The various types of lipids that can be exploited for drug delivery and their chemical composition and physicochemical characteristics are reviewed in detail, along with their characterization aspects and effects of their dimensions on drug delivery systems behavior in-vitro and in-vivo. The book covers the effective utilization of these lipids based systems for controlled and targeted delivery of potential drugs/genes for enhanced clinical efficacy.
- Provides the present state of widely used lipid-based nanoparticulate delivery systems
- Explores how lipid-based nanocarriers improve drug delivery safety
- Describes the nanoformulation design and the preparation methods of lipid-based nanocarriers
Researchers and bioengineers working in the areas of nanomedicine and drug delivery
