learn general methods of analysis of substances of medicinal substances and to determine their qualities in appearance, solubility and reaction of the environment in accordance with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia (SPhU); to study and explain the physical and physico-chemical methods of analysis of organic medicinal products; to be able to carry out reactions of identification of substances of medicinal substances by cations and anions in accordance with the requirements of SPhU; to use chemical methods for the identification of medicinal products of organic structure by analytical-functional groups; to determine the physical constants of organic substances for the identification and purification of medicinal products; to use the definition of refractive index and specific rotation of solutions of drugs for their identification and purity; to practice the general requirements of the SPhU for the testing of the maximum content of impurities; to be able to quantify the content of medicinal substances in the substance by different methods; to be able to conduct qualitative and quantitative rapid-analysis of active substances in extemporal dosage forms. Detailed and thorough acquaintance with the basics of the discipline of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, gives the opportunity to more fully master the studied material, realize the scientific and creative potential of students, enrich their knowledge, which will be directly used in their practical activities.

The proposed method allows the teacher to successfully build an educational process, which ultimately positively affects the overall mastering of the course.
