Polymer-Drug Conjugates: Linker Chemistry, Protocols and Applications. This item is unavailable.Polymer-Drug Conjugates: Linker Chemistry, Protocols and Applications

Polymer-Drug Conjugates: Linker Chemistry, Protocols and Applications discusses important concepts, fundamentals and prospective applications of ‘Linker Chemistry’ in a clear-and-concise manner. The book provides vital information on chemical entities binding with the drug-polymer complex for targeted drug delivery systems. It highlights roles and significance, different classes and synthetic protocols as well as mechanisms of chemical bond formation in drug-polymer conjugation in drug delivery, also offering insights into the mechanism of polymer interaction with linker and drug molecules by biodegradable chemical bonding.

The protocol of binding with drug molecules is clearly explained and justified with case studies, helping researchers and advanced students in the pharmaceutical sciences understand fundamentals involved and related aspects in molecule designing for effective therapeutic benefits.

• Covers mechanism, protocol and therapeutic significance of Polymer-Drug Conjugates
• Outlines updated methods and techniques to enumerate conjugation with related case studies
• Includes comprehensive compilation of marketed and clinical trial drugs conjugated with polymers or linkers

Dr. Jitender Madan is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmaceutics at NIPER Hyderabad, a leading researcher and educator in pharmaceutical sciences. His research centers on self-assembled supramolecular systems―liposomes, niosomes, cyclodextrins, nano- and microparticles, and solid-lipid nanoparticles―and leverages FDA-approved biomaterials with lipids and polymers to develop innovative dosage forms that improve bioavailability, stability, safety, and patient compliance. He has mentored numerous doctoral and postgraduate scholars and led industry collaborations and government-funded projects. Notable products include cycloencapsulated andrographolide for immune support and a veterinary spray for bovine mastitis. He has authored a robust body of peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, holds several patents, and has edited nanotechnology-focused volumes. A recognized educator and researcher, he actively contributes as a peer reviewer and advances pharmaceutical science and education through programs like SRIP.

Whilst a wide range of applications are being taken up, the special emphasis is given to augment the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of lipophilic drugs.
