After successful use in cosmetics, sufficient data has been obtained to welcome some sugar emulsifiers into the field of drug dosage. Alkyl Polyglucosides presents a comprehensive compendium which guides a researcher from the APG-related preformulation stages to formulation processing, including the investigation of various APG-stabilized systems skin performance. This book introduces various APG representatives, their benefits in relation to certain conventional surfactants, physicochemical and interfacial properties, possible interaction with commonly used ingredients and diverse characterization techniques indispensable for the assessment of colloidal systems. The first chapter introduces alkyl polyglucosides, followed by chapters on their properties, behaviour, an overview of the patent protection mechanisms and guidelines for submitting patent applications. Finally, a conclusion surveys international patent applications involving APGs.
- Introduces the field of alkyl polyglucoside emulsifiers, listing all the contemporary and newly synthesized APG emulsifiers
- Provides detailed information on various aspects of APG-based structures
- Reveals potential of APG-stabilized vehicles as prospective delivery systems using several model drugs and cosmetic actives
- Includes an up-to-date review of research conducted in the field of APGs, facilitating future preformulation and formulation studies for researchers
- Offers a concise and practical compendium of characterization techniques
Readers generally interested in the field of topical preparations/products: pharmacists, chemists and other professions working in pharmaceutical industry, either in research and development divisions, or manufacture of topical dosage forms; cosmetic chemists and other professions working in cosmetic/personal care industry; PhD students interested in preformulation, formulation and characterization of a range of colloidal systems for dermal delivery of active pharmaceutical/cosmetic ingredients
