Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE THEORETICAL, PRACTICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONCEPTS TO PERFORM THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL AND COSMECEUTICAL INTEREST THROUGH CLASSICAL AND ADVANCED/INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS APPROACHES DESCRIBED IN THE MAIN PHARMACOPOEIAS.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE THEORETICAL PRINCIPLES CONCERNING THE PURIFICATION AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS METHODS OF APIS (ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS) WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO THOSE REPORTED IN THE PHARMACOPOEIAS.
CALCULATION APPROACHES FOR SOLVING EXERCISES CONCERNING THE DOSAGES OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTEREST.
THE PRACTICAL, METHODOLOGICAL, AND INSTRUMENTAL ASPECTS TO BE PERFORMED IN THE CHEMICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORY FOR THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION BY MEANS OF SEPARATION TECHNIQUES, PURIFICATION OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTEREST.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- DESCRIBE THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF CLASSICAL AND ADVANCED CHEMICAL-PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS METHODS
- QUANTITATIVELY ANALYZE MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTEREST USING CLASSICAL, INSTRUMENTAL (CHROMATOGRAPHIC/SPECTROSCOPIC) TECHNIQUES
- PROCESS THE OBTAINED QUANTITATIVE DATA IN A STATISTICALLY CRITICAL WAY AND EVALUATE THEIR VALIDITY
- SOLVING CALCULATION EXERCISES RELATED TO THE DOSAGE OF MIXTURES OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND/OR NUTRACEUTICAL/COSMECEUTICAL INTEREST
MAKING JUDGMENTS
- EVALUATE THE PROCEDURES USED WITH A CRITICAL SENSE, THROUGH THE USE OF CALCULATIONS, STATISTICAL APPROACHES AND RESULTS VALIDATION
- DESIGN PROTOCOLS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF APIS AND IMPURITIES DESCRIBED IN THE MAIN PHARMACOPOEIAS
- SELECT THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE PURIFICATION, SEPARATION AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTEREST
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
COMMUNICATE AND PRESENT BY MEANS OF REPORTS ALSO IN DIGITAL FORMAT, AND IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONTEXT, THE RESULTS OF THE MOST SUITABLE PROTOCOLS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF MOLECULES OF PHARMACEUTICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL AND COSMECEUTICAL INTEREST
ABILITY TO LEARN
- USE THE TOOLS ACQUIRED FOR THE CRITICAL EVALUATION OF TEXTS SUCH AS PHARMACOPOEIA MONOGRAPHS, OR CERTIFIED OR DESCRIBED IN THE LITERATURE ANALYSIS METHODS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF APIS AND IMPURITIES AND THE SELECTION, IN THE CONTEXT OF PROBLEM SOLVING, OF DIFFERENT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF 48 HOURS OF LESSONS (6 CFU) AND 48 HOURS OF LABORATORY (4 CFU). FRONTAL LESSONS FOCUSED ON THE SOLUTION OF CALCULATION EXERCISES CONCERNING THE TOPICS COVERED IN LESSON WILL BE HELD TWO WEEKLY. TO ACCESS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST TAKE AT LEAST 75% OF THE LABORATORY EXERCISES.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH EVALUATION OUT OF THIRTY. THE EXAMINATION IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PROGRESSIVE AND CALENDARISED PHASES.
FOR ACCESS TO THE NEXT PHASE, PASSING THE PREVIOUS TEST IS REQUIRED.
STUDENTS ATTENDING AT LEAST 75% OF THE ATTENDANCE ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE 2 INTERCOMPENSE WRITTEN TESTS (TAKEN HALFWAY AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE PROGRAM) WHICH, IF BOTH WITH A POSITIVE RESULT (18/30), EXEMPT THEM FROM THE WRITTEN TEST EXAM IF ACHIEVED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO USEFUL APPEARANCES.
THE FIRST TEST CONSISTS OF PASSING THE UNKNOWN LABORATORY TEST WHICH CONCERNS THE SOLUTION OF AN ANALYTICAL PROBLEM HAVING THE SUBJECT OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE PRACTICAL EXERCISES.
THE WEIGHT OF THE NEXT TWO TESTS IS 50%.
THE SECOND TEST CONSISTS IN THE SOLUTION OF FIVE CALCULATION EXERCISES, TO PASS THE TEST THE CORRECT SOLUTION OF AT LEAST THREE PROBLEMS IS REQUIRED. THE WRITTEN TEST HAS A DURATION OF TWO HOURS. A MARK OF AT LEAST 18/30 IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE THIRD TEST
THE THIRD PHASE CONCERNS THE PASSING OF AN ORAL EXAMINATION WHICH PROVIDES FOR A DISCUSSION OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN. AIMED AT ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT INDICATED IN THE PROGRAM, AND VERIFYING COMMUNICATION SKILLS, PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE PRESENTATION ON TOPICS WITH THEORETICAL CONTENT.
STUDENTS ATTENDING AT LEAST 75% OF THE ATTENDANCE ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE 2 INTERCOMPENSE WRITTEN TESTS (TAKEN HALFWAY AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE PROGRAM) WHICH, IF BOTH WITH A POSITIVE RESULT (18/30), EXEMPT THEM FROM THE WRITTEN TEST EXAM IF ACHIEVED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO USEFUL APPEARANCES.
