About this product
The textbook Novel Drug Delivery Systems has been developed to serve as a comprehensive, curriculum-aligned academic companion tailored specifically for undergraduate pharmacy students. The curriculum designed by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and adopted by Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) for the Bachelor of Pharmacy VII Semester requires an in-depth understanding of fundamental principles, polymeric sciences, fabrication technologies, and biological barriers associated with modern therapeutics. This book addresses these academic requirements across five clearly structured units: - Unit I: Introduces controlled drug delivery systems, fundamental definitions, pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutic rationales, and the physicochemical classification of pharmaceutical polymers. - Unit II: Covers microencapsulation techniques, bioadhesive mucosal drug delivery systems (with emphasis on buccal platforms), and implantable osmotic devices. - Unit III: Explores transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS), gastro-retentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS), and naso-pulmonary delivery approaches. - Unit IV: Details targeted drug delivery paradigms, covering colloidal and vesicular carriers including liposomes, niosomes, nanoparticles, and monoclonal antibodies. - Unit V: Concludes with specialized delivery platforms, focusing on ocular drug delivery systems (ODDS), intraocular barriers, ocuserts, and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
