Department of Pharmaceutical chemistry is a prominent academic wing of Pharmacy education that imparts knowledge to students about the chemistry of pharmaceutical substances and their applications in the field of Pharmacy. The study of Pharmaceutical Chemistry encompasses the fundamental life-related pharmaceutical substances and their chemical interactions with life, using organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry and biochemistry as a base, upon which is built a wide range of research fields.

The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry specializes in the area of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, analytical method development, drug design and development. It is concerned with the drug design and synthesis of biologically active molecules. Our research is focused to gain new chemical molecules that could enable the discovery of new pharmaceuticals or optimizing the already known structures of drugs, thereby expanding the portfolio of chemical drugs. 

Pharmaceutical Analysis is a branch of Pharmaceutical chemistry that deals with  wide range of aspects involving process for identification, determination, quantification and purification of a substance, separation of the components of a solution or mixture, or determination of structure of chemical compounds.

Pharmaceutical Analysis deals with the analysis of the raw materials as well as finished pharmaceutical formulations which are very important for the evaluation of quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. The department also provides an exhaustive postgraduate programme focused on research and coursework relating to the most recent advances in Pharmaceutical analysis. Department has started PG branch in Pharmaceutical Analysis in the year 2009.

Sophisticated infrastructure facilities are available in the department to provide knowledge and skills in handling the sophisticated instruments.

Students will be learning about the qualitative and quantitative determination of APIs and pharmaceutical formulations using various analytical techniques like titrimetric, electrochemical spectroscopic and chromatographic methods.
