In-depth discussion of retention processes, modern HPLC separation theory, properties of stationary phases and columns are well blended with the practical aspects of fast and effective method development and method validation. Practical and pragmatic approaches and actual examples of effective development of selective and rugged HPLC methods from a physico-chemical point of view are provided.
This book elucidates the role of HPLC throughout the entire drug development process from drug candidate inception to marketed drug product and gives detailed specifics of HPLC application in each stage of drug development.
The latest advancements and trends in hyphenated and specialized HPLC techniques (LC-MS, LC-NMR, Preparative HPLC, High temperature HPLC, high pressure liquid chromatography) are also discussed.
Dr. ROSARIO LOBRUTTO has over thirteen years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry working both with drug substances and drug products. He is a Group Head in the Pharmaceutical and Analytical Development Department at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation managing multiple early to late phase projects for both small drug molecules and proteins/peptides and is responsible for teaching in-house HPLC method development training. Dr. LoBrutto is the author of twenty research articles, fifty presentations, and five book chapters in different areas of analytical/physical chemistry and has served as an adjunct professor for seven years. Dr. LoBrutto's main research directions include HPLC retention mechanisms, the influence of mobile phase modifiers on analyte retention and chromatographic figures of merit, and method development strategies for small molecules and proteins/peptides.
