Approaches for Brain Targeting Using Nanoparticulate Systems

Approaches for Brain Targeting Using Nanoparticulate Systems, 1st Edition, provides a systematic examination of nanocarrier engineering designed for central nervous system drug administration. The text evaluates specialized delivery methods intended to improve drug permeation across the blood-brain barrier while limiting off-target distribution throughout biological tissues.

The volume classifies a wide variety of particulate carriers into distinct physical and chemical categories. It reviews solid polymer and lipid platforms, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, hybrid nanostructures, and solid lipid nanoparticles. Subsequent chapters analyze network and fluid formulations, covering dendrimers, hydrogel matrices, nanoemulsions, micellar platforms, and metal-based nanoparticles.

Final chapters evaluate specialized technological constructs, detailing localized brain implants, quantum dots, carbon-based nanoparticles, theranostic platforms, and AI-embedded systems. This volume provides structural reference material tailored for researchers in neuroscience and neuropharmacology, alongside clinicians working with advanced drug delivery systems.
