Advances of Novel Formulations in Drug Delivery

The world is witnessing a fast-paced progress in approaches purported to deliver the drug for desired pharmacological response. The use of nanotechnology for drug delivery offers the possibility for improved therapeutic strategies with targeted delivery and minimal side effects. Nanotechnology assisted drug delivery employ designed nanomaterials to form delivery systems of nanoscale magnitude.

The book is written by contributors from all parts of the world possessing academic acumen in diverse zones of drug research. This is an endeavor to bring all the nanotechnology-based drug carriers under the umbrella of a single text. The drug carriers made up using natural as well as synthetic polymers are described in detail. The drug carriers include (though not limited to) particulates, vesicular, dendrimers, quantum dots, carbon nano tubes, nanocrystals, nanoemulsions, nanofibers.
