Ligands for Targeted Drug Delivery : Basic Fundamentals and Applications
Overview
Ligands for Targeted Drug Delivery: Basic Fundamentals and Applications is a comprehensive reference focused on the numerous ways that drug carriers can be functionalized to target specific organs, tissues, cells, and sub-cellular compartments. The first chapter covers the basic concepts of targeted drug delivery, describing the multiple levels of targets and challenges. The next chapter discusses the approaches for target-specific drug delivery and is followed by a thorough overview of the challenges in design and application of ligands. Chapter four is dedicated to the ligand conjugation strategies and chemical processing. The following chapters discuss nanoparticles, and the main ligand classes with their respective applications. The final chapters discuss future prospects of the technology, and clinical aspects of ligand modified drug delivery systems. Ligands for Targeted Drug Delivery: Basic Fundamentals and Applications is a key reference to drug delivery researchers dealing with the application of ligands to overcome challenges in delivering their active principles to the target structure. Biomedical engineers, materials scientists, and chemists can also benefit from the through description of ligand classes and their potential to improve drug delivery efficiency.
