Supercritical Fluid Technology for Drug Product Development (Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences) (Vol 138)

Proprietary pharmaceutical product development is driven by continuous innovations in drug discovery, drug polymorph preparation, dosage form design, and process engineering, while meeting rigorous regulatory standards. Innovations in all these areas are feasible with the application of technologies utilizing supercritical fluids (SCFs). This book is divided into three complimentary sections. Part I provides the fundamentals of supercritical fluid technology. Part II is dedicated to drug delivery applications. Part III of this book presents various important developments that will either directly or indirectly impact the development of pharmaceutical products.

interconnecting The Fundamentals Of Supercritical Fluid (scf) Technologies, Their Current And Anticipated Utility In Drug Delivery, And Process Engineering Advances From Related Methodological Domains And Pharmaceutical Applications, This Volume Unlocks The Potential Of Supercritical Fluids To Further The Development Of Improved Pharmaceutical Products-from Drug Powders For Respiratory Delivery To Drug Delivery Systems For Controlled Release.

Primarily intended for pharmaceutical scientists and graduate students, this collection brings together the fundamentals, process engineering, and pharmaceutical applications of supercritical fluid technologies. The 15 chapters describe the preparation of particulate drug and drug delivery systems a
