The ADME Encyclopedia covers pharmacokinetic phenomena (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion processes) and their relationship with the design of pharmaceutical carriers and the success of drug therapies. It covers both basic and advance knowledge, serving as introductory material for students of biomedical careers and also as reference, updated material for graduates and professionals working in any field related to pharmaceutical sciences (medicine, pharmaceutical technology, materials science, medicinal chemistry). Structured as alphabetically ordered entries and subentries, the Encyclopedia not only provides basic knowledge on ADME processes, but also detailed entries on some advanced subjects such as drug transporters, multi-drug resistance related to pharmacokinetic phenomena, last generation pharmaceutical carriers, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, bioequivalence studies, biowaivers, biopharmaceuticals, pharmacokinetic drug interactions or in silico and in vitro assessment of ADME properties.

The Second Edition of the ADME Processes in Pharmaceutical Sciences maintains the general structure of the first volume. The first part is dedicated to the generalities of LADME processes, including compartmental pharmacokinetics, and the second part is dedicated to burgeoning topics in the field, including pharmaceutical nanocarriers, pharmacogenomics, and pharmacokinetics of biologicals. The contents of the first edition have been kept (revised, updated and expanded) and six entirely new chapters are introduced to this second edition. American, European, and Latin American experts from both industry and academia converge in this volume intended for undergraduate and graduate Pharmacy, Medicine, and other health care careers, but also for professionals from other related fields working in relation to pharmaceuticals, such as chemists, biochemists, material scientists, bioengineers and molecular biologists. The volume is abundant in pedagogical features, including highlights, definitions, figures, tables, book recommendations, case studies and questions. ADME Processes (2nd Edition) is designed as a core textbook for pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, biopharmacy, drug design, medicinal chemistry, and pharmaceutical technology courses. .

Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) processes and their relationship with the design of dosage forms and the success of pharmacotherapy form the basis of this upper level undergraduate/graduate textbook. As an introduction oriented to pharmacy students, it is also written for scientist from different fields outside of pharmaceutics. (e.g. material scientist, material engineers, medicinal chemists) who might be working in a positions in pharmaceutical companies or whose work might benefit from basic training in the ADME concepts and some biological background. Pedagogical features such as objectives, keywords, discussion questions, summaries and case studies add valuable teaching tools. This book will provide not only general knowledge on ADME processes but also an updated insight on some hot topics such as drug transporters, multi-drug resistance related to pharmacokinetic phenomena, last generation pharmaceutical carriers (nanopharmaceuticals), in vitro and in vivo bioequivalence studies, biopharmaceuticals, pharmacogenomics, drug-drug and food-drug interactions, and in silico and in vitro prediction of ADME properties. In comparison with other similar textbooks, around half of the volume would be focused on the relationship between expanding scientific fields and ADME processes. Each of these burgeoning fields has a separate chapter in the second part of the volume, and was written with leading experts on the correspondent topic, including scientists and academics from USA and UK (Duquesne University School of Pharmacy, Indiana University School of Medicine, University of Utah College of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, University of Bath). Additionally, each of the initial chapters dealing with the generalities of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion would include relevant, classic examples related to each topic with appropriate illustrations (e.g. importance of active absorption of levodopa, implications in levodopa administration, drug drug interactions and food drug interactions emerging from the active uptake; intoxication with paracetamol as a result of glutathione depletion, CYP induction and its relationship with acute liver failure caused by paracetamol, etc). ADME Processes and Pharmaceutical Sciences is written as a core textbook for ADME processes, pharmacy, pharmacokinetics, drug delivery, biopharmaceutics, drug disposition, drug design and medicinal chemistry courses.
