Synthetic Polymeric Materials-Based Drug Delivery Systems for Inflammatory Diseases - Harish Dureja;Vimal Arora;Vandana B. Patravale;Paul A. McCarron;Kamal Dua

This book provides a comprehensive overview of synthetic polymers and their applications in designing delivery systems for the management of inflammatory diseases. It presents introductory insights into inflammatory conditions, delves into the role of synthetic polymers, and examines diverse delivery approaches. The book explores the potential of synthetic polymers in designing drug delivery systems for managing inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory lung diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and inflammatory skin diseases, as well as other conditions like cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and eye-related inflammatory conditions. It also discusses the role of synthetic polymers in modulating immune system responses in different disease conditions. Furthermore, it analyzes the 3D printing technologies employed for the preparation of drug delivery systems based on synthetic polymers. Towards the end, the book highlights the challenges and prospects of synthetic polymers in designing delivery systems for the effective management of inflammatory diseases and their clinical usage. This book is intended for researchers and professionals in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences, nanotechnology, and drug delivery systems.
