Emulsions and Nanosuspensions for the Formulation of Poorly Soluble Drugs

Explore possible new approaches for overcoming poorly soluble drugs - a challenge to drug formulation work and an increasing problem. Many newly developed drugs are poorly soluble, very often simultaneously in aqueous and in organic media.
Emulsions and Nanosuspensions for the Formulation of Poorly Soluble Drugs aims to:

review the possibilities, limitations and future perspectives of emulsions as drug carriers considering technology from other than the phamaceutical industry (i.e food industry).

show the production technology of nanosuspensions, explain the special dissolution properties (i.e. increased saturation solubility) and increased dissolution velocity (theory), and cover the possible applications.

present the theory of high pressure homogenization and high pressure extrusion in dispersion techniques, including examples of applications and size measurements in concentrated dispersions.
