Full Description
New Trends in Cyclodextrins Technology for Pharmaceuticals: Innovations Based on Cyclodextrins for the Pharmaceutical World presents a detailed overview on the properties and applications of cyclodextrins in the pharmaceutical field. Cyclodextrins are versatile and attractive molecules that can act as tools in the development of new methods and applications for nanomedicine and drug delivery. The book presents an up-to-date introduction to cyclodextrins and their properties. The chapters then explore current and future methodologies for the use of cyclodextrins in drug delivery systems, biomedical applications, and nanomedicine. The uses of cyclodextrins to design dendritic structures and optimize dendrimers are also examined. This new reference will be invaluable for researchers studying the development of controlled drug release systems based on cyclodextrins and chemists working in pharmaceuticals or health science.
