Liposomes in Drug Delivery: A Comprehensive Guide

Written by Sophia G. Antimisiaris, Liposomes in Drug Delivery: What, Where, How and When to Deliver is a concise and well-structured reference book that covers all the essential aspects of liposome technology in drug delivery.

Practical Information for Researchers

This book is designed to provide practical information to researchers from various disciplines who are looking to deliver a particular therapeutic or bio-active substance. It helps readers understand the potential benefits of liposomes for their specific needs, including the best type of liposome to use, where and when to deliver it, and how to design, prepare, characterize, investigate, and optimize liposome properties for a particular application.

Four-Part Structure

The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a specific aspect of liposomes in drug delivery.

Part 1: Introduction to Liposomes

The first part provides a concise yet in-depth overview of what liposomes are, the different types of liposomes, their advantages and disadvantages, and their stability, characterization methods, in vitro stability, and in vivo fate after different administration methods (routes).

Part 2: Mechanisms for Liposomal Drug Delivery

The second part explores the various mechanisms for liposomal drug delivery, including methodologies and technologies for manipulating liposome structure and properties to design liposomes for specific delivery applications. It also discusses specific roadmaps for liposome design, including components to incorporate in liposomes for specific types of encapsulated molecules or specific routes of administration.

Part 3: Liposome Applications for Drug Delivery

The third part focuses on the specific delivery considerations for particular diseases, highlighting the potential of liposomes in addressing various health conditions.

Part 4: Methods of Liposome Fabrication

The final part of the book covers the methods of liposome fabrication, providing researchers with the necessary information to create liposomes tailored to their specific needs.

Key Features:

• Focuses on key information needed for drug delivery researchers
• Covers all aspects of liposomes in drug delivery in one single volume
• Guides researchers through the decision process on whether and what liposomes are most applicable to their particular interest
