Strategies to Modify the Drug Release from Pharmaceutical Systems

Strategies to Modify the Drug Release from Pharmaceutical Systems

by Marcos Luciano Bruschi PhD 

Strategies to Modify the Drug Release from Pharmaceutical Systems, Second Edition serves as an essential reference for modern approaches to achieving precise therapeutic dosing and timing. This updated edition presents strategies, mathematical models, administration routes, and technologies in a clear, objective manner.

Spanning six chapters, the book covers general concepts of drug release modification and the classification of therapeutic systems, including passive versus active targeting. It explores mechanisms for controlling drug release, materials and technologies used, and introduces mathematical and physicochemical models.

New and emerging drug delivery systems are also reviewed, including 3D-printed systems, nose-to-brain delivery, environmentally responsive systems, and innovative lipid-based carriers.

This comprehensive guide is indispensable for pharmaceutical scientists, graduate students, materials scientists, and chemists.
