This Special Issue provides an update on the state of the art and current trends in
polymeric drug delivery systems specifically designed for improving drug bioavailability.
The multiple contributions received further strengthen the role of…

The discovery of new drugs is one of pharmaceutical research's most exciting and challenging tasks. Unfortunately, the conventional drug discovery procedure is chronophagous and seldom successful; furthermore, new drugs are needed to address our…

Nanovesicles are highly-promising and versatile systems for the delivery and/or targeting of
drugs, biomolecules and contrast agents. Despite the fact that initial studies in this area were performed
on phospholipid vesicles, there is an…

Nanomedicine is probably one of the most investigated areas in the field of pharmaceutics in the last two decades. Nanotechnology-based formulations have been mainly investigated as a useful tool for drug delivery and targeting. Despite the wide…

Canadian Pharmaceutical Scientists have a rich history of groundbreaking research in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism undertaken primarily throughout its Pharmacy Faculties and within the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industry. The principles…

Fungal and parasitic diseases affect more than a billion people across the globe, one-sixth of the world’s population, mostly located in developing countries. The lack of effective and safer treatments combined with a deficient diagnosis lead to serious…

The use of minerals as ingredients in health care products is a classical and active pharmaceutical
subject. Clays and also zeolites and other silica-based mesoporous inorganic ingredients have been
traditionally used as pharmaceutical and cosmetic…

Over the past two decades, considerable research efforts in academia and industry have gone into pharmaceutical cocrystals. As a result, a large number of studies on both fundamental aspects and applications of cocrystallisation have been published,…

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is one of the most successful polymers that has been used
to produce medicines, such as drug carriers (DC). This is one of the few polymers that the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for human…
