Description
This book focuses on the formulation and delivery of dendrimers. It offers both a comprehensive introduction and reference to practical applications. The coverage encompasses dendritic drug delivery systems ranging from dendrimers chemistry to cellular uptake of dendritic nanoparticles. With the specific application of dendrimers in drug and biologic delivery, the text highlights their versatility in solving development issues in a wide class of drugs. Discussing all the unique opportunities, issues, and challenges involved in exploiting dendrimers for improving drug delivery, this book helps pharmaceutical and related scientists understand and work with this drug carrier.
Reviews / Votes
"This book should be particularly valuable for everyone working in the dendrimer area, but also for researchers in drug delivery and pharmaceutical sciences more generally. To my mind, it is clearly a book to have on your shelf!." (ChemMedChem, 1 March 2013)More details
