OverviewAn indispensable tool for those working at the front lines of new drug developmentWritten for busy professionals at the forefront of new drug development, Drug Delivery gets readers quickly up to speed on both the principles and latest applications in the increasingly important field of drug delivery.Recent developments in such areas as combinatorial chemistry, proteomics, and genomics have revolutionized researchers' ability to rapidly identify and synthesize new pharmacological compounds. However, delivery-related properties remain a significant reason for clinical trial failures.Bringing together contributions by leading international experts, Drug Delivery covers the entire field in a systematic but concise way. It begins with an in-depth review of key fundamentals, such as physiochemical and biological barriers; drug delivery pathways; metabolism; drug formulation; pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic issues; and more. The remainder of the book is devoted to the systematic examination-including overviews, timely examples, and extensive references-of a host of specific subjects, including: * Receptor-mediated drug delivery* Prodrug delivery approaches* Oral protein and peptide drug delivery* Gene therapy and gene delivery* Ultrasound-mediated drug delivery* Polycationic peptides and proteins in drug delivery* Pulmonary drug delivery* Antibody-directed drug delivery* Efflux transporters in drug excretion* Intellectual property issues in drug delivery Full Product DetailsAuthor: Binghe Wang (Georgia State University, Atlanta) , Teruna J Siahaan (University of Kansas) , Richard A Soltero (PharmaDirections, Inc.)Publisher: Wiley-Interscience Imprint: Wiley-Interscience ISBN: 9781280275449ISBN 10: 1280275448 Pages: 448 Publication Date: 01 January 2005 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Electronic book text Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
