Molecular Pharmaceutics: Nano Technology and Targeted Drug Delivery Systems

This book describes the various approaches for developing novel drug delivery systems and the criteria for selection of drugs and polymers for the development of nanotechnology and targeted drug delivery systems. It also covers concepts, events and biological processes involved in drug targeting, tumour targeting and brain specific delivery. The major focus is to describe innovative approaches, types, formulation techniques, technologies, applications and evaluation of certain novel drug delivery systems such as liposomes, nanoparticles, microcapsules or microspheres, monoclonal antibodies, niosomes, aquasomes, phytosomes, and electrosomes.

The book encapsulated the change through intense analysis, new technologies, innovative evaluation of carriers and an array of practical approaches for pulmonary drug and nucleic acid based therapeutic delivery system, which will be handy for budding scientist and professional as well. Innovative techniques for drug delivery systems, applications of old theories with distinct reevaluation and well explained diagrams are the major part of this book.
