An Integrated Guide to Human Drug Metabolism: From Basic Chemical Transformations to Drug-Drug Interactions uses the chemistry of each of the metabolic transformations to underpin the discussion of drug interactions with foods, herbal medicines, and other drugs. Each of the human metabolic processes are covered, employing examples drawn from known metabolic transformations of drugs used clinically. The clinical relevance of metabolism is discussed, focusing on appropriate prescribing (age-related dosage adjustments, routes of administration, and personalized medicines). Appropriate for use in the classroom or for self-study, this book is for students and researchers needing a reference for interdisciplinary research in drug interactions.Metabol... is at the center of personalized medicine, as it is a governing factor in the response of the patient to a drug. For example, does the patient express the genes, and so enzymes, which are responsible for the metabolism of a drug? Do they express the genes responsible for the bioactivation of a prodrug into its active form? Examples of clinically used agents for which metabolic phenotyping is essential will be used to highlight the increasing necessity for understanding the genetic profile of individual patients. This book includes questions and answers to gauge learning of each chapter, real-life case studies, and the basic science as a basis for the discussion of clinical aspects.

Liposomes in Drug Delivery: What, Where, How and When to Deliver is a concise, well-structured reference covering all the important issues related to the potential of this technology. Organized to provide practical information to researchers from any discipline with a particular therapeutic or bio-active substance to deliver, this book helps readers understand if liposomes can be of benefit for their particular need, what is the best type of liposome to use according to what needs to be delivered, where/when to deliver it, and how to design/prepare/chara... liposome properties for a particular application.The book is structured in Four parts. The first covers in a concise but in-depth way, what liposomes are, which are the liposome types, advantages/disadvant... and what is their stability, characterization methods, in vitro stability, and in vivo fate after different administration methods (routes). The second part focuses on the different mechanisms for liposomal drug delivery. Methodologies/techno... for manipulation of liposome structure/properties in order to design liposomes for particular delivery applications. Specific roadmaps for liposome design are discussed, including components to incorporate in liposomes for specific types of encapsulated molecules or specific routes of administration. The third part covers liposome applications for drug delivery. It focuses on specific delivery considerations for particular diseases. Finally, the fourth part covers methods of liposome fabrication.

Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies: Cell and Tissue Based in Vitro Culture Models, Second Edition, summarizes the most important developments in in vitro models for predicting the permeability of drugs.This book is structured around three different approaches, summarizing the most recent achievements regarding models comprising (i) immortalized cells with an intrinsic ability to grow as monolayers when seeded in permeable supports, (ii) primary cells isolated from living organisms and directly cultured as barrier monolayers, and (iii) tissue-based models constructed with cell lines and extracellular matrix that resembles the tridimensional structure of mucosae and other biological membranes, or animal/patient-deriv... tissues. Each model is covered in detail, including the protocol of generation and application for specific drugs/drug delivery systems. The equivalence between in vitro cell and tissue models and in vivo conditions is discussed, highlighting how each model may provisionally resemble different drug absorption route.Chapters included in the first edition were updated with relevant data published in recent years, while four new chapters were included to reflect new emerging directions and trends in drug permeability models.Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies: Cell and Tissue Based in Vitro Culture Models, Second Edition, is a critical reference for drug discovery and drug formulation scientists interested in delivery systems intended for the administration of drugs through mucosal routes and other important tissue barriers (e.g. the BBB). Researchers studying mucosal biology can use this book to familiarize themselves and exploit the synergic effect of mucosal delivery systems and biomolecules.
