Main description:

Biodrug Delivery Systems: Fundamentals, Applications and Clinical Development presents the work of an international group of leading experts in drug development and biopharmaceutical science who discuss the latest advances in biodrug delivery systems and associated techniques. The book discusses components of successful formulation, delivery, and production of biodrugs, which include sophisticated plants and complex processes, a well-trained and knowledgeable staff, and proper quality control. In addition, the authors examine:

ADME (Absorption, Metabolism, Distribution, and Elimination of biodrugs)
Directing and influencing the successful development of currently marketed best-selling biodrugs
Routes of administration
Mechanisms of biodrug absorption
Alternative possibilities for drug delivery routes
Formulationson the market from the perspective of industry personnel involved in biodrug development
