The book An Introduction to Drug Carriers provides a broad overview
of drug carriers. Drug carriers play medically important roles in
delivering drugs to pinpointed regions in biological systems. The
cell hosts most of the disorders related to diseases. Therefore,
the cell is also considered the main target region for most drugs.
Some of the cellular compartments, especially cell-based membranes,
which are geometrically constructed with both hydrophobic and
hydrophilic layers/boundaries, often appear as barriers against
vital candidate drugs' journey to the target regions. Besides,
there are off-target structures that need to be avoided for drugs
to get adsorbed. Otherwise, drugs may cause unbearable off-target
binding originated toxicity, which would reduce the efficacy of the
drugs. Appropriate choice of drug carriers may help specific drugs
to get conjugated and be delivered to their optimal target
structures. Biophysical and biochemical characterization of drug
carriers concerning their role as vehicles to carry certain drugs
may be obtained using engineering techniques. Manipulation in the
cellular sites that cause disturbances in drug delivery is another
biomedical option utilized to ensure smooth drug delivery. Various
theoretical and experimental techniques are utilized to address all
these issues related to drug carriers. The collected chapters
written by experts in the field will help the subject matter be
understood thoroughly.
