Drug Delivery


Free Download Maria A. Popescu, "Drug Delivery "
English | ISBN: 1613245386 | 2011 | 222 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In drug delivery, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is delivered to the patient through different methods and shapes which are called pharmaceutical dosage forms. Each API has specific physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties which require a suitable pharmaceutical dosage form to be delivered to the body. In this book, the authors present current research from across the globe in the study of drug delivery. Topics discussed include pharmaceutical dosage forms; drug delivery through multifunctional polymeric nanoparticles; targeted liposomal based chemotherapies; the stability of drug delivery PLGA nanoparticles; and, the influence of particle physicochemical properties on delivery of drugs by dry powder inhalers to the lung.

Optimization of Aerosol Drug Delivery


Free Download Optimization of Aerosol Drug Delivery By Ola Nerbrink (auth.), Leon Gradoń, Jan Marijnissen (eds.)
2003 | 315 Pages | ISBN: 9048164362 | PDF | 21 MB
Aerosol therapy has significantly improved the treatment of a variety of respiratory diseases. Besides the treatment of respiratory diseases there is currently also a great interest to use the lungs as a portal to introduce drugs for systemic therapy. The success of therapy with the application of aerosolized medicaments depends on the possibility to deliver the proper amount of drug to the appropriate sites in the respiratory system, thus limiting the side effects to a minimum. Aerosolized delivery of drugs to the lung is optimized if, for a given chemical composition of a medicine, the target of deposition and the required mass of drug to be deposited are precisely defined. The next step is the specification of the number of respirable particles or droplets, to be generated by appropriate devices. Another very important factor for successful aerosol therapy is the condition of the patient coupled with his or her inhalation technique.
