About Book

This book delves into the utilization of computer-assisted techniques in the exploration, design, optimization, and production of novel pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems, with a focus on their efficacy and safety. It covers computational methods, statistical and molecular modeling, all aimed at facilitating the development and safe administration of drugs in humans. The integration of Quality by Design (QbD), Design of Experiments (DoE), artificial intelligence, and in silico pharmacokinetic assessment/simulation is greatly facilitated by commercial software and expert systems, all of which are thoroughly examined in this title, accompanied by examples drawn from recent research. Furthermore, this book bridges the gap between pharmaceutics and molecular modeling across various scales (micro, meso, and macro) by addressing topics such as advancements in computer-aided Drug Design (CADD), drug-polymer interactions in drug delivery systems, molecular modeling of nanoparticles, and the intersection of pharmaceutics with bioinformatics. Abundant examples, case studies, and illustrations showcasing the applications of computers in formulation design and characterization are provided. Additionally, the book includes concise reviews of software, databases, and expert systems, further piquing the interest of readers in novel applications in formulation development and drug delivery. "Computer-aided Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery" serves as a comprehensive reference for the latest scholarly updates on emerging developments in computer-assisted techniques for drug design and development. It is tailored for pharmacists, medical practitioners, students, and researchers seeking authoritative insights into this evolving field.
