<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Pitched at a level comprehensible to those new to the field, this authoritative text covers the scientific and technological fundamentals of drug delivery as well as clinical applications and the developmental potential in controlled release drug delivery.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Need for Drugs and Drug Delivery Systems.- Overview of Controlled Release Mechanisms.- Hydrophobic Polymers of Pharmaceutical Significance.- Hydrogels.- Biodegradable Polymers in Drug Delivery Systems.- Diffusion Controlled Drug Delivery Systems.- Swelling Controlled Drug Delivery Systems.- Degradable Polymeric Carriers for Parenteral Controlled Drug Delivery Systems.- Porous Systems.- Targeted Delivery Using Biodegradable polymeric Nanoparticles.- Liposomes in Drug Delivery.- Receptor Mediated Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapeutics.- Biological Rhythms, Drug Delivery, and Chronotherapeutics.- Site Specific Controlled Release for Cardiovascular Disease - Translational Direction.- Drug Delivery Systems to Fight Cancer.- Applications of Vaccine Delivery in Infectious Diseases.- Tissue Engineering in Drug Delivery.- The Shaping of Controlled Release Drug Product Development by Emerging Trends in the Commercial, Regulatory and Political Macro-Environment </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>This authoritative book covers the fundamentals relating to the science and technology of drug delivery. The book is written at a level that is understandable to those entering the field and who are not familiar with its common phrases or complex terms. It is a book that provides a simple encapsulation of concepts and expands on them using a building block approach to each subject, starting at a basic level and building to extend the readers knowledge and application of the subject. In each chapter the basic concept is explained as simply and clearly as possible without a great deal of detail, then in subsequent sections additional material is introduced in order to build up the reader's understanding and comprehension of the subject matter.</p><p> </p><p>The book comprises several Parts. The first part covers the fundamentals of drug delivery, the second covers delivery materials, the third deals with delivery systems (both temporal and spatial) and the fourth introduces the reader to some clinical applications of drug delivery. The book ends with a future outlook chapter in which prospects for the field are envisioned.</p><p> </p><p>This book will be indispensible to scientists interested in the science and technology of drug delivery and be essential for those developing delivery systems designed to improve the clinical performance of a drug.</p><p> </p><p><b>Professor Juergen Siepmann</b> is Professor of Pharmaceutics at the College of Pharmacy, Université Lille Nord de France, Lille, France.
