This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evident rapid expansion of scientific work and intense interest in both experimental and clinical aspects of new drug delivery systems provided strong motivation for planning this symposium. In designing the program, speakers were identified for their particular expertise in a wide range of topics such as dermal delivery systems, pro-drugs, oral prolonged release, rate-controlled drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of drug release systems, the synthesis of polymeric drug carriers and the refinement of drug delivery pumps. Because of the considerable involvement of diverse scientists from laboratories around the world where investigations relevant to the topic are now being pursued, a deliberate effort was made to invite international leaders in the field to share their knowledge and experimental outcomes. Thus, plenary papers and panel discussions were offered by organic chemists, bioengineers, patholo gists, material scientists, physical chemists, and pharmacokineti cists from academic and industrial laboratories in some dozen countries. This book which records the presentations offered at the sym posium covers a broad array of topics ranging from general overviews of the physicochemical concepts and analytical methodology which underpin the refinement of drug delivery systems and the tissue responses associated with the use of such systems through detailed discussions of a variety of current approaches employed in the development of new systems.

Download or read book Targeted Drug Delivery written by Rudolph L. Juliano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume describe a powerful emerging approach for the therapy of disease. Targeted drug delivery, that is control of the kinetic behavior, tissue distribution, and subcellular localization of pharmaco logically active agents, offers an important means for improving the efficacy of a wide variety of drug therapies. This is particularly true for therapeutic approaches based on newer agents which are the products of recombinant DNA research. These agents, be they peptides, proteins, or oligonucleotides, tend to be larger, more complex, and less stable than traditional drugs. Thus they stand to benefit most from drug delivery systems which can protect them from premature degradation and which can carry them to critical target sites in the body. This volume examines several important aspects of the current state of drug delivery research; it also attempts to project future directions for this field. Successful approaches to drug targeting are based, first of all, on a sophisticated understanding of the biological barriers encountered by the drug-carrier complex as it moves from the portal of administration to the ultimate target site. A second aspect of successful drug delivery is appro priate matching of the disease entity with the pharmacologically active substance and with the delivery system. Thus it is important to be aware of the variety of delivery technologies which currently exist and to be sensitive to their strengths and limitations.

Download or read book Polymer Nanocomposites in Biomedical Engineering written by Kishor Kumar Sadasivuni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough discussion of the physics, biology, chemistry and medicinal science behind a new and important area of materials science and engineering: polymer nanocomposites. The tremendous opportunities of polymer nanocomposites in the biomedical field arise from their multitude of applications and their ability to satisfy the vastly different functional requirements for each of these applications. In the biomedical field, a polymer nanocomposite system must meet certain design and functional criteria, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical properties, and, in some cases, aesthetic demands. The content of this book builds on what has been learnt in elementary courses about synthesising polymers, different nanoparticles, polymer composites, biomedical requirements, uses of polymer nanocomposites in medicine as well as medical devices and the major mechanisms involved during each application. The impact of hybrid nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures which are used extensively or show promising outcomes in the biomedical field are also discussed. These novel materials vary from inorganic/ceramic-reinforced nanocomposites for mechanical property improvement to peptide-based nanomaterials, with the chemistry designed to render the entire material biocompatible.
