Koo O.M.Y. (Ed.) Pharmaceutical Excipients: Properties, Functionality, and Applications in Research and Industry

Wiley, 2017. — 348 p. — ISBN10: 111814564X.Considered essential to pharmaceutical drug product development, pharmaceutical excipients are materials, other than the active moiety, intentionally included in a drug product for the purpose of ensuring it is acceptable to regulatory authorities and patients in terms of manufacturability and performance. Pharmaceutical excipients are a very diverse group of materials, of either natural or synthetic origins, and can range from very simple molecules to complex high molecular weight polymers. Having a good foundation in the field of excipients, how they are developed, regulated and understanding their properties and effects is crucial for dosage formulation.
Pharmaceutical Excipients: Properties, Functionality, and Applications in Research and Industry provides a broad overview of excipients, their functionalities in pharmaceutical dosage forms, and how their selection can influence pharmaceutical products manufacture. Eight detailed chapters encompass the development, characterization, applications and case studies, harmonization, and research in the field of excipients.
Including up-to-date advancements of excipients used for pharmaceutical development; this valuable resource for scientists, researchers, regulatory personnel, and chemical engineers encompasses the overview, applications, and most current research.Excipient Characterization
