Nanotechnology Applied To Pharmaceutical Technology

Focusing on the application of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical technology the editors seek to integrate the two in order to obtain innovative products and solutions in pharmacology. Highly-experienced nanotech researchers Rai and Alves dos Santos have gathered a truly international and interdiscplinary group of authors to contribute to this edited work on nanotechnology and how it applies to pharmaceutical technology. They keep the focus on devising innovative nanopharmaceutical products and solutions to treat such diseases as cancer, infections, eye diseases, and in tackling multi-drug resistance threats. Nanotechnology Applied to Pharmaceutical Technology consists of four sections that include coverage of biosynthesis of nanoparticles, nano-material based formulations and toxicity, and safety issues. Focusing on the application of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical technology the editors seek to integrate the two in order to obtain innovative products and solutions in pharmacology. Interdisciplinary in content it is of interest to those who are involved in the development of nanoproducts including nanotechnologists, microbiologists, biotechnologists pharmacologists and clinicians. Recent studies are presented that include the biosynthesis of nanoparticles focusing on antimicrobials; nanomaterial-based formulations that treat cancer, infections, skin disorders and wounds;nanomaterials in eye diseases and toxicity and safety issues. It demonstrates the crucial role this plays in tackling multi-drug resistant threats.
