To facilitate the development of novel drug delivery systems and biotechnology-oriented drugs, the need for new excipients to be developed and approved continues to increase. Excipient Development for Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, and Drug Delivery Systems serves as a comprehensive source to improve understanding of excipients and forge new avenues for regulatory review and allowance to use. This book presents detailed, up-to-date information on various aspects of excipient development, testing, and technological considerations for their use. It addresses specific details such as historical perspective, preclinical testing, safety, and toxicology evaluation, as well as regulatory, quality, and utility aspects. The text also describes best practices for use of various functional excipients and extensive literature references for all topics.
