Proteins are exposed to various interfacial stresses during drug
product development. They are subjected to air-liquid,
liquid-solid, and, sometimes, liquid-liquid interfaces throughout
the development cycle-from manufacturing of drug substances to
storage and drug delivery. Unlike small molecule drugs, proteins
are typically unstable at interfaces where, on adsorption, they
often denature and form aggregates, resulting in loss of efficacy
and potential immunogenicity. This book covers both the fundamental
aspects of proteins at interfaces and the quantification of
interfacial behaviors of proteins. Importantly, this book
introduces the industrial aspects of protein instabilities at
interfaces, including the processes that introduce new interfaces,
evaluation of interfacial instabilities, and mitigation strategies.
The audience that this book targets encompasses scientists in the
pharmaceutical and biotech industry, as well as faculty and
students from academia in the surface science, pharmaceutical, and
medicinal chemistry areas.
This book provides a list of concise extemporaneous ophthalmic
preparations, and standardizes the formulation of the products by
suggesting specific strength, route of administration, appropriate
vehicle, and method of preparation. Pharmaceutical industries have
greatly expanded their share of ophthalmic drugs in recent years.
However, physicians and pharmacists are frequently called to
prepare sterile products intended for ophthalmic use due to lack of
availability of licensed drugs in the market. This book contains
the most appropriate formulation of each medication based on
published and documented stability data. Extemporaneous Ophthalmic
Preparations is the first book of its kind, making it a unique and
valuable companion for many physicians and pharmacy practitioners
who are frequently engaged in the compounding of sterile ophthalmic
preparation.
Honey typically has a complex chemical and biochemical composition
that invariably includes complex sugars, specific proteins, amino
acids, phenols, vitamins, and rare minerals. It is reported to be
beneficial in the treatment of various diseases, such as those
affecting the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and
nervous systems, as well as diabetes mellitus and certain types of
cancers; however, there is limited literature describing the use of
honey in modern medicine. This book provides evidence-based
information on the pharmaceutical potential of honey along with its
therapeutic applications and precise mechanisms of action. It
discusses in detail the phytochemistry and pharmacological
properties of honey, highlighting the economic and culturally
significant medicinal uses of honey and comprehensively reviewing
the scientific research on the traditional uses, chemical
composition, scientific validation, and general pharmacognostical
characteristics. Given its scope, it is a valuable tool for
researchers and scientists interested in drug discovery and the
chemistry and pharmacology of honey.

This book highlights recently discovered aspects of "middle-size
molecules," focusing on (1) their unique bio-functions on the basis
of derivatives and conjugates of natural products, saccharides,
peptides, and nucleotides; (2) the synthesis of structurally
complex natural products; (3) special synthetic methods for
-conjugated functional molecules; and (4) novel synthetic methods
using flow chemistry. Given its scope, the book is of interest to
industrial researchers and graduate students in the fields of
organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science.
The biotechnology/biopharmaceutical sector has tremendously grown
which led to the invention of engineered antibodies such as
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), Bispecific T-cell engager (BITES),
Dual Variable Domain (DVD) antibodies, and fusion proteins that are
currently being used as therapeutic agents for immunology, oncology
and other disease conditions. Regulatory agencies have raised the
bar for the development and manufacture of antibody-based products,
expecting to see the use of Quality by Design (QbD) elements
demonstrating an in-depth understanding of product and process
based on sound science. Drug delivery systems have become an
increasingly important part of the therapy and most
biopharmaceuticals for self-administration are being marketed as
combination products. A survey of the market indicates that there
is a strong need for a new book that will provide "one stop
shopping" for the latest information and knowledge of the
scientific and engineering advances made over the last few years in
the area of biopharmaceutical product development. The new book
entitled Development of Biopharmaceutical Drug Device Products is a
reference text for scientists and engineers in the
biopharmaceutical industry, academia or regulatory agencies. With
insightful chapters from experts in the field, this new book
reviews first principles, covers recent technological advancements
and provides case studies and regulatory strategies relating to the
development and manufacture of antibody-based products. It covers
topics such as the importance of early preformulation studies
during drug discovery to influence molecular selection for
development, formulation strategies for new modalities, and the
analytical techniques used to characterize them. It also addresses
important considerations for later stage development such as the
development of robust formulations and processes, including process
engineering and modeling of manufacturing unit operations, the
design of analytical comparability studies, and characterization of
primary containers (pre-filled syringes and vials).Finally, the
latter half of the book reviews key considerations to ensure the
development and approval of a patient-centered delivery system
design. This involves the evolving regulatory framework with
perspectives from both the US and EU industry experts, the role of
international standards, design control/risk management, human
factors and its importance in the product development and
regulatory approval process, as well as review of the risk-based
approach to bridging between devices used in clinical trials and
the to-be-marketed device. Finally, case studies are provided
throughout.The typical readership would have biology and/or
engineering degrees and would include researchers, scientific
leaders, industry specialists and technology developers working in
the biopharmaceutical field.
