This exhaustive reference-the first book of its kind to describe in detail the
functionality of the human respiratory tract and its impact on both local and
systemic delivery of biotherapeutic and macromolecular drug systems-offers
comprehensive analyses of peptide and protein drug delivery through the lung.
Summarizes over 130 patents granted worldwide on alternative systems for
pulmonary delivery of therapeutic drugs-especially peptides and proteins
Examining macromolecular drug delivery as an efficient, patient-friendly, and
cost-effective method of treatment, Inhalation Delivery of Therapeutic Peptides
and Proteins discusses
airway physiology and biomechanics
the pharmaceutical concerns associated with the respiratory tract as a viable
port of drug entry to the body
