By Susana Franco An analytical method is a sequence of steps that allows us to have our sample in the necessary conditions to obtain information about its composition, structure, and/or properties; such method can be classified according to the type of analysis performed, as qualitative or quantitative; also by the type of analytical technique used to determinethe properties of the sample.....

What are organic impurities and how do they affect drug quality?
Let's know what organic impurities are and how they can affect drug quality. Organic impurities are chemical substances that are present in a drug, but are not part of the desired active substance. These impurities can have different origins, from used reagents or by-products generated during API synthesis to degradation productsor by-products that are not part of the active... Read More...

Risk analysis using Q(SAR) studies.
Risk analysis is a way of examining a hazard in order to avoid or reduce it by determining the severity and likelihood of harm to human health or the ecosystem from exposure to a toxic chemical compound. Toxicological risk is estimated by looking at the potential for a specific chemical compound to be released into the environment andthe... Read More... "Risk analysis using Q(SAR) studies."
Toxicological Assessment (Toxicological Assessment)
The toxicity of substances contained as impurities in medicines is of paramount interest to consumers, who demand assurance that products do not harm their health or well-being. The cost of ignoring this fact is enormous for companies: in addition to the direct impact on people, errors damage the integrity of the brand andthe reputation of the company.... Read More...

What is a qualification and why is it important?
Qualification is the process of establishing the biological safety of a product in the presence of a degradation compound or impurity above specified levels. A reasoned method must be used to establish acceptable criteria for impurities and must include the safety criteria considered. The interpretation of the regulation is very important todefine...

What are (Q)SAR studies?
Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (Q)SAR models are based on one of the most widely used techniques in the field of chemoinformatics. They are complex mathematical algorithms that facilitate, economize and accelerate the predictive evaluation of the biological properties or activities of chemical compounds based exclusively on their molecular structure. They are basedon... Read More... "What are (Q)SAR studies?"
Pesticides for agricultural use
What are pesticides? What do you need to approve the registration of pesticides in Mexico? Pesticides or biosides are types of chemical compounds intended to repel, destroy or prevent any undesirable species of plants or animals. They are used during the stages of production, storage, transportation and distribution of food of agricultural origin, whether it is food for humansor animals.... Read More...

Impurities and Degradation Compounds
What is a degradation compound in medicines and how does it affect us? Degradation compounds are substances produced by the breakdown of the active ingredient. Various impurities may result due to degradation of the active ingredient or some other interaction in storage, so stability studies need to be performed to ensure the safety of the product. Thepresence... Read More... "Impurities and Degradation Compounds".
Sales chemists.
Why does a person who studies chemistry end up being a salesperson? What would they answer if we were to ask chemistry and related careers students if they see themselves working as salespeople? Surely the answer is a resounding no. Most students think of working in a laboratory of a pharmaceutical or any other chemistry company when they leave college.
