and the handling and disposal of chemicals at both the laboratory
and industrial level. The book serves as a practical guide for
laboratory workers and offers prudent guidelines for the
development of regulatory policy for academic and non-academic
organizations. The book stresses that all accidental injuries can

Organ-specific drug delivery is aimed at achieving increased
concentration of therapeutic molecules at target sites with minimum
side effects on other healthy tissues. Similarly, drug-specific
delivery to some vital organs, such as the brain, lungs, heart and
kidneys remains a challenging task for the formulation scientists.
Oral delivery of most of the commercially available life-saving
drugs has also been impeded by various physio-chemical and
biological barriers. These advancements in nanotechnology have led
to the development of various pharmaceutical nanocarriers.
Nanocarriers for Organ-Specific and Localized Drug Delivery
summarizes targeted drug delivery systems and approaches to the
major organs of the body. The book shows how drugs can be
specifically targeted to the pathological area within an organ in a
viable way. Employing pharmaceutical nanocarriers for drug delivery
targeted to specific organs of the body requires a comprehensive
knowledge of the disease site's pathophysiology as well as
physical, chemical and pharmaceutical techniques for modification
or functionalization of the nanocarriers. Combining theoretical
principles and practical applications of various nanocarriers for
organ-specific drug delivery, this is an important reference source
for all those seeking to increase their understanding of how
pharmaceutical nanocarriers are being used to create more efficient
drug delivery systems.

Nanocarriers for Cancer Diagnosis and Targeted Chemotherapy reviews
the principles and applications of nanocarriers for targeted drug
delivery. Drug targeting involves active and passive strategies
that exploit both the use of ligands for interactions and the
physical and chemical properties of nanocarriers and
micro-environments at target sites. Multidrug resistance and
adverse side effects associated with anticancer drugs have
attracted greater scientific attention and led formulation
scientists to specifically target these drugs to target sites.
Nanocarriers like liposomes, niosomes, gold nanorods, carbon
nanotubes, and micelles are discussed for the delivery of drugs to
specific disease sites. This is an important reference source for
researchers in the biomedical and biomaterials fields who want to
gain an understanding on how nanotechnology is used for earlier
diagnoses and more effective cancer treatment.

the present state of widely used lipid-based nanoparticulate
delivery systems, such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN),
nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), nanoliposomes, micelles,
nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions and lipid nanotubes. The various
types of lipids that can be exploited for drug delivery and their
chemical composition and physicochemical characteristics are
reviewed in detail, along with their characterization aspects and
effects of their dimensions on drug delivery systems behavior
in-vitro and in-vivo. The book covers the effective utilization of
these lipids based systems for controlled and targeted delivery of
potential drugs/genes for enhanced clinical efficacy.
Metal Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery and Diagnostic Applications
addresses the lifecycle of metal nanoparticles, from synthesis and
characterization, to applications in drug delivery and targeting.
It is an important resource for those in biomaterials, nanomedicine
and pharmaceutical sciences, exploring gold, silver and iron-based
drug delivery systems for controlled and targeted delivery of
potential drugs and genes for enhanced clinical efficacy.
Nanotechnology is widely used in drug delivery due to its ability
to reduce plasma fluctuation of drugs, high solubility, and
efficiency, the relatively low cost of nanoscale products, and
enhancement of patient comfort, hence this resource is a welcome
edition to the science.
