Drug Delivery: Basic Principles and Biological Examples to their offering. The principles and formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems With its promise for improving drug absorption, the emerging field of lipid-based drug delivery systems has attracted considerable attention from academia to industry. Filling the need for a standard text on the subject, this book assembles a group of experienced investigators and educators from the front line of pharmaceutical sciences to provide a comprehensive resource on the fundamentals, formulation, and biopharmaceutical issues of lipid-based drug delivery. Presenting a solid grounding in the fundamental principles of lipid absorption in the intestines and vascular body systems, the text gives readers in-depth insight into the formulation issues, such as dissolution testing Dissolution testing is a critical formulation tool in the process of drug discovery that entails measuring the stability of the investigational product, achieving uniformity in production lots and determining its in vivo availability. and stability testing, and physiological and biopharmaceutical issues, including the role of specific enzymes, the evaluation of transport systems in the body, and the mechanisms governing the transport of water-insoluble drugs. Chapters cover: * Interaction of drug transporters with excipients * Formulation issues around lipid-based oral and parenteral delivery systems * Biological implications of lipid-based parenteral drug delivery systems * Principles in the development of intravenous lipid emulsions * Protein adsorption adsorption, adhesion of the molecules of liquids, gases, and dissolved substances to the surfaces of solids, as opposed to absorption, in which the molecules actually enter the absorbing medium (see adhesion and cohesion). patterns on parenteral lipid formulations--a key factor determining the in vivo in vivo /in vi·vo/ (ve´vo) [L.] within the living body. in vi·vo adj. Within a living organism. in vivo adv. fate * Nanoparticle targeting for drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier blood-brain barrier n. Abbr.
