Opis

One way to improve drug availability is by delivering the drug in a targeted manner, minimizing toxicity from high doses and the resulting inflammatory response. Targeted delivery aims to precisely administer an adequate drug dose to the diseased or injured area. A key factor in an efficient targeted drug delivery system is selecting an appropriate delivery profile, which is a plot of drug concentration released over time. This profile depends on the drug type, the carrier, and physiological factors at the target site. This book provides valuable information for scientists, professors, and students on this topic. It includes four chapters: Chapter I discusses drug nanoparticles and nanocarriers, Chapter II examines the characteristics of drugs used in cancer, Chapter III focuses on drugs for breast and stomach cancer, and Chapter IV explores drugs for colon and breast cancers. The book concludes with a comprehensive reference section.
