Phytochemical Nanodelivery Systems as Potential Biopharmaceuticals

Beschreibung

Phytochemical Nanodelivery Systems as Potential Biopharmaceuticals comprehensively reviews current information on nanotechnology applied to phytochemical nanoencapsulation to enhance their bioavailability and bioactivity.

The book is divided into two sections, the first section critically reviews current information on the field of nanotechnology and phytochemicals, and the second section highlights the pre-clinical and clinical studies of phytochemicals to comprehensively review the efficacy of these molecules as drugs of human use.

Phytochemical Nanodelivery Systems as Potential Biopharmaceuticals provides a useful overview of this rapidly evolving field for materials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists, as well as for those with an interest in biopharmaceuticals from plant sources, such as organic chemists and food scientists.
