Pharmaceutical analysis is a broader term which can be defined in many ways. It is the series of processes that are used for identification, determination, separation, purification, and structure elucidation of the given compound used in the formulation of pharmaceutical products. The components, to which the pharmaceutical analysis is done, are normally active pharmaceutical ingredients, pharmaceutical excipients, contaminants present in pharmaceutical products, or drug metabolites. In pharmaceutical analysis, the samples are typically finished pharmaceutical products, biological samples, impurities, contaminants, and pharmaceutical raw materials. Pharmaceutical analysis can be done using various analytical techniques. This chapter discusses in details the fundamentals of pharmaceutical analysis including its types and its associated important terminologies.

Today, pharmaceutical analysis is employed throughout the whole drug discovery and development process. It is used to provide accurate and precise data, not only supporting drug discovery and development but also post-market surveillance. This review illustrates some important developments in the field of modern pharmaceutical analysis.
Pharmaceutical drug analysis (PDA), besides quantifying drugs and related substances (RS), can enrich drug discovery (DD) by suggesting new leads. PDA may be extended towards comparative in-silico predictions for drugs and RS.
Pharmaceutical analysis is a broader term which can be defined in many ways. It is the series of processes that are used for identification, determination, separation, purification, and structure elucidation of the given compound used in the formulation of pharmaceutical products.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: development of modern analytical methods. drug purity and stability studies. pharmacokinetics. therapeutic drug monitoring. characterization and detection of new therapeutics. metabolic studies. drug-related aspects of forensic toxicology. detection of illicit/recreational drugs use.
