About this title

Synopsis

Nanomedicines and nanopharmacology is a rapidly developing and evolving field with new techniques and applications under constant development. This book will provide an overview of the chemistry of nanocarrier design and the considerations that need to be made when developing a nanomedicine. Providing an understanding of the relationship of nanocarrier, drug and targetting moieties and physico-chemical properties, this title will provide an accurate and current representation of the field by addressing the promises, prospects and pitfalls of nanomedicine. Covering a wide range of areas in detail, this book will provide an excellent companion for medicinal chemists, pharmacologists and biochemists working in industry or academia.

From the Back Cover

Nanomedicine is a rapidly developing field with new techniques and applications under constant development. This book provides an overview of the chemistry of nanocarrier design and the considerations that need to be made when developing a nanomedicine.

Chapters written by experts in the field address promises, prospects, and pitfalls of nanopharmacology illustrated with case studies on nanomedicines in, or about to enter, human clinical trials. Methods for drug deployment and targeting, barrier penetration, imaging and theranostics development are covered in detail. Readers will find answers to formulation, safety and regulatory considerations as well as a current representation of nanotechnology from a drug development perspective.

Covering a wide range of areas in detail, this book will provide an excellent companion for medicinal chemists, pharmacologists and biochemists working in industry or academia.
