Formulation and Delivery of Proteins and Peptides

Presents an updated review of the recent research in formulation and delivery of proteins and peptides. Examines measurement and characterization of degradation products formed during storage, degradation mechanisms, and model systems designed to predict formulation stability. Discusses stabilization of proteins and peptides through lyophilization and focuses on the use of FTIR as a tool for understanding the role of excipients during lyophilization. Describes potential new routes and methods of delivery such as depot systems based on biodegradable polymers and aerosol systems for pulmonary delivery.Cleland, Jeffrey L. is the author of 'Formulation and Delivery of Proteins and Peptides' with ISBN 9780841229594 and ISBN 0841229597.
