Understand and assess the design, delivery, and efficacy of orally administered drugs

A practical guide to understanding oral bioavailability, one of the major hurdles in drug development and delivery, Oral Bioavailability: Basic Principles, Advanced Concepts, and Applications is designed to help chemists, biologists, life science researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, clinicians, and graduate and students become familiar with the fundamentals and practices of the science of oral bioavailability.

The difference in rate and extent between a drug taken orally and the actual amount of a drug reaching the circulatory system, oral bioavailability is an essential parameter for determining the efficacy and adverse effects of new and developing medications, as well as finding an optimal dosing regimen.

This book provides a much-needed one-stop resource to help readers better understand and appreciate the many facets and complex problems of oral bioavailability, including the basic barriers to oral bioavailability, the methods used to determine relevant parameters, and the challenges of drug delivery.

In addition, this comprehensive book discusses biological and physicochemical methods for improving bioavailability, integrates physicochemistry with physiology and molecular biology, and includes several state-of-the-art technologies and approaches-Caco-2 cell culture model, MDCK, and other related cell culture models-which are used to study the science of oral bioavailability.

Industry Reviews
"This book comprehensively covers the topics and issues of oral bioavailability and applications in drug development. The book helps readers master the basic terminology of the field, understand the basic barriers to oral bioavailability, be acquainted with the methods used to determine relevant parameters, and comprehend the challenge associated with oral drug delivery." (Fort Mill Times, 18 October 2011)
