Dermal Drug Selection and Development cover

The authors show how the pharmaceutical industry faces the development of dermal drugs and provide the only book of its kind that describes how the industry develops and selects dermal drugs, complete with the challenges and opportunities of the field. Delivery of drugs through the skin has been an attractive and challenging area for research, and advances in modern technologies have resulted in a larger number of drugs being delivered transdermally, including conventional hydrophobic small molecule drugs, hydrophilic drugs and macromolecules. Offering the perspective from the industrial side of selection and development of drugs, the primary audience is geared towards the pharmaceutical industry but can also offer valuable information to clinicians, compounding pharmacists, and similarly pharmacy students. Dermal Drug Selection and Development covers the

scientific gaps that exist in terms of dermal pharmacokinetics and the resulting uncertainty by clinicians when choosing a drug candidate.

“This book provides some valuable insights into the challenges related to the design and development of dermatopharmaceuticals. As such, this book is expected to be well received by the scientific community involved in this kind of research. … this book should serve as a reference for anyone interested in developing dermatopharmaceuticals. … Written by an expert in drug delivery, this book provides an overview of challenges the industry faces in selecting and developing a dermal product.” (Rahmat M. Talukder, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
