À propos de cet e-book
Edited by a leading expert in the field, Characterization of Pharmaceutical Nano- and Microsystems provides a complete description of the analytical techniques used to characterize particulate drug systems on the micro- and nanoscale.
The book offers readers a full understanding of the basic physicochemical characteristics, material properties and differences between micro- and nanosystems. It explains how and why greater experience and more reliable measurement techniques are required as particle size shrinks, and the measured phenomena grow weaker.
Characterization of Pharmaceutical Nano- and Microsystems deals with a wide variety of topics relevant to chemical and solid-state analysis of drug delivery systems, including drug release, permeation, cell interaction, and safety. It is a complete resource for those interested in the development and manufacture of new medicines, the drug development process, and the translation of those drugs into life-enriching and lifesaving medicines.
Characterization of Pharmaceutical Nano- and Microsystems covers all of the following topics:
- An introduction to the analytical tools applied to determine particle size, morphology, and shape
- Common chemical approaches to drug system characterization
- A description of solid-state characterization of drug systems
- Drug release and permeation studies
- Toxicity and safety issues
- The interaction of drug particles with cells
