In recent years emerging trends in the design and development of drug products have indicated
ever greater need for integrated characterization of excipients and in-depth understanding of
their roles in drug delivery applications. This book presents a concise summary of relevant
scientific and mechanistic information that can aid the use of excipients in formulation design
and drug delivery applications. Each chapter is contributed by chosen experts in their
respective ¿elds which affords truly in-depth perspective into a spectrum of excipient-focused
topics. This book captures current subjects of interest - with the most up to date research
updates - in the field of pharmaceutical excipients. This includes areas of interest to the
biopharmaceutical industry users students educators excipient manufacturers and regulatory
bodies alike.
