Description:
Topical Dermal Drug Delivery: Concepts and Advances compiles, in a single volume, the most recent advances in topical and dermal formulations for the treatment of skin disorders.
The book covers three major concepts. The skin anatomy and physiology part includes chapters focused on relevant information for drug delivery. The second part of the book deals with several recent topical dermal drug delivery systems, including computational methods, permeation enhancers, bio precursors, hydrogels, emugels, exosomes and several nanotechnology enabled systems. The third and final part covers scaling up, toxicity, clinical trials, and regulatory considerations. This is a complete reference for academic and corporate pharma researchers investigating targeted drug delivery to the skin. Medical & Health Sciences researchers would also benefit from understanding the delivery systems covered in this book.Brief description: Dr. Tathagata Dutta has earned his M.Pharm and PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Dr. Hari Singh Gour University, Sagar and completed his postdoctoral studies from School of Pharmacy & Diamantina Institute for cancer, Immunology and Metabolic Medicine, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia and was engaged in development of RNAi therapeutics for effective management of cancer.
