Applications of Polymers in Drug Delivery, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to understand how polymeric materials can be applied to current, new, and emerging drug delivery applications.

Polymers play a crucial role in modulating drug delivery and have been fundamental in the successful development of many novel drug delivery systems. This book describes the development of polymeric systems, ranging from conventional dosage forms to the most recent smart systems. Regulatory and intellectual property aspects as well as the clinical applicability of polymeric drug delivery systems are also discussed. The chapters are organized by specific delivery route, offering methodical and detailed coverage throughout. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to include the latest developments in the field.

This is an essential book for researchers, scientists, and advanced students, in polymer science, drug delivery, pharmacology/pharmaceuticals, materials science, tissue engineering, nanomedicine, chemistry, and biology. In industry, this book supports scientists, R&D, and other professionals, working on polymers for drug delivery applications.

A Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Delivery explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in drug delivery strategies. The book covers pharmaceutical AI and drug discovery challenges, Artificial Intelligence tools for drug research, AI enabled intelligent drug delivery systems and next generation novel therapeutics, broad utility of AI for designing novel micro/nanosystems for drug delivery, AI driven personalized medicine and Gene therapy, 3D Organ printing and tissue engineering, Advanced nanosystems based on AI principles (nanorobots, nanomachines), opportunities and challenges using artificial intelligence in ADME/Tox in drug development, commercialization and regulatory perspectives, ethics in AI, and more.

This book will be useful to academic and industrial researchers interested in drug delivery, chemical biology, computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry and bioinformatics. The massive time and costs investments in drug research and development necessitate application of more innovative techniques and smart strategies.

Polymers for Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications: Fundamentals, Selection, and Preparation supports the successful selection, design, and development of polymers with the required properties and performance for a range of advanced pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The book begins by introducing polymers for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, examining classification, basic properties, structures, and grades. This is followed by in-depth chapters on synthesis and modification, characterization techniques, and dissolution and solubility of polymers for pharmaceutical applications. Key applications are highlighted, with chapters explaining the preparation of polymers for conventional dosage, modified drug delivery, conjugates, advanced drug and gene delivery, medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, and more. Throughout the book, the aim is to provide accessible, step-by-step coverage supported by diagrams and case studies. This is a valuable resource for all those who are newly approaching the field of polymers and product development for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This includes researchers and advanced students across polymer science, pharmaceutical science, biomaterials, biomedicine, healthcare, and chemistry, and scientists and R&D professionals in an industrial setting.

The commercial production of nanomedicines involves challenges related to scalability, reproducibility, safety, and regulatory approvals. It is essential to have access to a preparation method that can produce large quantities of nanomedicines in a scalable way while maintaining a consistently high level of quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. This book provides comprehensive guidance on the commercial-scale production of nanotechnology-based products, facilities requirements, and quality assurance.

This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers in pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical technology, drug delivery, drug targeting, and biomedical engineering.

It also supports industrial personnel working in nanomedicine manufacturing with the latest updates and those seeking to switch or extend their current product range to nanomedicines or start a new venture in nanomedicine production.

The application of drug delivery is a valuable, cost-effective lifecycle management resource. By endowing drugs with new and innovative therapeutic benefits, drug delivery systems extend products’ profitable lifecycle, giving pharmaceutical companies competitive and financial advantages, and providing patients with improved medications. Formulation development is now being used to create new dosage forms for existing products, which not only reduces the time and expense involved in new drug development, but also helps with regard to patent protection and bypassing existing patents. Today’s culture demands convenience, a major factor determining adherence to drug therapy. Over the past few years, patient convenience-oriented research in the field of drug delivery has yielded a range of innovative drug-delivery options. As a result, various drug-delivery systems, including medicated chewing gums, oral dispersible tablets, medicated lozenges and lollipops, have now hit the marketand are very popular. These dosage forms offer a highly convenient way to dose medications, not only for special population groups with swallowing difficulties, such as children and the elderly, but for the general populace as well. This book provides valuable insights into a number of formulation design approaches that are currently being used, or could be used, to provide new benefits from existing drug molecules.
