Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience

Editat de Ijeoma F. Uchegbu, Andreas G. Schätzlein, Woei Ping Cheng, Aikaterini Lalatsa
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 2013
Nanoscience or the science of the very small offers the pharmaceutical scientist a wealth of opportunities. By fabricating at the nanoscale, it is possible to exert unprecedented control on drug activity. This textbook will showcase a variety of nanosystems working from their design and construction to their application in the field of drug delivery. The book is intended for graduate students in drug delivery, physical and polymer chemistry, and applied pharmaceutical sciences courses that involve fundamental nanoscience.
The purpose of the text is to present physicochemical and biomedical properties of synthetic polymers with an emphasis on their application in polymer therapeutics i.e., pharmaceutical nanosystems, drug delivery and biological performance. There are two main objectives of this text. The first is to provide advanced graduate students with knowledge of the principles of nanosystems and polymer science including synthesis, structure, and characterization of solution and solid state properties. The second is to describe the fundamentals of therapeutic applications of polymers in drug delivery, targeting, response modifiers as well as regulatory issues.
The courses, often listed as Advanced Drug Delivery and Applied Pharmaceutics; Polymer Therapeutics; or Nanomedicine, are designed as an overview of the field specifically for graduate students in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate Programs. However, the course content may also be of interest for graduate students in related biomedical research programs.
These courses generally include a discussion of the major principles of polymer science and fundamental concepts of application of polymers as modern therapeutics. All courses are moving away from the above mentioned course names and going by ‘pharmaceutical nanoscience or nanosystems’. This area of research and technology development has attracted tremendous attention during the last two decades and it is expected that it will continue to grow in importance. However, the area is just emerging and courses are limited but they are offered.

Professor Ijeoma F. Uchegbu
Ijeoma Uchegbu is Professor of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience at the UCL School of Pharmacy, University College London and Chief Scientific Officer of Nanomerics, a spin out company from the UCL School of Pharmacy in London.
She obtained her PhD from the School of Pharmacy, University of London in 1994, was appointed to a lectureship within the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Strathclyde University in 1997 and a Chair in Drug Delivery at Strathclyde University in 2002.  In 2006 Ijeoma was appointed to the Chair in Pharmaceutical Nanoscience at the School of Pharmacy and in 2010 Ijeoma founded Nanomerics with Andreas G. Schätzlein. Nanomerics is a speciality pharmaceutical company focused on exploiting pharmaceutical nanotechnology platforms (http://www.nanomerics.com/) for medicines development.
Ijeoma’s research in pharmaceutical nanoscience has provided insights into nanoparticle design for drug delivery, producing nanosystems (nanomedicines) that promote oral drug absorption, peptide drug transport to the brain and, in collaboration with Andreas Schätzlein, gene/ siRNA transport to experimental tumours.
Ijeoma is the former Scientific Secretary of the Controlled Release Society (CRS), a learned society with over 2,000 members, with interests in the delivery of pharmaceuticals, former Chair of the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Great Britain and the former Academia Expert on the Department for Business Innovation and Skills’ Science Engineering and Technology Strategy for Women Expert Group.
Ijeoma has been awarded various prizes for her work, notably the UK Department for Business Innovation Skills’ Women of Outstanding Achievement in Science Engineering and Technology award (http://www.theukrc.org/women/women-of-outstanding-achievement/2007-collection/professor-ijeoma-uchegbu) and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Pharmaceutical Scientist of the Year 2012 and she was elected to the Controlled Release Society College of Fellows in 2013. Ijeoma is the editor of two books, a named inventor on 10 granted patents and 11 patent families. Ijeoma has also authored over 90 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters.
Dr Andreas G. Schatzlein

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The emerging discipline of nanoscience has resulted in a number of new technologies.  These groundbreaking advances are firing the imagination of a generation of scientists and leading to new materials with a wealth of functionality.  In the biomedical sciences these technological advances are finally translating into clinically relevant products and bringing patients exciting new therapies and diagnostics.  This is the first book of its kind that seeks to present the application of nanoscience to medicines development - pharmaceutical nanoscience in one accessible volume.  The nanotechnologies that derive from pharmaceutical nanoscience are just beginning to make their mark. The book spans the chemistries, which are harnessed to create the materials, the concepts upon which their application rests and model examples of the exploitation of this new knowledge to bring healthcare benefits. A final chapter on the commercialisation pathways taken by these new technologies provides a fitting end to the book as all science is geared towards new knowledge or an improved quality of life through the creation of new interventions, products or services. The book is designed to introduce undergraduates to the technologies underpinning these emerging and existing products, provide a reference volume for graduate scholars seeking an introduction to the fields of pharmaceutical nanoscience and pharmaceutical nanotechnology and provide the expert with accessible information on complementary areas satellite to their main areas of expertise.
