Abstract

Role of Microbial Chemistry in Advancing Pharmaceutical Analysis

Author(s): Wei-Min Chao

Pharmaceutical analysis is essential for ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of drug products. Microbial chemistry contributes significantly to this field by providing analytical challenges and opportunities associated with biologically derived compounds. Microbial metabolites and fermentation products require precise analytical evaluation due to their structural complexity and sensitivity to environmental conditions. This article explores the integration of microbial chemistry with pharmaceutical analysis, emphasizing analytical validation, quality control, and regulatory compliance for microbial-derived pharmaceuticals.
