Site-Specific Drug Delivery: Cell Biology, Medical, and Pharmaceutical Aspects (Wiley Medical Publication)

By Stanley S. Davis

Recent advances in cell and molecular biology are providing exciting opportunities for the rational design of novel highly specific and effective therapeutic agents. These opportunities will often only be turned into clinical success through strategies which ensure the delivery of such agents to the desired site of action. This is achieved via processes which prevent loss of drug activity, avoid toxicity and provide cost- effective and convenient therapy. This book addresses some of the biological opportunities and scientific challenges for the site-specific delivery of drugs, and indicates the formidable obstacles which face the pharmaceutical industry and academia alike.
