Reputed Biopharmaceutics Journals

biopharmaceutics was recently coined. In its broad sense we may define biopharmaceutics as the study of the relationship between some of the physical and chemical properties of the drug and its dosage forms and the biological effects observed following administration of the drug in its various dosage forms. This broad definition would include drug latentiation and the preparation of different salts of a given acidic or basic drug for the purpose of altering the biological effects elicited by the parent drug. Hence, biopharmaceutics encompasses the study of the relation between the nature and intensity of the biological effects observed in animals and man and the following factors: (a) simple chemical modification of drugs such as formation of esters, salts, and complexes ; (b) modification of the physical state, particle size and/or surface area of the drug available to the absorption sites; (c) presence or absence of adjuvants in the dosage form with the drug; (d) the type of dosage form in which the drug is administered ; and (e) the pharmaceutical process or processes by which the dosage form is manufactured.
