Advances in Nanotechnology-Based Drug Delivery Systems covers the
core concepts and latest research regarding the use of nanoscale
materials for the development and application of drug delivery
systems. The book introduces the reader to nanotechnology in drug
delivery, covering the synthesis, encapsulation techniques,
characterization and key properties of nanoscale drug delivery
systems. Later chapters review the broad range of target
applications, including site-specific delivery of drugs for
cardiovascular disease, cancer, bacterial infection, bone
regeneration. and much more. This book helps translate advanced
research into a clinical setting, analyzing the toxicity and health
and safety challenges associated with utilizing nanotechnology in
biomedicine. This will be a useful reference for those interested
in nano-sized drug delivery in biomedicine, including academics and
researchers in materials science, biomedical engineering,
pharmaceutical science and related disciplines.
Computational Phytochemistry explores how recent advances in
computational techniques and methods have been embraced by
phytochemical researchers to enhance many of their operations, thus
refocusing and expanding the possibilities of phytochemical
studies. By applying computational aids and mathematical models to
extraction, isolation, structure determination and bioactivity
testing, researchers can extract highly detailed information about
phytochemicals and optimize working approaches. This book aims to
support and encourage researchers currently working with, or
looking to incorporate, computational methods into their
phytochemical work. Topics in this book include computational
methods for predicting medicinal properties, optimizing extraction,
isolating plant secondary metabolites and building dereplicated
phytochemical libraries. The role of high-throughput screening,
spectral data for structural prediction, plant metabolomics and
biosynthesis are all reviewed, before the application of
computational aids for assessing bioactivities and virtual
screening are discussed. Illustrated with detailed figures and
supported by practical examples, this book is an indispensable
guide for all those involved with the identification, extraction
and application of active agents from natural products.
