The Pharmaceutical Chemistry division focuses on understanding the physical properties, chemical synthesis, manufacture, and synthesis of medicines. Pharmaceutical chemistry contributes indirectly to the development of chemistry and path ways for synthesis of new drugs. It includes isolation, characterization and synthesis of compounds that can be used in medicine for the treatment & cure of diseases. These labs are well equipped with Ostwald's viscometer, Stalagmometer, Refractometer, digital pH meter, Polarimeter, Conductivity meter, Potentiometer,Colorimeter, Melting point apparatus, Distillation units, Rectification unit, Oven, Muffle Furnace and Ion deionizer, Karl-Fischer Titrator.etc.

Various laboratories of this division are-

Pharmacology department of Metro College of Pharmacy, Greater Noida trains the students in subject in Anatomy, Physiology & Path physiology, pharmacology & Toxicology. Students are given facilities to understand different system of Human Anatomy & their function & Pathology with tools like, Models, Charts, Permanent Slides, Bones, Skelton etc. After completely well versed with the subject Human Anatomy, physiology & Path physiology students start to learn& make use of Pharmacological laboratories. Here students learn about the General pharmacology, drug dose, dry use, Mechanism of action of drugs, screening of drugs etc.

Software for the basic demonstration of Pharmacological experiments is provided. According to the requirements of CPCSEA, Institutional Animal Ethics Committee is constituted to carryout experiments related to the using of animals. A major interest of research in this department is clinical research which is the well flourishing field of Pharmaceutical Research Programme. Well planned and spacious Central Animals House is provided to facilitate the students to learn about the Pharmacological screening methods.

The major labs of this department are-

•    1) Pharmacology Laboratory

•    2) Anatomy, Physiology & Pathophysiology Laboratory

•    3) Animal house

Two laboratories of Pharmacognosy are well positioned for the proper entry of light which is the essential requirement for the microscopical slides to be observed. The labs are well equipped and suitable for various Pharmacognostical studies which the students are undertaking. They provide facilities for the students to acquire skills in learning morphological and microscopical characters of natural drugs using, Compound Microscope, Dissection Microscope & Projection Microscope.

Students are trained in the various stages of natural drug research like different types of extraction, separation of groups of compounds, purification and identification of individual compounds and the recharacterization. Sophisticated instrument are used for the Chromatographic and standard Spectroscopic techniques.

The major research interest of the department has been in the area of traditional Health care system, with a view of utilization of traditional and folklore remedies into the provision of primary health care. Standardization of herbal drugs which is the major task in the present scenario is also carried out by the students in this department as their project work for the qualitative & quantitative evaluation of Phytomedicine.

Further research interest is in the Biotechnological preparation of plant tissue culture of medicinal plants. Students are provided with various tools like ,crude drugs, charts, slides, Photographs etc. to assist them in their learning process.
