A. Synthetic Chemistry
Pharmaceutical chemistry deals with the most challenging and intricate task of performing a reaction, ultimately leading to an entirely new organic entity, exhibiting certain specific actions on the biological system to combat diseases in the ailing human beings. It includes inorganic pharmaceutical compounds (like antacids, analgesics, antipyretics, various radiopharmaceuticals etc) and organic bioactive compounds whichl combat various dreadful diseases.
Rational drug discovery (RDD) is not possible without support of computer. Modern computers with specialized softwares like CADD, TRIPHOSE, ACD, Chemoffice,
Chache, ADME, SPSS are used for qualitative structure activity relationship studies and for designing new drug molecules.The laboratory of Pharmachemistry is equipped with all modern sophisticated instruments for synthesis and design of new drug molecule along with study of its structure, property and structure activity relationship (SAR). Students synthesize different types of drug molecules like paracetamol, aspirin, benzimidazole, phenytoin etc. in the laboratory employing latest technology.
B. Analytical Chemistry / Instrumental Methods of Analysis

Last few decades there have been magnificent and significant advances in analytical instrumentation with computerized data handling devices across the world. Recently pharmaceutical analysis plays vital role as necessary integral component even greater horizons than the actual prevalent critical analysis of not only the active pharmaceutical products but also secondary pharmaceutical products like tablets, capsules etc.
The fundamental reasons for the legitimate surge in newer evolving methodologies in analysis of drug substances are perhaps due to tremendous growth in progress of pharmaceutical analysis towards achieving one ultimate aim i.e “Quality Drugs for a Healthy World”. Pharmaceutical analysis laboratory is equipped various ultra modern and sophisticated instruments for analysis of the bulk drug and its various formulation as per official compoundia like IP, BP & USP etc. The objective of the pharmaceutical analysis is to equip pharmacy graduates with the appropriate analytical skills required for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industries. It gives the student a good understanding of the principles of pharmaceutical analysis and render necessary supporting research methodology and demonstrate its application in the practical related problems.
