Oil-in-Water Nanosized Emulsions for Drug Delivery and Targeting

This book combines emulsion knowledge into a single, comprehensive volume, ideal for professionals and students involved in the areas of pharmaceutical science who are looking to learn about this emergent research concept. Compiles the step-by-step investigations made concerning the potential of nanosized emulsions on both drug delivery and drug targeting areas by different group of scientists in various laboratories across the world Inverts the common nano-emulsions coverage trend of focusing on focused on the particulate system itself, instead exploring the way to turn nanosized emulsions as biomedical tool, as well as, treating the in vitro and in vivo aspects after administration Provides an overview of the current state-of-the art regarding the development of tocol emulsions, emulsion adjuvants in immunization research, oxygen-carrying emulsions (called as fluorocarbon emulsion) and emulsions for delivering drugs to nasal and topical (ocular and transdermal) routes "Among the different nanoparticulate systems that have been proposed for drug delivery and drug targeting purposes, oil-in-water nanosized emulsions having either positive (cationic) or negative (anionic) charges are being emerged as successful systems to manufacture through?not only in a laboratory level, but also on an industrial scale. This book combines knowledge on emulsion, microemulsion, and nanoemulsion into one comprehensive volume, making it an ideal resource for researchers, professionals, and students. It provides an overview of the emulsion preparation methods and characterization techniques via different sophisticated analytical instruments, and it covers clinical implications through various case studies/examples. Regulatory view on nanosized emulsions are discussed comprehensively in this book"-- Provided by publisher
