In recent years, many animal-derived polymers have emerged as an attractive category of naturally derived polymers because of their advantageous physicochemical, chemical, and biological properties. The important biological properties of these natural polymers derived from animals are biocompatibility and biodegradation. These polymers are generally composed of repeated units of amino acids. Moreover, these polymers can be modified physically and/or chemically to improve their biomaterial properties.

Natural Polymers for Pharmaceutical Applications, Volume 3: Animal-Derived Polymers looks at how these polymers can be exploited as pharmaceutical excipients in various pharmaceutical dosage forms, like microparticles, nanoparticles, ophthalmic preparations, gels, implants, etc. The commonly used animal-derived polymers used as pharmaceutical excipients are hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan), albumin, collagen, gelatin, chondroitin, etc.

Presenting some of the latest research updates on the animal-derived polymers for various pharmaceutical applications, this volume will provide useful information of value to faculty and students, researchers, and industry professionals in the disciplines of medical and pharmaceutical sciences, drug delivery, biomedical engineering, and nanomedicine.

Key features:
  • Presents research on the applicability of natural polymers in drug delivery
  • Explores the methodology for design, development, and appropriate selection of natural polymers for particular therapeutic applications
  • Includes illustrations demonstrating the mechanisms of biological interactions of natural polymers
  • Discusses the regulatory aspects and illustrations demonstrating the clinical efficacy of natural polymers
