Discussing existing techniques, ongoing research, new approaches, and basic concepts in the treatment of nail diseases, Topical Nail Products and Ungual Drug Delivery summarizes the current knowledge and represents a jumping-off point for creating novel techniques of drug delivery across the nail.

A growing area of pharmaceutical research, the search for efficient delivery techniques that can cross the nail barrier has yielded several effective strategies, brought together in this book.

Topics Include

- Nail anatomy, physiology, diseases, and treatment
- Permeability of the nail plate
- Topical nail formulations
- Approaches to enhance ungual and trans-ungual drug delivery
- In vitro and in vivo models to evaluate topical nail formulations
- Nail sampling techniques
- Bioengineering of the nail
- Trans-ungual iontophoresis
- Pharmacokinetics of drugs in the nail apparatus
- Onychopharmacokinetics: proposed model insight
- Photodynamic therapy of nail diseases
- The nail as a surrogate for investigating drug use

Zielgruppe

Academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers in the area of topical formulations, transdermal drug delivery, and controlled release drug delivery; and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in pharmaceutical sciences, medical sciences, chemical engineering, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences/engineering.
