Elsevier Membrane Transporters and Drug Delivery: A Comprehensive and Multidisciplinary Guide

Membrane Transporters and Drug Delivery: A comprehensive and multidisciplinary guide begins with a comprehensive introduction to membrane transporters, their function, structure, and regulation mechanisms. It then moves into the impact of diseases on transporters and how this may affect pharmacokinetics. The book also presents the latest advancements in transporter-mediated drug delivery. A unique feature of this book is its detailed exploration of the methodologies used in transporter research, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and limitations of each approach. It examines the roles of both efflux and influx transporters in drug pharmacokinetics and covers different strategies for utilizing membrane transporters for drug delivery and targeting to specific tissues and cell types. The book concludes with a discussion on regulatory and industrial aspects of transporter-related projects and explores the potential of artificial intelligence in transporter and drug delivery research.
