Modern Pharmaceutics 1

With over 100 illustrations, Volume 1 addresses the core disciplines of pharmaceutics (absorption, PK, excipients, tablet dosage forms, and packaging), and explores the challenges and paradigms of pharmaceutics. Key topics in Volume 1 include: • principles of drug absorption, chemical kinetics, and drug stability • pharmacokinetics • the effect of route of administration and distribution on drug action • in vivo imaging of dose forms: gamma scintigraphy, PET imaging NMR, MRI, etc. • powder technology • excipient design and characterization • preformulation • optimization techniques in pharmaceutical formulation and processing • disperse and surfactant systems • the solid state, tablet dosage forms, coating processes, and hard and soft shell capsules • parenteral products

"Completely revised and expanded throughout. Presents a comprehensive integrated, sequenced approach to drug dosage formulation, design, and evaluation. Indentifies the pharmacodynamic and physicochemical factors influencing drug action through various routes of administration."

This new edition brings you up-to-date on the role of pharmaceutics and its future paradigms in the design of medicines. Contributions from over 30 international thought leaders cover the core disciplines of pharmaceutics and the impact of biotechnology, gene therapy, and cell therapy on current findings. Modern Pharmaceutics helps you stay current with the basic sciences, systems, applications, and advances in drug development—from materials used in formulations and dosage form design and manufacture, to testing in clinical trials. Improve research and development strategies with brand new content on: • methods of in vivo imaging of dosage forms • excipients, tablets, and aerosols—from physical chemistry to dosage form • solid state drug delivery • biotechnology-based pharmaceuticals • modern evaluation techniques for medicinal products • pharmaceutical nanotechnology • pharmaceutical physics • pediatric and geriatric medication • routes of administration • paradigms in pharmaceutical research
