The opportunities and challenges of using dendrimers to improvedrug delivery
Among pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers, the use ofdendrimers in drug delivery systems has attracted increasinginterest. In particular, researchers have noted that the volume ofa dendrimer increases when it has a positive charge. If thisproperty can be applied effectively, dendrimers have enormouspotential in drug delivery systems, directly supplying medicationto targeted human organs.
With contributions from an international team of pioneers andexperts in dendrimer research, this book provides a comprehensiveoverview of the latest research efforts in designing and optimizingdendrimer-based drug delivery systems. The book analyzes keyissues, demonstrating the critical connections that linkfundamental concepts, design, synthesis, analytical methodology,and biological assessment to the practical use of dendrimers indrug delivery applications. Topics covered include:
* Dendrimer history
* Synthesis
* Physicochemical properties
* Principles of drug delivery
* Applications in diverse biomedical fields
Dendrimer-Based Drug Delivery Systems reflects theauthors' thorough review and analysis of the current literature aswell as their own firsthand experience in the lab. Readers will notonly discover the current state of the science, but also gainvaluable insights into fruitful directions for future research.References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to thegrowing body of literature in the field, enabling readers toexplore each individual topic in greater depth.
Pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers will find this book aunique and essential guide to the opportunities, issues, andchallenges involved in fully exploiting the potential of dendrimersto improve drug delivery.
