Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies By Bruno Sarmento

Concepts and Models for Drug Permeability Studies by Bruno Sarmento provides a thorough and insightful exploration of drug permeability and the diverse models used to study it. This book is designed for professionals, researchers, and students involved in pharmaceutical research and drug development, offering a clear understanding of how drug absorption and drug distribution occur in biological systems. From foundational concepts to advanced computational models, this resource bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application, helping readers optimize drug design and enhance therapeutic efficacy.

The book examines both traditional models and innovative models, providing real-world examples of how in vitro models, in vivo models, and computational simulations contribute to predicting drug behavior. Readers gain a solid understanding of physicochemical properties, such as molecular size, lipophilicity, and ionization, and their impact on drug permeability. Special attention is given to transporter proteins, physiological barriers like the blood-brain barrier, and strategies for enhancing drug permeability through chemical modifications and formulation strategies.
