Nanoscience or the science of the very small offers the
pharmaceutical scientist a wealth of opportunities. By fabricating
at the nanoscale, it is possible to exert unprecedented control on
drug activity. This textbook will showcase a variety of nanosystems
working from their design and construction to their application in
the field of drug delivery. The book is intended for graduate
students in drug delivery, physical and polymer chemistry, and
applied pharmaceutical sciences courses that involve fundamental
nanoscience. The purpose of the text is to present physicochemical
and biomedical properties of synthetic polymers with an emphasis on
their application in polymer therapeutics i.e., pharmaceutical
nanosystems, drug delivery and biological performance. There are
two main objectives of this text. The first is to provide advanced
graduate students with knowledge of the principles of nanosystems
and polymer science including synthesis, structure, and
characterization of solution and solid state properties. The second
is to describe the fundamentals of therapeutic applications of
polymers in drug delivery, targeting, response modifiers as well as
regulatory issues. The courses, often listed as Advanced Drug
Delivery and Applied Pharmaceutics; Polymer Therapeutics; or
Nanomedicine, are designed as an overview of the field specifically
for graduate students in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Graduate Programs. However, the course content may also be of
interest for graduate students in related biomedical research
programs. These courses generally include a discussion of the major
principles of polymer science and fundamental concepts of
application of polymers as modern therapeutics. All courses are
moving away from the above mentioned course names and going by
'pharmaceutical nanoscience or nanosystems'. This area of research
and technology development has attracted tremendous attention
during the last two decades and it is expected that it will
continue to grow in importance. However, the area is just emerging
and courses are limited but they are offered.
