DED ICAT IONALFRED N. MARTIN (19192003)
This fiftieth anniversary edition of Martins Physical Phar-macy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is dedicated to the mem-ory of Professor Alfred N. Martin, whose vision, creativity,dedication, and untiring effort and attention to detail led tothe publication of the first edition in 1960. Because of hisnational reputation as a leader and pioneer in the then emerg-ing specialty of physical pharmacy, I made the decision tojoin Professor Martins group of graduate students at Pur-due University in 1960 and had the opportunity to witnessthe excitement and the many accolades of colleagues fromfar and near that accompanied the publication of the firstedition of Physical Pharmacy. The completion of that workrepresented the culmination of countless hours of painstak-ing study, research, documentation, and revision on the partof Dr. Martin, many of his graduate students, and his wife,Mary, who typed the original manuscript. It also representedthe fruition of Professor Martins dream of a textbook thatwould revolutionize pharmaceutical education and research.Physical Pharmacy was for Professor Martin truly a labor oflove, and it remained so throughout his lifetime, as he workedunceasingly and with steadfast dedication on the subsequentrevisions of the book.
The publication of the first edition of Physical Pharmacygenerated broad excitement throughout the national and inter-national academic and industrial research communities inpharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences. It was the worldsfirst textbook in the emerging discipline of physical pharmacyand has remained the gold standard textbook on the appli-cation of physical chemical principles in pharmacy and thepharmaceutical sciences. Physical Pharmacy, upon its publi-cation in 1960, provided great clarity and definition to a dis-cipline that had been widely discussed throughout the 1950sbut not fully understood or adopted. Alfred Martins Physi-cal Pharmacy had a profound effect in shaping the directionof research and education throughout the world of pharma-ceutical education and research in the pharmaceutical indus-try and academia. The publication of this book transformedpharmacy and pharmaceutical research from an essentiallyempirical mix of art and descriptive science to a quantita-tive application of fundamental physical and chemical scien-tific principles to pharmaceutical systems and dosage forms.Physical Pharmacy literally changed the direction, scope,
focus, and philosophy of pharmaceutical education during the1960s and the 1970s and paved the way for the specialty dis-ciplines of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics which,along with physical pharmacy, were necessary underpinningsof a scientifically based clinical emphasis in the teaching ofpharmacy students, which is now pervasive throughout phar-maceutical education.
From the time of the initial publication of Physical Phar-macy to the present, this pivotal and classic book has beenwidely used both as a teaching textbook and as an indis-pensible reference for academic and industrial researchers inthe pharmaceutical sciences throughout the world. This sixthedition of Martins Physical Pharmacy and PharmaceuticalSciences serves as a most fitting tribute to the extraordinary,heroic, and inspired vision and dedication of Professor Mar-tin. That this book continues to be a valuable and widelyused textbook in schools and colleges of pharmacy through-out the world, and a valuable reference to pharmaceuticalscientists and researchers, is a most appropriate recognitionof the lifes work of Alfred Martin. All who have contributedto the thorough revision that has resulted in the publicationof the current edition have retained the original format andfundamental organization of basic principles and topics thatwere the hallmarks of Professor Martins classic first editionof this seminal book.
Professor Martin always demanded the best of himself, hisstudents, and his colleagues. The fact that the subsequent andcurrent editions of Martins Physical Pharmacy and Phar-maceutical Sciences have remained faithful to his vision ofscientific excellence as applied to understanding and apply-ing the principles underlying the pharmaceutical sciences isindeed a most appropriate tribute to Professor Martins mem-ory. It is in that spirit that this fiftieth anniversary edition isformally dedicated to the memory of that visionary and cre-ative pioneer in the discipline of physical pharmacy, AlfredN. Martin.

PREFA C E
Ever since the First Edition of Martins Physical Pharmacywas published in 1960, Dr. Alfred Martins vision was to pro-vide a text that introduced pharmacy students to the applica-tion of physical chemical principles to the pharmaceutical sci-ences. This remains a primary objective of the Sixth Edition.Martins Physical Pharmacy has been used by generations ofpharmacy and pharmaceutical science graduate students for50 years and, while some topics change from time to time,the basic principles remain constant, and it is my hope thateach edition reflects the pharmaceutical sciences at that pointin time.
ORGANIZATION
As with prior editions, this edition represents an updating ofmost chapters, a significant expansion of others, and the addi-tion of new chapters in order to reflect the applications of thephysical chemical principles that are important to the Phar-maceutical Sciences today. As was true when Dr. Martin wasat the helm, this edition is a work in progress that reflectsthe many suggestions made by students and colleagues inacademia and industry. There are 23 chapters in the SixthEdition, as compared with 22 in the Fifth Edition. All chap-ters have been reformatted and updated in order to makethe material more accessible to students. Efforts were madeto shorten chapters in order to focus on the most importantsubjects taught in Pharmacy education today. Care has beentaken to present the information in layers from the basicto more in-depth discussions of topics. This approach allowsthe instructor to customize their course needs and focus theircourse and the students attention on the appropriate topicsand subtopics.
With the publication of the Sixth Edition, a Web-basedresource is also available for students and faculty members(see the Additional Resources section later in this preface).
FEATURES
Each chapter begins with a listing of Chapter Objectives thatintroduce information to be learned in the chapter. Key Con-cept Boxes highlight important concepts, and each ChapterSummary reinforces chapter content. In addition, illustra-tive Examples have been retained, updated, and expanded.Recommended Readings point out instructive additionalsources for possible reference. Practice Problems have been
moved to the Web (see the Additional Resources sectionlater in this preface).
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM THE FIFTH EDITION
Important changes include new chapters on PharmaceuticalBiotechnology and Oral Solid Dosage Forms. Three chap-ters were rewritten de novo on the basis of the valuablefeedback received since the publication of the Fifth Edi-tion. These include Chapter 1 (Introduction), which isnow called Interpretive Tools; Chapter 20 (Biomaterials),which is now called Pharmaceutical Polymers; and Chap-ter 23 (Drug Delivery Systems), which is now calledDrug Delivery and Targeting.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Introduction One of the earmarks of evidence-based medicine is that the practitioner should not just accept the conventional wisdom of his/her mentor. Evidence-based medicine uses the scientific method of using observations and literature searches to form a hypothesis as a basis for appropriate medical therapy. This process necessitates education in basic sciences and an understanding of basic scientific principles.1,2 Today more than ever before, the pharmacist and the pharmaceutical scientist are called upon to demonstrate a sound knowledge of biopharmaceutics, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology, physiology, and toxicology and an intimate understanding of the physical, chemical, and biopharmaceutical properties of medicinal products. Whether engaged in research and development, teaching, manufacturing, the practice of pharmacy, or any of the allied branches of the profession, the pharmacist must recognize the need to rely heavily on the basic sciences. This stems from the fact that pharmacy is an applied science, composed of principles and methods that have been culled from other disciplines. The pharmacist engaged in advanced studies must work at the boundaries between the various sciences and must keep abreast of advances in the physical, chemical, and biological fields in order to understand and contribute to the rapid developments in his or her profession. You are also expected to provide concise and practical interpretations of highly technical drug information to your patients and colleagues. With the abundance of information and misinformation that is freely and publicly available (e.g., on the Internet), having the tools and ability to provide meaningful interpretations of results is critical. Historically, physical pharmacy has been associated with the area of pharmacy that dealt with the quantitative and theoretical principles of physicochemical science as they applied to the practice of pharmacy. Physical pharmacy attempted to integrate the factual knowledge of pharmacy through the development of broad principles of its own, and it aided the pharmacist and the pharmaceutical scientist in their attempt to predict the solubility, stability, compatibility, and biologic action of drug products. Although this remains true today, the field has become even more highly integrated into the biomedical aspects of the practice of pharmacy. As such, the field is more broadly known today as the pharmaceutical sciences and the chapters that follow reflect the high degree of integration of the biological and physicalchemical aspects of the field. Developing new drugs and delivery systems and improving upon the various modes of administration are still the primary goals of the pharmaceutical scientist. A practicing pharmacist must also possess a thorough understanding of modern drug delivery systems as he or she advises patients on the best use of prescribed medicines. In the past, drug delivery focused nearly exclusively on pharmaceutical

Since significant figure rules are based upon estimations derived from statistical rules for handling probability distributions, they apply only to measuredvalues. The concept of significant figures does not pertain to values that are known to be exact. For example, integer counts (e.g., the number of tablets dispensed in a prescription bottle); legally defined conversions such as 1 pint = 473 mL; constants that are defined arbitrarily (e.g., a centimeter is 0.01 m); scalar operations such as doubling or halving; and mathematical constants, such as and e. However, physical constants such as Avogadro's number have a limited number of significant figures since the values for these constants are derived from measurements.
Example 1-5 The following example is used to illustrate excessive precision. If a faucet is turned on and 100 mL of water flows from the spigot in 31.47 sec, what is the average volumetric flow rate? By dividing the volume by time using a calculator, we get a rate of 3.177629488401652 mL/sec. Directly stating the uncertainty is the simplest way to indicate the precision of any result. Indicating the flow rate as 3.177 0.061 mL/sec is one way to accomplish this. This is particularly appropriate when the uncertainty itself is important and precisely known. If the degree of precision in the answer is not important, it is acceptable to express trailing digits that are not known exactly, for example, 3.1776 mL/sec. If the precision of the result is not known you must be careful in how you report the value. Otherwise, you may overstate the accuracy or diminish the precision of the result.
In dealing with experimental data, certain rules pertain to the figures that enter into the computations:
1. In rejecting superfluous figures, increase by 1 the last figure retained if the following figure rejected is 5 or greater. Do not alter the last figure if the rejected figure has a value of less than 5.
2. Thus, if the value 13.2764 is to be rounded off to four significant figures, it is written as 13.28. The value 13.2744 is rounded off to 13.27.
3. In addition or subtraction include only as many figures to the right of the decimal point as there are present in the number with the least such figures. Thus, in adding 442.78, 58.4, and 2.684, obtain the sum and then round off the result so that it contains only one figure following the decimal point:
This figure is rounded off to 503.9.
Rule 2 of course cannot apply to the weights and volumes of ingredients in the monograph of a pharmaceutical preparation. The minimum weight or volume of each ingredient in a pharmaceutical formula or a prescription
P.6
should be large enough that the error introduced is no greater than, say, 5 in 100 (5%), using the weighing and measuring apparatus at hand. Accuracy and precision in prescription compounding are discussed in some detail by Brecht.5
4. In multiplication or division, the rule commonly used is to retain the same number of significant figures in the result as appears in the value with the least number of significant figures. In multiplying 2.67 and 3.2, the result is recorded as 8.5 rather than as 8.544. A better rule here is to retain in the result the number of figures that produces a percentage error no greater than that in the value with the largest percentage uncertainty.

these variables are quantitative in nature. In other words, if you were given a set of interval data you would be able to calculate the exact differences between the different values. This makes this type of data quantitative. Since the interval between measurements can be very small, we can also say that the data are continuous. Another laboratory example of interval data measures is temperature. Think of the gradations on a common thermometer (in Celsius or Fahrenheit scale)they are typically spaced apart by 1 degree with minor gradations at the 1/10th degree. The intervals could become even smaller; however, because of the physical limitations of common thermometers, smaller gradations are not possible since they cannot be read accurately. Of course, with digital thermometers the gradations (or intervals) could be much smaller but then the precision of the thermometer may become questionable. Another temperature scale that will be used in various sections of this text is the Kelvin scale, a thermodynamic temperature scale. By international agreement, P.7 the Kelvin and Celsius scales are related through the definition of absolute zero (in other words, 0 K = -273.15C). Since the thermodynamic temperature is measured relative to absolute zero, the Kelvin scale is considered a ratio measurement. This also holds true for other physical quantities such as length or mass. The third common data type in the pharmaceutical sciences is ordinal scale measurements. Ordinal measurements represent the rank order of what is being measured. Ordinals are more subjective than interval or ratio measurements. The final type of measurement is called nominal data. In this type of measurement, there is no order or sequence of the observations. They are merely assigned different groupings such as by name, make, or some similar characteristic. For example, you may have three groups of tablets: white tablets, red tablets, and yellow tablets. The only way to associate the various tablets is by their color. In clinical research, variables measured at a nominal level include sex, marital status, or race. There are a variety of ways to classify data types and the student is referred to texts devoted to statistics such as those listed in the recommended readings at the end of this chapter.6,7 Error and Describing Variability If one is to maintain a high degree of accuracy in the compounding of prescriptions, the manufacture of products on a large scale, or the analysis of clinical or laboratory research results, one must know how to locate and eliminate constant and accidental errors as far as possible. Pharmacists must recognize, however, that just as they cannot hope to produce a perfect pharmaceutical product, neither can they make an absolute measurement. In addition to the inescapable imperfections in mechanical apparatus and the slight impurities that are always present in chemicals, perfect accuracy is impossible because of the inability of the operator to make a measurement or estimate a quantity to a degree finer than the smallest division of the instrument scale. Error may be defined as a deviation from the absolute value or from the true average of a large number of results. Two types of errors are recognized: determinate(constant) and indeterminate (random or accidental). Determinate Errors Determinate or constant errors are those that, although sometimes unsuspected, can be avoided or determined and corrected once they are uncovered. They are usually present in each measurement and affect all observations of a series in the same way. Examples of determinate errors are those inherent in the particular method used, errors in the calibration and the operation of the measuring instruments, impurities in the reagents and drugs, and biased personal errors that, for example, might recur consistently in the reading of a meniscus, in pouring and mixing, in weighing operations, in matching colors, and in making calculations. The change of volume of solutions with temperature, although not constant, is a systematic error that can also be determined and accounted for once the coefficient of expansion is known. Determinate errors can be reduced in analytic work by using a calibrated apparatus, using blanks and controls, using several different analytic procedures and apparatus, eliminating impurities, and carrying out the experiment under varying conditions. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, determinate errors can

If Xi = 9.99 and N = 10, so 9.99/10 = 0.999. Given the number of significant figures, the average would be reported as 1.00 g, which equals 1 mL since the density of water is 1 g/mL.
The median is the middle value of a range of values when they are arranged in rank order (e.g., from lowest to highest). So, the median value of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] is the number 3. In this case, the mean is also 3. So, which value is a better indicator of the central tendency of the data? The answer in this case is neitherboth indicate central tendency equally well. However, the value of the median as a summary statistic P.9 becomes more obvious when the data set is skewed (in other words, when there are outliers or data points with values that are quite different from most of the others in the data set). For example, in the data set [1, 2, 2, 3, 10] the mean would be 3.6 but the median would be 2. In this case, the median is a better summary statistic than the mean because it gives a better representation of central tendency of the data set. Sometimes the median is referred to as a more robust statistic since it gives a reasonable outcome even with outlier results in the data set. Example 1-7 As you have seen, calculating the median of a data set with an odd number of results is straightforward. But, what do you do when a data set has an even number of members? For example, in the data set [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 10] you have 6 members to the data set. To calculate
