Practical drug development approaches presented by leading
experts
Designed to support the development of new, effective
therapeutics, Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery: Principles
and Practice explains the principles underlying the field and
then demonstrates how these principles are put into practice in the
design and development of new drug products. Drawing together and
reviewing the latest research findings, the book focuses on
practical, tested, and proven approaches that are backed by
industry case studies and the authors’ firsthand experience.
Moreover, the book emphasizes the mechanistic information that is
essential for successful drug product development.
Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery: Principles and
Practice is divided into two parts:
* Part One, Current Science, Skin Permeation, and
Enhancement Approaches, offers readers a fundamental understanding
of the underlying science in the field. It describes the principles
and techniques needed to successfully perform experimental
approaches, covering such issues as skin permeation, enhancement,
and assessment.
* Part Two, Topical and Transdermal Product Development,
guides readers through the complete product development process
from concept to approval, offering practical tips and cautions from
experts in the field. This part also discusses regulations that are
specific to the development of dermal drug products. The final
chapter explores current and future trends, forecasting new
development techniques and therapeutics.
Throughout the book, the authors clearly set forth the basic
science and experimental procedures, making it possible for
researchers to design their own experimental approaches and
accurately interpret their results.
With contributions from experienced drug researchers, this text
is highly recommended for all researchers involved in topical and
transdermal product development who need to know both the state of
the science and the standards of practice.
