Fundamentals and Design of Drug Delivery Systems: A Textbook with Lab Activities, 1st Ed. is a modern textbook covering all key concepts pertaining to drug delivery courses for pharmaceutical sciences and engineering students.
The textbook introduces basic pharmacology, barriers to drug delivery, drug targeting, and novel drug delivery systems and illustrates the design considerations and approaches of drug delivery systems. Nanotechnology in drug delivery systems is reflected in various chapters. Novel drug delivery systems such as drug delivery using red blood cells, biomimetic drug delivery systems, micro/nano-robots, and micro/nano-fluidic devices are discussed in detail. Recent discoveries such as proton sponging effect, new nucleic acid delivery methods, mucoadhesives, and stimulated drug delivery systems are also introduced in the book. Practical lab activities – using the software Design-Expert - are built into the chapters to help students design experiments, analyze the data, and visualize the results.
Fundamentals and Design of Drug Delivery Systems: A Textbook with Lab Activities, 1st Ed is the ideal educational resource for upper undergraduate and graduate courses. Professionals in the Pharma industry can also benefit from the new concepts and platforms presented.
