Drug delivery

W. Mark Saltzman

"The rational design of advanced drug delivery systems requires an understanding of polymer science as well as a quantitative understanding of the principles that govern rates of drug transport, reaction, and disappearance in physiological and pathological situations. Drug Delivery: Engineering Principles for Drug Therapy provides a working foundation in these principles, from the fundamentals of drug modification and diffusion in biological systems to an overview of polymeric biomaterials, and is a complete introduction and guide to this growing field of study. Case studies, overviews of physiological parameters, useful nomenclature and discussion of drug and protein properties all help to round out the text and complete the necessary information needed for further study." "Drug Delivery will be an invaluable reference for those presently working with advanced drug delivery systems...
