Objectives and short summary of activities: Main objectives:
1. Multistudy of drug quality and monitoring of human drug use in Africa
2. Establishment of e-network of drug analytical laboratories in Africa in collaboration with Karolinska Instiut.
Drugs in developing countries are often of low quality or even faked. Specific drug analytical methods such as HPLC can be used to measure the contents of the drug in specific preparations or the the concentrations of drugs and its metabolites in patients. Low concentrations can be measured and in Stockholm we have more advanced techniques called LCMS (Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) that allows even lower measurements, have higher speed and can be next to completely automated
Target/Beneficiary community
