Pharmaceutical analysis is the application of analytical procedures used to determine the purity, safety and quality of drugs and chemicals. Meant for undergraduate students of Pharmacy, this book emphasizes the basics of pharmaceutical analysis, techniques used in analysis, methods of expressing concentrations, preparation and standardization of various molar and normal solutions, titrations & electrochemical methods of analysis. Recent developments in pharmaceutical analysis have been incorporated. Pharmaceutical analysis is used to: identify the drug in the formulated product; confirm whether the formulation contain solely the active ingredient or additional impurities are presents; check the stability of the drug; find the rate of drug release from its formulation; confirm the identity and purity of pure drug meets specification; measure the concentrations of specified impurities; and confirm the pKa values, partition coefficients, solubilities.

Cancer is one of the most life threatening diseases and possess many health hazard in both developed and developing countries. Leukemia is one of the most common cause of cancer occur throughout the world due to the lack of effective chemotherapeutic agents and side effects of anticancer drugs on prolong therapy of chemoprevention so anticancer patients switch over to the herbal medicine for their cure. Pyrimidines are the class of heterocyclic compound of pharmaceutical importance compound having pyrimidine ring moiety are associated with fungicidal, antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, and anti-tumor activity. The compound prepared by the Knoevenagel and Claisen-schmidt condensation. The chemical structures were confirmed by different spectral techniques. The data of these synthesized compounds were submitted to National Institute of Health, USA under the drug discovery programmed of NCI (National Cancer Institute) and screened for anticancer activity at a single high dose (10-5 M) in full NCI 60 cell lines. The compound 3-(2-amino-6-(3-chlorophenyl)-pyrimidin-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one found to be most efficient anticancer activity with selective influence on brea
