This book discusses approaches based on multifunctional and targeted theranostic nanomedicines for improving diagnosis and drug delivery. It explores nanomedicines based on nanocarriers like liposomes, ethosomes, niosomes, polymeric nanoparticles, lipidic nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers, quantum dots, carbon-based nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, carbon quantum dots, graphene oxide, and fullerene. This book reviews designing, conjugation, optimization, formulation and development, and scale-up of multifunctional and targeted theranostic nanomedicines. It examines major challenges in developing nanomaterials that can be applied to nanomedicine with high biocompatibility and biodegradability for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Lastly, it addresses the most promising approaches at both commercialization and regulatory steps for bringing theranostic nanomedicine from research laboratories to clinics for patient use.
Dendrimers, hyperbranched macromolecules, emerged just few decades ago but show promising potential as drug delivery nanocarriers, theranostic agents and gene vectors; in the pharmaceutical research and innovation area as well as in other healthcare applications. Although tremendous advancements have been made in dendrimer chemistry and their applications since their emergence, the synthesis, development and design of pure and safe dendrimer-based products have been a major challenge in this area. This book, edited by well-known researchers in the area of nanomaterials and drug-based drug delivery applications, exhaustively covers the nanotechnological aspects, concepts, properties, characterisation, application, biofate and regulatory aspects of dendrimers. It includes sixteen vivid chapters by renowned formulators, researchers and academicians from all over the world, highlighting their specialised areas of interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and nanomedicine. Features: * Highlights dendrimers' advancements in nanomedicine in the development of safe healthcare and biotechnological products * Covers physicochemical aspects, biofate, drug delivery aspects and gene therapy using dendrimers * Covers biomedical application of dendrimers in the field of biological sciences * Gives examples of dendrimer-guest interaction chemistry Dendrimers in Nanomedicine: Concept, Theory and Regulatory Perspectives provides the comprehensive overview of the latest research efforts in designing, optimising, development and scale-up of dendrimer-mediated delivery systems. It analyses the key challenges of synthesis, design, molecular modelling, fundamental concepts, drug delivery aspects, analytical tools and biological fate as well as regulatory consideration to the practical use of dendrimer application.
