Colloidal carriers (particles, emulsions) for intravenous administration are a promising approach to achieve controlled release and site-specific delivery of drugs. The success of the systems will depend on their
ability to maintain in blood circulation (controlled release system) or to reach target cells (e.g., bone marrow,
blood cells). It is well known that the surface properties of i.v.
injected particles are important factors determining the organ distribution and fate in vivo. Controlled surface modification could therefore be used to direct the carriers to the desired tissues. This book deals with the physico-chemical characterization of colloidal drug delivery systems and the…
This particular text covers the development and characterization of colloidal systems for drug delivery. Research on colloidal delivery systems is getting very popular for small molecular drugs as…
