The book provides a systematic understanding of various novel drug delivery systems and their preparation, characterization and impressive range of applications. These novel drug delivery systems demand a wide range of detailed knowledge of various drug delivery systems and their composition. Moreover, it is important to understand the properties of the various constituents of a nanoformulation that determine the preparative methods of the delivery systems and broadly ensure their properties. Nanopharmaceutical Advanced Delivery Systems covers a wide range of pharmaceutical topics required to appropriately perform and evaluate the biological and biopharmaceutical impact of nanopharmaceuticals in living systems Nanopharmaceutical Advanced Delivery Systems provides in a single volume detailed descriptions of various delivery systems, their principles and how they are used for the treatment of specific diseases and is divided into four sections. The first section discusses the importance of novel drug delivery systems whereas the second section presents a detailed overview of the most advanced drug delivery systems such as microbubbles, dendrimers, lipid-based nanoparticles, nanofibers, microemulsions, etc. This section describes the major principles and techniques involved in the preparation of drug delivery systems in great detail and provides recently updated coverage of the important principles involved in the underlying science behind these therapeutic delivery systems. In this section, the authors focus on providing complete insight into the novel delivery systems along with their practical applications in the fields of health, medicine and therapeutics. The third section elaborates on the current evocative treatments of diverse diseases like cancer, topical diseases, tuberculosis, etc. The final section of the book provides a concise and informative description of the regulatory aspects of novel drug delivery systems that are followed in various countries Audience This book will be of immense interest and usefulness to biologists, pharmaceutical scientists, polymer chemists, materials scientists, bio and nanotechnologists, as well as those interested in biomaterials, target drug delivery, and controlled drug delivery.
