Pharmaceutical Stress Testing

Stress testing is the main tool that is used to predict stability problems,
develop analytical methods, and identify degradation products/pathways.
9 j: G7 S- ^4 M0 qSince there are no detailed regulatory guidelines that direct how stress testing
& H$ `' h: y" K( I# @, _is to be done, nor has there ever been a text/reference book on the
subject, stress testing has evolved into an artful science that is highly dependent
on the experience of the company or the individuals directing the studies. This
0 ]6 g9 R: @1 y/ Q) g( ?book provides readers with a single source reference that benchmarks the

2 x0 R& k3 ?1 ltopics such as mass balance, photostability, oxidative susceptibility, and the
chemistry of drug degradation are addressed in an objective, detailed scientific
manner, with ample references to relevant guidances and the scientific literature.
Compiling a book to be used as a scientific reference for the topic of

which will, hopefully, stimulate new ideas and further development of the

a useful and practical scientific guide that is a welcome addition to the

as other scientists further the science and fill in topics that are poorly covered
or missing.

呜呜呜呜  ，英语烂的我只有哭了哈

楼主高大上。刚看前俩词我以为是个测试，读完发现是本书，貌似还不粗的书，我理解的对吗？

看了我头好大

顶一下 只是英文不太好
