Targeted Drug Delivery

Novel approaches in targeted drug delivery for both small molecule and biopharmaceutical drugs

Targeted  Drug Delivery explores a new frontier in drug research that has become a  focus for developing novel medications. The work discusses a wide range  of approaches for targeting small molecules as well as peptide and  macromolecular drugs, from prodrugs to drug conjugates to drug carriers  and devices, helping readers to stay up to date on the latest  developments in the field.

The following key topics are addressed:
Antibody  conjugates, prodrugs, and suicide gene therapeuticsProtac technology  for selectively degrading target proteinsDelivery of nucleic acid  drugsNovel drug carriers, such as liposomes, vesicles, and  nanoparticlesUnmet medical needs for which there is a large market  potential, such as viral infections and cancer
For chemists,  pharmacologists, and professionals in the wider pharmaceutical industry,  Targeted Drug Delivery is a comprehensive guide on how to solve the  greatest challenge in treating many diseases: delivering a  pharmaceutically active substance to the target tissue in the body.
