Role of Lipid Excipients in Modifying Oral and Parenteral Drug Delivery: Basic Principles and Biological Examples

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 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 excipientsFormulation issues around lipid–based oral and parenteral delivery systemsBiological implications of lipid–based parenteral drug delivery systemsPrinciples in the development of intravenous lipid emulsionsProtein adsorption patterns on parenteral lipid formulations—a key factor determining the in vivo fateNanoparticle targeting for drug delivery across the blood–brain barrierLipid–coated perfluorocarbon nanostructures as parenteral therapeutic agents
