Completely revised and updated, this fourth edition elucidates the principles of pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, dosage form design, and drug delivery – including emerging new biotechnology-based treatment modalities. The authors integrate aspects of physical pharmacy, chemistry, biology, and biopharmaceutics into drug delivery. With the expiration of older patents and generic competition, the biopharmaceutical industry is evolving faster than ever. Consequently, this edition of the book emphasizes the heightened focus that the recent remarkable progress in gene editing, immunotherapy, and nanotechnology has brought to the design of new drugs and diagnostic approaches along with novel dosage forms. Apart from new chapters, this edition highlights the emerging emphasis on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery, mRNA and antibody-based therapies, genome editing, immunotherapy, chemical kinetics, and the stability of drug products. Features: · Includes new chapters on antibody therapeutics, gene editing, and immunotherapy. · Explains newer approaches and future methods and the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery. · Updated sections on pharmacy mathematics, chemical kinetics, and the stability of medicinal products. · Important updates on parenteral drug products, protein and peptide treatments, and biotechnology-based pharmaceuticals to provide a contemporary perspective on drug development, delivery, and pharmaceutical sciences. · Expansion of review questions and answers to clarify concepts for students and add to their grasp of key concepts covered in this book. Although there are numerous books on pharmaceutics and dosage forms, most cover different areas of the discipline and do not provide an integrated approach. The integrated approach of this book not only provides a singular perspective of the overall field, but also supplies a unified source of information for students, instructors, and professionals, saving their time and money. •
In the second edition of Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery the authors integrate aspects of physical pharmacy, biopharmaceuticals, drug delivery, and biotechnology, emphasizing the increased attention that the recent spectacular advances in dosage form design and drug delivery, gene therapy, and nanotechnology have brought to the field. Highlights of the Second Edition: Additional author Ajit S. Narang brings an industrial practitioner perspective with increased focus on pharmacy math and statistics, and powders and granules Reorganized into three parts: Introduction, Physicochemical Principles, and Dosage Forms Chapters on pharmaceutical calculations, compounding principles, and powders and granules provide a complete spectrum of application of pharmaceutical principles Expansion of review questions and answers clarifies concepts for students and adds to their grasp of key concepts covered in the chapter Coverage of complexation and protein binding aspects of physical pharmacy includes the basic concepts as well as recent progress in the field Although there are numerous books on the science of pharmaceutics and dosage form design, most cover different areas of the discipline and do not provide an integrated approach to the topics. This book not only provides a singular perspective of the overall field, but it supplies a unified source of information for students, instructors, and professionals.
