Outline and Purpose of the Course	In order to use a physiologically active substance as a pharmaceutical product, it is necessary to formulate it (shape it into a suitable dosage form) while considering efficacy, safety, stability, usability, and other qualities. In these lectures, you will learn about the therapeutic significance, method of formulating designs, and methods of manufacturing and evaluating various formulations from a comprehensive perspective, moving from basic to clinical levels.
Course Goals	1. Explain the significance of formulation design and its role in drug development. 2. Explain the therapeutic significance and characteristics of various pharmaceutical preparations, prescription designs, manufacturing methods, and test methods. 3. Explain physicochemical theories related to the manufacture of various pharmaceutical preparations. 4. Explain problems and solutions related to manufacturing various pharmaceutical preparations.
Schedule and Contents	1. Significance of formulation design in drug development 2. Therapeutic significance and classification of injection drugs 3. Basic theory of injection-drug design (solubility) 4. Basic theory of injection-drug design (stability) 5. Various general test methods related to injection drugs, including injection-drug manufacturing and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia formulation test method 6. Characteristics and methods of manufacturing dispersion-based preparations 　 7. Types, applications, and methods of preparing other liquid preparations, including eye drops, spray preparations, and crude drug preparations 8. Types of typical solid preparations listed in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia 9. Basic theory of the design of oral solid preparations (powder engineering) 10. Formulation design, manufacturing methods, and methods of evaluating powders, granules, and tablets 　 11. Capsule- and suppository-formulation design, manufacturing methods, and evaluation methods 12. Methods of evaluating solid preparations, including the Japanese Pharmacopoeia preparation-test method and the rheological characteristics of preparations 13. Formulation design, manufacturing methods, and methods of evaluating external preparations, such as ointments and patches 14. Significance of the drug-delivery system (DDS) and typical DDS preparations 15. Bioequivalence and generic-drug development
