Exploring Computational Pharmaceutics: AI and Modeling in Pharma 4.0 (Advances in Pharmaceutical Technology)

Provides an extensive and up-to-date overview of the theory and application of computational pharmaceutics in the drug development process

Exploring Computational Pharmaceutics - AI and Modeling in Pharma 4.0 introduces a variety of current and emerging computational techniques for pharmaceutical research. Bringing together experts from academia, industry, and regulatory agencies, this edited volume also explores the current state, key challenges, and future outlook of computational pharmaceutics while encouraging development across all sectors of the field. Throughout the text, the authors discuss a wide range of essential topics, from molecular modeling and process simulation to intelligent manufacturing and quantitative pharmacology.

Building upon Exploring Computational Pharmaceutics - AI and Modeling in Pharma 4.0, this new edition provides a multi-scale perspective that reveals the physical, chemical, mathematical, and data-driven details of pre-formulation, formulation, process, and clinical studies, in addition to in vivo prediction in the human body and precision medicine in clinical settings. Detailed chapters address both conventional dosage forms and the application of computational technologies in advanced pharmaceutical research, such as dendrimer-based delivery systems, liposome and lipid membrane research, and inorganic nanoparticles.

A major contribution to the development and promotion of computational pharmaceutics, this important resource:

• Discusses the development track, achievements, and prospects of computational pharmaceutics
• Presents multidisciplinary research to help physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and computer scientists locate problems in the field of drug delivery
