Particulate Technology for Delivery of Therapeutics

The book focuses on novel particulate technologies for the purpose of drug delivery tohumans. Nowadays, macro and nano-scale particles are being investigated for targeteddelivery of small and large biological macromolecules. The targeting of drugs can minimizethe dosage regimen and reduces dose related potential toxicity of drug molecules, whichin turn lead to increased potential compliance. Various types of organic, inorganic andpolymer particles are currently being investigated. These are attracting the attention ofthe research workers in the field of drug delivery science and technology.This book covers polymersomes, inorganic- organic composites, gold nanoparticlesbiopolymer and synthetic polymer particles etc.All aspects of drug delivery in relation to each technology have been described includingthese advances, Easy to read and understand the content of each chapterRich in up-to-date information regarding their application.
