Topic Background:

The new pharmaceuticals are very often completely new compounds, structures never studied before by chemists. Their properties – such as solubilities and acid-base nature, are unknown. Synthetic reactions may make many similar types of molecules, including structural and optical isomers. The methodologies that mean US Food and Drug Administration compliance with GLP require a separation to be able to separate and identify all major, minor, and trace components. It is no longer just determining a purity of the main component. Each minor contaminant or degradation product is also important in GLP.
