Biotechnology Conference: Drug Delivery and Drug Targeting Systems Held in London, United Kingdom on 14-15 December 1987

摘要

Presentations given at this conference, held in December 1987 London, UK, are reviewed in detail. Topics include development of new dosage forms; controlled release (including oral dosage forms, implants, and transdermal systems); the possibilities and limitations of greater selectivity in targeted delivery of currently available systems such as liposomes, macromolecules, monoclonal antibodies, and prodrugs; and delivery of peptides and proteins via the gastrointestinal and nasal routes. Keywords: Drug delivery systems; Transdermal drug delivery; Nasal drug delivery; Microadhesives; Polymers; Hydrogels; Liposomes; Nasal delivery of drugs; Controlled-release systems. (kt)
