Unlock the Potential of Advanced Porous Biomaterials in Drug Delivery Applications

Edited by Mahaveer Kurkuri, Dusan Losic, U.T. Uthappa, and Ho-Young Jung, this comprehensive book delves into the cutting-edge progress of advanced porous biomaterials in drug delivery systems. These innovative biomaterials have the potential to revolutionize the design, cost, and creation of novel drug delivery systems, offering improved efficacy and patient outcomes.

Nature Engineered and Synthetic Advanced Porous Biomaterials

The book categorizes advanced porous biomaterials into two main groups: nature engineered and synthetic materials. It explores a wide range of low-cost porous biomaterial-based systems that have been successfully used for the delivery of diverse drugs through in vitro and in vivo approaches.

These biomaterials have been shown to enhance essential properties in drug delivery applications, including controlled release, cancer therapy, and targeted delivery. The book places a special emphasis on oral, topical, and transdermal applications, highlighting the vast potential of advanced porous biomaterials in mitigating a variety of diseases.

Applications in Drug Delivery

The book provides an in-depth look at the major applications of advanced porous biomaterials in drug delivery, including:

• Controlled release: prolonging the duration of drug action
• Cancer therapy: targeted delivery of anti-cancer agents
• Targeted delivery: reducing systemic toxicity and enhancing efficacy
• Oral, topical, and transdermal applications: improving patient compliance and convenience

By focusing on both naturally available and synthetic low-cost advanced porous biomaterials, the book provides a comprehensive overview of their role in enhancing important parameters in drug delivery applications.

This book is an ideal reference for academics, researchers, and industry professionals in the interdisciplinary fields of biomedicine, biomedical engineering, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and chemistry. Its accessible language makes it suitable for readers with bio and non-bio backgrounds.
