Novel Platforms for Drug Delivery Applications

Novel Platforms for Drug Delivery covers diverse aspects in the design, synthesis and characterisation of novel drug delivery platforms and devices.

This book comprehensively details the development, application, and performance of various novel molecular frameworks as potent drug delivery vehicles. Chapters cover a range of materials and molecular platforms for drug delivery, from hydrogels, nanocarriers and metal-organic-frameworks, to ?-cyclodextrin and polyphosphazene. Each chapter discusses the benefits and limitations of each drug delivery system, as well as toxicological and safety implications.

Novel Platforms for Drug Delivery offers an interdisciplinary approach to this fast-moving topic, bridging the disciplines of materials science and pharmacology, and would thus provide an up-to-date reference for academics and researchers working in these fields.
