Welcome to the world of Advanced Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics, a field that lies at the intersection of pharmaceutical science, medicine, and technology. This book represents an exploration into the intricate mechanisms governing the fate of drugs in the human body, the evolving landscape of drug delivery systems, and the cutting-edge methodologies shaping the future of pharmacokinetics. In the ever-evolving landscape of pharmaceuticals, the quest for optimizing drug delivery, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing adverse effects has become increasingly complex. This book seeks to unravel these complexities by delving into the advanced principles of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, providing a comprehensive guide for researchers, practitioners, and students in the pharmaceutical sciences. The journey into Advanced Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics begins with a thorough examination of the fundamental concepts that underpin drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. From there, we navigate through the intricacies of drug formulation and delivery systems, exploring the latest innovations in nanomedicine, biosimilars, and targeted drug delivery. Throughout the chapters, we highlight the pivotal role of pharmacokinetics in drug development, emphasizing its importance in optimizing dosage regimens, understanding drug interactions, and individualizing therapies in the era of precision medicine. The integration of advanced technologies, such as systems pharmacology and therapeutic drug monitoring, further enriches the discussion, offering a glimpse into the future of pharmacokinetic research.

Delivers the critical information primary care providers need to be thoroughly informed prescribers This unique resource—an evidence-based pharmacology text and reference for advanced practice students and clinicians—guides users in analyzing the pharmacological foundations of drug therapy and fosters the development of sound clinical judgment in determining the appropriate medication for every patient across the lifespan. Targeting the specific needs of APRN and PA students and clinicians, the text is a “bridge” between standard, lengthy pharmacology texts and quick pocket references that lack information regarding key pharmacotherapy principles. Featuring an applied therapeutic approach to major disorders and their pharmacologic treatment, the book examines how medications act on the body and visa versa, while teaching the rationale for using specific therapeutic agents or drug classes. Each chapter includes case studies that apply the concepts discussed, relevant diagnostic studies, applicable guidelines, genomics, and important lifespan considerations. Of special interest is a chapter on pharmacogenetics explaining the basic principles underlying our current understanding of genetic variations in response to pharmacotherapy and adverse drug reactions. Easily digestible chapters include objectives and review questions. Ancillary resources include an instructor manual with learning objectives, chapter summaries, and case studies; chapter PowerPoint slides; test bank; and image bank. Key Features: Delivers an applied, evidence-based foundation on the basic science underlying prescribing Targets the specific needs of APRN and PA students and professionals and related healthcare providers Provides clinical decision-making tools and principles to support sound prescribing judgment Focuses on synthesizing drugs to manage commonly occurring disorders Includes strategies for addressing the needs of specific populations throughout the lifespan Includes abundant case studies illuminating key concepts Includes a robust instructor manual with learning objectives, chapter summaries, and case studies; PowerPoint slides; test bank; and image bank. Purchase includes access to the eBook for use on most mobile devices or computers.

Provides both fundamentals and new and emerging applications Advanced Drug Delivery brings readers fully up to date with the state of the science, presenting the basics, formulation strategies, and therapeutic applications of advanced drug delivery. The book demonstrates how core concepts of pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, and molecular biology can be combined and applied in order to spark novel ideas to design and develop advanced drug delivery systems for the treatment of a broad range of human diseases. Advanced Drug Delivery features contributions from an international team of pharmaceutical scientists. Chapters reflect a thorough review and analysis of the literature as well as the authors' firsthand experience developing drug delivery systems. The book is divided into four parts: Part I, Introduction and Basics of Advanced Drug Delivery, explores physiological barriers, stability, transporters, and biomaterials in drug delivery Part II, Strategies for Advanced Drug Delivery, offers tested and proven strategies for advanced delivery of both small molecules and macromolecules Part III, Translational Research of Advanced Drug Delivery, focuses on regulatory considerations and translational applications of advanced drug delivery systems for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, ophthalmic diseases, and brain diseases Part IV, Future Applications of Advanced Drug Delivery in Emerging Research Areas, examines stem cell research, cell-based therapeutics, tissue engineering, and molecular imaging Each chapter provides objectives and assessment questions to help readers grasp key concepts and assess their knowledge as they progress through the book. Advanced Drug Delivery is recommended for graduates and upper-level undergraduates in the pharmaceutical sciences who need a solid foundation in the basics. It is also recommended for pharmaceutical professionals who want to take advantage of new and emerging applications in advanced drug delivery systems.

Pharmaceutics is a branch of pharmaceutical science. It is concerned with the process of converting old drugs or a new chemical entity into a new medication which can be used safely by the patients. It is also known as the science of dosage form design, as it deals with the conversion of a pure drug substance into a dosage form. Pharmaceutical formulation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, physical pharmacy, dispensing pharmacy, pharmaceutical technology and pharmaceutical jurisprudence are some of the branches of pharmaceutics. Pharmaceutical formulation is a process in which several chemical substances, including the active drug, are combined together for producing a final medicinal product. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to pharmaceutics. It studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of pharmaceutics and its utmost significance in modern times. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
